Tymberlin CriswellJada Malone is one of the top players in the country, I have her atop at #1 from the 2021 class in Texas for a n umber of reasons. She’s around 6’4 and has shown over the years she can face the basket and score, she showed the long ball this season, as well as defend on the inside as well as the perimeter and all of that is very marketable as she can play 3-5 in the right situations at the next level, I don’t guess folks
Tymberlin Criswell is a highly recruited guard, she’s among the top 2021 players in Texas and after her showing in the summer, she will be JEFFERSONIZED, “Movin On Up” in the rankings. Her athleticism and length gives her an advantage because she can create her shot, elevate over defenders or drive by them for acrobatic lay-ups. One huge thing i love in players is when they read the defense and her being able to play the passing lane gets her easy baskets going the other way
Newcomer Emily Dogbaste is among my Top 100 2020 players, that pull-up jumper just keeps getting better and I’m talking mid to long range nut she also defends and rebounds on both ends. Her physicality and college ready frame are other assets that college coaches love and when you enjoy applying heat, well you better be able to stay in the kitchen because she brings it strong
Aiken SemonesAiken Semones is another returnee and since the 3rd grade, maybe the 4th, the now junior, left me speechless with her ability to shoot the long ball back then. She’s heady and understands how to get hers in the flow yet before you know it, she has double digits. I love progression and she’s added not only a nice stop and pop from midrange but she takes defenders off the dribble nicely and finishes with contact
Sydney Ward is one of the top 2022 players in the country, they’ll catch up later but she’s around the magic number of 6’0 and is a nightmare to defend because she’s ultra athletic and can score just about every way imaginable. Her first step can be devastating, she finishes with contact. like players hanging on her and reads that defense well too
Hot off the press, RyLee Grays is an incoming freshman, haven’t seen her in 2 years but I wrote this about her. “Riley Grays is around 6’2, well she definitely is with her wingspan and trust me, she’s already coordinated, she’s athletic, rebounds on both ends, runs the floor, blocks and (or) alters shots and the biggest thing is that she will only get better because I see the passion every time he steps on the court” so with that being said, I already said it
