Expert Analysis
Jim Dabbelt | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
They call her Peanut, and this point guard has got an incredible all-around game. Quick super and athletic, she is in position to take over a game at any time. One thing I like about her is she’s very resilient, plays tough and strong, made the move up to Spire and when she teams up with Hall, it makes them very difficult to beat. Cradle will be heading to Louisville next year, but in this mythical battle with our neighbors from the west, she would put people on notice!

The future Louisville Cardinal guard is no stranger to scoring or beating defenders off the dribble! She’s been doing this at a high level for years, with light feet and explosive delivery! Cradle is one of the best that attacks gaps, and her defense and ability to pick pockets changes the momentum of the game! (Below with ball)

Cradle “Peanut”, the four-star prospect and University of Louisville commit, has been playing like Superman with a cape on her back for as long as I can remember! She can take over a game with such ease with her defense, dribble through presses, and my oh my can she put on a show! KFC Yum! Center will be rocking next fall with Peanut!

An absolute menace this afternoon vs United NJ. With college coaches looking on from UCLA, South Carolina, Baylor, Tennessee, etc., she showed exactly why she may just be one of the best players in the entire field. Electric in the back court; thrived pushing the pace. High-level finisher at the rim on some acrobatic layups. Confident pull-up 3-pointer. She played with so much poise and swagger and truly made it look easy out there.

One of the most electric athletes in Ohio, Peanut is in control with the basketball in her hands. Great handles and court vision to get everyone involved. She also pushes tempo and can fly coast to coast! Plays with a great swag and her defense is also strong, forcing mistakes. She averaged close to 19 points per game.

When you have someone with astounding skills like Cradle (aka Peanut), she will take over a game, regardless of being face guarded or double teamed. Peanut’s dribble penetration, handles, and splitting the defense is dazzling! Her athleticism is a whole different level. (Featured Photo)

You can tell a lot by a player’s character when the game isn’t going the way you want it to go. Westerville South had a tough game against a very deep and talented Crestwood Prep; however, Cradle continued on, pressured the ball defensively, showing leadership, and never eased up her game!

She is the state’s top junior and put that on display. Peanut plays the game with a lot of poise, has very slick handles and can blast by her defender and score at the rim. Defensively she is a very solid player and a difference maker. Can go anywhere she wants, a level above most in Ohio.
