We first got our eyes on Duello last Spring in a showcase in Cedar Rapids. She came in and was one of the most sound players in the gym. I’m glad to report back that over her last 8th grade season of ball she has made great progressions while still being someone that plays the game fundamentally more than anything else. This is another guard that can GO. When she see’s a shot fall and she has that confidence, she is tough to stop, no doubt about that. Her work ethic is something else to point out. Duello puts in that work in her off-time. She is a gym rat and she loves the game of Basketball for what it is, which is a refreshing thing to see in today’s game.

Georgie Duello Georgie Duello 5'8" | CG Linnmar Marion | 2030 IA was a younger prospect in the building but she held her own in most facets of competition. Duello has a solid mixture of size, touch, awareness, and coordinated balance. She is crafty with how she can attack her defender, always having a counter-move or two up her sleeve. Over the next few years, this is a player that will make a difference at Linn-Mar High School in Cedar Rapids. Especially if she continues to get better with age and experience.

Georgie Duello Georgie Duello 5'8" | CG Linnmar Marion | 2030 IA was someone else that came out of nowhere today and I’m glad she did. Duello was one of the smartest and most complete players that I had the chance of evaluating. She is coordinated going either direction off the dribble, she has several counter-moves to hit her opponent with if she is cut off, she can step out and hit three point shots when tightly contested, and she is one of the first on the floor for a loose ball when those opportunities present themselves – which all coaches love to see! Duello might not be one that stands out by her size or crazy athletic ability but overall, she is very complete in this game with a lot of promise.
