Expert Analysis
Jeremy Brooks | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Lauren Harkins might be the most complete overall guard that this Class has right now. That is to be determined over the next few years but in the meantime, she is going to come onto the Varsity floor and cause some havoc this Winter. She is someone that her team is going to be able to trust to be there when they need her, she is diverse within her scoring ability all over the court, and she is scrappy on defense. That’s not always enough to compete at a high rate at the 5A level but we will see. She has been nails over her high school career so she just needs to build onto that once she hits the Varsity floor in a few short months.

I fully expect the youth of Waukee High School to lead the way this Winter for their season. They will have a few deep Classes and their Freshman Class coming in is just as good. The best player from this group right off the bat will be Lauren Harkins. Harkins is a crafty CG, that can lead your team in scoring while also being a better than average facilitator, rebounder, and defender as a whole. She comes in at average size but her skill speaks for itself. This is someone that is going to be in the conversation for the #1 prospect for the 2030 Class moving into the month of December. If she can be the player she has been on the travel floor the last couple of seasons, she will be someone we talk about several times throughout the Winter as we move towards the Playoffs.

If you don’t know the name Lauren Harkins already, you should learn it because she is going to be someone we mention a lot over the next 4 years at the high school level at Waukee. The best part about Harkins is that she is a complete guard. She can basically do it all for you at the CG position. She likes to attack from the outside more than anything but she can also use her body near the bucket for some easy points. Her understanding of situations, her touch on the ball, and her ability to adapt in the blink of an eye makes her impossible to stop once she gets within 10 feet of the hoop on the side of the things. If Waukee can bring their team together this upcoming season and get one goal in mind they could make some things happen over the next couple of seasons.
