About Cecelia
Expert Analysis
Joshua Ebrahim | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Arico can score from all three levels. Can play an inside/outside game in that style of play and is confident. Arico excelled at running the floor in transition, testing her range, and playing the point. Has good balance and control of the ball, which allows her to find lanes to the basket. She used her defense to create offense for easy buckets. Brings intensity and lockdown capabilities.

Arico plays with such control- pretty moves while taking the ball to the bucket! She has a calmness to her game, and it shows on both ends of the ball. Plays under control, protects the rock and lays it in! And she’s money from the line! (Below with ball)

Arico has always been a top notch talent, but she took it to a different level this summer. To the point that with her and Savoury at the top, we could be talking about the best 1-2 in the history of the state. Best thing is, I think Arico is going to continue to improve at a high arc.

Arico received an offer from the the defending national champion, University of South Carolina. Not to mention a Marquette offer as well. There’s more, but we’ll stop there for now. If you saw her at the Nike Nationals, you know why this is such a smart offer. Arico isn’t just a top 75 talent in the country, it also kind of feels like she’s just at the beginning of her curve. In my humble opinion, Arico could end up a top 25 player.

Arico is a special type of athlete and a prospect that’s on the rise on a national scale. She’s explosive in a variety of ways and on both ends of the floor. Arico can hit a dime with her passes and can score from anywhere, and is actually excellent in a busy lane. She uses her length on D to deflect passes and cause chaos.

Arico is a high-IQ player who competes at a high level. She draws multiple defenders and always makes the right read. She has incredible body control and footwork once she gets in the lane. She was jumping passing lanes and coming up with deflections and steals all weekend.

Arico is one of the most talented prospects in the midwest. This film shows her ability to pass with precision and defend. Arico throws a couple of touch passes over the top and also angles a bounce pass on the baseline to pick up an assist. Defensively, you can see her create turnovers with ball pressure as well as step in and take a charge. Arico can be seen scoring in traffic at the rim as well.

Arico is an elite talent on a national level. There are a lot of aspects of her game that I could point out from her weekend with the Sports City Angels, but her ability to see the game and pass in the open floor is getting a lot of run. Arico is an athletic passer that can find her teammates in stride in the open floor.
