Early look at more unseen 2024 players

I covered an Individual Showcase that Pass Tha Ball had a few months for middle school players and I requested information on tournaments those young ladies would be participating in so I could try to make it out and catch what I love to see, progression. 2025 Sarah Gregory was one of the participants, that group will be on my <a href="http://girlzprepreport.blogspot.com/2020/01/pin-oak-tournament-7th-grade-standouts.html">BLOG</a>,  and I was forwarded a schedule for a 7th and 8th-grade tournament held at Pin Oak Middle School so I was happy, to say the least at the abundance of up and coming players I saw and the fact that I ran into former Pin Oaks star Jade Miller one of the areas top sophomore guards was sort of like icing on the cake but here are some of the prospects that caught my eye in 2024 class [caption id="attachment_135991" align="alignleft" width="82"] Ashley York[/caption] <strong>Ashley York-G (Pin Oak)</strong> several things stood out early but the main thing was she understands how to score a variety of ways and thinks the game. Attacking the basket and finishing with contact happened over and over but her ability to not only create the shot but make it was big at this stage and I love her upside <strong>Amabel Ajakaye-G (Village School)</strong> it was great to see some of the younger players since I've watched the varsity almost a dozen times this season but Ajakaye is raw in many areas yet she sizzled at times. She attacks and finishes well, showed the midrange but playing defense and that ever so important passing lane was nice [caption id="attachment_135993" align="alignleft" width="115"] Ja'khalan Green &amp; Joryan Harper[/caption] Beaumont in the house and I'm talking Vincent and Marshall. The inside play from Vincent was strong at times, good upside from several players on their squad and the same can be said for Marshall because<strong> Joryan Harper</strong> finished strong as well as rebounded on both ends yet the energy from <strong>Ja'khalan Green</strong> got my adrenaline going as she was everywhere and her big steal to put team in position to win came up short but she did it &nbsp; &nbsp; [caption id="attachment_135995" align="alignleft" width="116"] Tailor Perkins and Asia Davis[/caption] <strong>Tailor Perkins-F (Plummer)</strong> she's on the verge of something big, her energy and athleticism plus her desire just caught me off the top as she played the passing lane and anticipated from all over the court while leaving her position for steals yet she was quick enough to get back. She attacks relentlessly, finishes with contact and has "ups" and "timing" which got her rebounds and blocks galore <strong>Asia Davis-F (Plummer)</strong> good size and length and understands positioning which is pretty big at this stage but her ability to finish from numerous angles as well as facing the basket to score were definitely bright spots. With the tools she has, her upside is good, she won't give up and goes after the ball of the backboards as well as on the floor &nbsp;
