2023 Prospects I’d Offer Right Now

College is next up for the Class of 2023. This is a big year for a number of players across South Florida. Right now, area prospects are working hard on the summer circuit across the nation. Hopefully their play will lead to offers from college programs across the country. What players should be getting a look? Here are some picks... [player_tooltip player_id="219936" first="Mariah" last="Mckenzie"] - South Broward [player_tooltip player_id="219936" first="Mariah" last="Mckenzie"] has strong athleticism and length out of the backcourt. The 5-foot-8 shooting guard averaged 16.2 points and four assists per game while shooting 46 percent from the field. Furthermore, McKenzie went 35-of-94 (37 percent) from deep. Overall, she was an efficient shooter at a high volume. McKenzie shot at least 43 percent from the floor in every game she scored 20 or more points. Most of those efforts she was well above 50 percent from the field. McKenzie was also active on defense with 74 rebounds and 71 steals overall. [player_tooltip player_id="363903" first="Konstantina" last="Mantziori"] - Cardinal Gibbons I think this is a good time to look at [player_tooltip player_id="363903" first="Konstantina" last="Mantziori"]. Anyone that saw her at Cardinal Gibbons knows she can play. Mantziori plays the point very well with her ability to handle the ball and read the floor. She has all the skill to conduct an offensive set in the halfcourt or transition. I’ve been impressed with her ability to make passes in either instance. She is also developing as an offensive scorer and already does a good job getting to the basket. [player_tooltip player_id="219941" first="Madison" last="Aguilera"] - Gulliver Prep [player_tooltip player_id="219941" first="Madison" last="Aguilera"] earned an offer from Warner University on May 5th. The 5-foot-3 guard is one of the best shooters in the area and should be receiving more college interest. Aguilera can catch-and shoot at a high volume or create her own shot. She is more athletic than people might realize off the dribble. Aguilera averaged nearly 22 points per game and hit 71 3-pointers. [player_tooltip player_id="219938" first="Taylor" last="Blackshear"] - Benjamin [player_tooltip player_id="219938" first="Taylor" last="Blackshear"] is a highly athletic guard out of Benjamin. The 5-foot-7 prospect averaged 18.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 7.6 steals while shooting 39 percent from the field. Blackshear can do a bit of everything on the floor with her speed and quickness. Her playmaking ability helped The Benjamin School win 15 games. Any increase in her shooting efficiency could take her to the next level. [player_tooltip player_id="166162" first="Kendra" last="Bentley"] - Santaluces [player_tooltip player_id="166162" first="Kendra" last="Bentley"] was one of the best scorers in the state. The 5-foot-8 combo guard is an efficient playmaker from all three levels. Bentley has plenty of handle to score off the drive and finish with either hand.
