Steele was recently offered by East Central and after watching her in Fort Gibson earlier this month, it’s easy to see why. She led her Lady Comets squad that went toe to toe and even beat some of the bigger programs at the camp. She’s a strong guard who did a little bit of everything with rebounding and creation duties for Kanas. But don’t get it twisted, she’s also a bucket.

Big time shot maker off the bounce, with a sneaky burst to slip to the rim. Where she’s strong with a good mix of finesse and soft touch around the rim. Throw in a good mid-range game and she can truly do damage at all three levels. Was also impressed with her poise to never look sped up even when going against quicker defenders. In a loaded class like 2028, small town stars like Steeles can be overlooked at times. But not any more, she’s one of the gems of northeastern Oklahoma.

This young lady showed up early and working on ball handling and step back jumpers. Warm ups looked smooth and impressive yet sometimes it never transfers to the game. Not this young lady she is a tough player to keep in front of when defending. Shawnee may be one of the best guards I have seen this summer creating space for the jump shot. It is just enough bump and fake to get the defender going backwards to get the shot off. Good pocket dribble and change of speed kept the defender guessing on it it is a shot or drive.

On defense she has quick hands and moves lateral coving a lot of space. She scored on several fastbreak layups by jumping the passing lanes for the steal.

2028 that has great size and good basketball instinct It was first time seeing Shawnee play and I can honestly say she needs to be ranked somewhere. A scoring guard to watch for in the upcoming season
