Over time, things changed a little bit and other athletes came into their own but that doesn’t change the fact that Houston is an Iowa commit and one heck of a ball player.

During Nike Nationals a few years ago, she was cutting to the hoop in transition for easy buckets, she was hitting open shots at the rim over smaller defenders, and she was even stepping out to hit her patented step-back three pointer over anyone who wanted it.

We are still somewhat a good distance from all that but it is something to pounder while looking forward.

The only reason that Journey Houston Journey Houston 5'11" | CG Davenport North | 2025 State IA didn’t fall into the Top 10 for me in this is because she has been injured for the past year and I haven’t seen her compete live in over a year because of that.
