The summer circuit is used for many things. 1) to get scene by college coaches. 2) to compete against girls at a higher level. 3) to get better. Period. Of course there are hoopers all over the country but I feel that Tennessee has some of the best talent around. I've seen the grind, the hard work, and the work ethic girls have put in. I've seen the development and the improvement over the course of the summer months. This state has the talent for all collegiate levels.    Here are some under the radar prospects who are about to take flight .   [player_tooltip player_id='496300' first='Bailey' last='Ford']- the 5'9 wing from Beech is a special talent. Can score it from all 3 levels. Get down hill and finish. Understands the game and knows how to use her body to take advantage of mismatches. Can defend quick guard and bang with big girls. Finished All Tournament team in the NE2K division in the Orlando Splash. Special talent that will help the Lady Bucs reach new heights.   [player_tooltip player_id='625399' first='Morgan' last='Williams']- 5'6 guard from White Station. Nice with the ball in her hands. She can shoot the 3 ball consistently or get down hill and finish against contact. Speed is a major attribute of hers and she knows how to turn it on and off at the drop of a dime. Lockdown defender who creates chaos. Heady player who is passionate about the game of basketball.   [player_tooltip player_id='409015' first='Ava' last='Krumwiede']- the 6'1 wing from Harpeth Hall is nice. Can play inside or out, create her own shot off the dribble, launch from deep, finish at the rim, used in the pick and roll game, and can defend. Her game is on an upwards trajectory as she continues to gain more confidence . You talking about a problem, this girl creates mismatches like no other. Tough kid who finds ways to exploit her opponents weaknesses.   Hillary Shikuku- dual sport athlete is very speedy . This kid is on go mode all the time. Defending she's gonna create turnovers. Offensively, she's going to get to the bucket or knock down a shot from the mid-range. Her presence alone on the floor creates havoc and makes coaches deter from where she is. A hard working kid who is going to make you grind for 32 minutes.   [player_tooltip player_id='409035' first='Channah' last='Gannon']- is a beast point blank. The 6'0 post can bang you down low or step out and knock shots down from deep. She controls the glass and makes it hard for opponents to operate in the paint. A selfless player who sacrifices her opportunity to be a better teammate. Finishes strong through contact. Competes from start to finish.   [player_tooltip player_id='509179' first='Lily' last='Melton']- The 6'0 stretch forward is a warrior . Can play inside and out, she can guard guards or bang with the bigs. A multi level scoring threat that can play and adapt in any system. Has great hands and foot speed. Battles on the glass. Consistent player who is passionate about the game. Kait Fielding- the 5'7 guard is on an upward swing. She can score the ball from multiple spots on the floor. She plays with a motor and competes every time she steps on the floor. A heady player who knows how to pick her spots. Has a great basketball IQ.
