<p>Have you ever had a hunch about something and thought “hmm, I wonder if…” For some odd reason, I have been thinking about the game a lot lately. Maybe because, starting next week, teams can get in the gym and have actual practices. My thoughts have run deeper than just that, though. </p>

<p>Over the past couple of months, I have been impressed by many things related to basketball in Tennessee. Grizzlies seem to be on the upswing. Men's and women's college ball are competitive. It seems more kids in the state are getting collegiate looks, so shout-out to the prospects. The quality of high school basketball seems to be on the upswing. There is more parity in the game this year than ever. It just seems like an exciting time for basketball in Tennessee.</p>

<p>Having watched prospects on different platforms, I am elated to see what everyone will bring to the table this season. A lot of kids have caught my eye, and I can't wait to see them in action and represent their squad.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This kid is the real deal, and she will be one of the next top prospects in the state. The way she controls her body and fights through contact is pretty impressive. She can score from all levels, creates off the dribble, and competes on the defensive end at a high level. This summer and in multiple showcase opportunities, she got after it, leaving nothing to chance. She went at folks, period. Her mindset is just different, and her heading to PC is going to take them up another level.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A kid who I am interested to see where her recruitment takes her. She's a killer. A kid who will find a way to put the ball in the hoop by any means necessary. She can shoot the rock in rhythm or put it on the floor and finish against contact. I'm impressed by her court vision and her feel for the game. For example, if she catches the ball in the short corner, she will feel where her opponent gives her, then unleash a quick move to put the ball up. You mainly see plays like that done at a higher level. This kid is definitely on an upward trajectory, and the sky is the limit for this young lady.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">There is something about this young lady that I can't put my finger on. Maybe it's her swagger and how she approaches the game. Don't let the size fool you; this kid is a ballplayer. She lets her game do the talking. Pull-up jumpers, getting paint touches, drawing 2-on-1s or finishing at the rim, stingy on the defensive end. She plays with this chip on her shoulder, similar to the one Allen Iverson had. She's a hooper, one you can tell that she's in the gym all the time working on her craft. I expect her to not only propel her ballclub to the next level, but also make an even bigger name for herself on the recruiting circuit.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This kid is the definition of being the “glue girl.” A selfless ballplayer who just gets after it. No matter what her assignment is, she does it plus more, executing by any means necessary. She can spot up on the arc or finish at the rim against contact. I love her hustle and heart, and it shows when she goes after loose balls and grabs rebounds. She's going to be a major factor for this FRA squad moving forward. A kid who enjoys the game and plays it the right way.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A kid with a chip on her shoulder; once that confidence bar is full-blown, she's going to be a problem. If you are a hoops fan and watched the Pistons in the early 2000s, you know they had a guy named Ben Wallace. Ben was known to swat shots whenever someone was near the bucket. Destini she's capable of doing the same. This kid is going to be an enforcer in the paint. Someone who will anchor the middle and hold it down. This season is going to be her coming-out party. <br></p>

Here are a few prospects that have caught my attention recently with their style and play.
This kid is the real deal, and she will be one of the next top prospects in the state. The way she controls her body and fights through contact is pretty impressive.
