Hazley Grotjohn of Fort Smith Northside is ranked #20 in the state according to AR Prep Girls Hoops, but she–for whatever reason–has very few offers. According to her social media, NAIA Mission University is the most recent school to extend an offer to her. Grotjohn has the skillset to contribute at a higher level of collegiate basketball, and she has the potential to blossom into a star.

Grotjohn’s offense is probably her strongest all-around skill. She drives hard with her off-hand and can finish over taller defenders. She has a strong 3-point shot, but she seems to prefer shooting from well behind the arch. Those few extra feet of distance do not hamper her shot, and defenses should make it a priority to tightly guard her as soon as she steps across the half-court line. Plus, she seems to know where her teammates are at all times, and delivers some nice passes.

Grotjohn’s defense is also superb, especially when causing turnovers. She collects steals like Thanos collects infinity stones. She will steal it from you as soon as you come down with a rebound. She will steal it from you when you are being doubled. She will steal it from you off your dribble. And she will steal it off your pass. As a part of the Arkansas Mavs in the Adidas Championships recently, it seemed as if Grotjohn stole the ball 6 or 7 times. I think I counted 5 from one game!

Hazley Grotjohn is a legitimate two-way threat. Her long-range shooting stretches the floor out for the rest of her team, and her suffocating on-ball defense is enough to drive opposing coaches up the wall. Grotjohn is highly accomplished as a basketball player when you add the 1,000-point milestone she achieved this past season. Now she needs colleges to come calling.
