Lydia was outstanding when I watched Sequoyah this Summer playing off the very talented Carly Bass Carly Bass 6'0" | SG Sequoyah | 2027 State GA and the rest of her talented teammates. Rogers effected the games in a very positive way without many, if any, plays being called for her to score. Rogers did damage when she did receive the ball however on the wing and the block. Rogers is a smooth and sneaky operator in the post. She has very good footwork and utilized head/shot fakes to up and under defenders. If they chose to run plays for Lydia posting up with her back to the basket I think she would have no trouble scoring. She shot the ball at a high percentage from the outside as well making her a legit inside-out threat to score on offense. Lydia I thought was even better at the Prep Girls Hoops Georgia Expo earlier this month. Rogers’ game and confidence seem to be coming around and together at the same time and the right time for the junior and her Sequoyah teammates who have a chance to win it all.

Lydia is a player I had seen small chunks of in person, but Carly Bass Carly Bass 6'0" | SG Sequoyah | 2027 State GA is usually the one doing the damage for Sequoyah in those games. I knew she was a good player going in but walking out of Lakepoint I thought to myself that Lydia was one of the most skilled and versatile players at the showcase. Whether she was smoothly knocking down shots from outside or finishing at the rim with her dominant left hand, Rogers made plays on both ends all day long. She has excellent size which allows her to be a very good stretch four prospect for colleges in Georgia with the skills of a guard to go with it. She plays the game with a very high IQ and the right way, never forcing shots or trying to do too much. Instead, Lydia was efficient and very effective picking her spots to attack and then putting the ball in the basket. She is one of the more underrated players in Georgia, but I don’t think that will last much longer. I was very impressed with her overall game.
