The upside potential of Sophie Bird Sophie Bird 5'10" | CG Grand View Christian | 2029 State IA is very interesting. If you break down Bird’s actual game, piece-by-piece, she has a lot of skill as an offensive threat with the rock in her hands and she has great size to pair along with that at 5’10/5’11. Bird was one of the best PG’s for her Class level throughout the state of Iowa the last six months while competing with GVC High School. Bird is going to be paired with some special talents around her on the AAU circuit for the next few months. If everyone plays their role, they should thrive but we will see!

Whenever you have a player on the women’s side over 5’10 and they are athletic with the ability to pass, then you have someone that is not only going to be a known producer on the Varsity floor during High School but they will also have a chance for their game to translate to the collegiate level at the end of the day. That is what we have here with Sophie Bird Sophie Bird 5'10" | CG Grand View Christian | 2029 State IA of Grand View Christian. Bird is listed as a CG but with how well she sets up everyone else, she could move over to the PG spot and facilitate if need be within her team’s offense. She is a stable rebounder on both sides of the ball, she defends well, and she leads by example. When you take those three things and pair them with her size, ability, and knowledge of the game – it makes sense as to why she killed it as a Freshman this last few months. She finished off her year averaging 12.9 PPG, 5.5 RPG, and 5.6 APG, while only turning the ball over once per contest. That ranks her as one of the highest assist-to-turnover ratio players throughout the entire state of Iowa, no matter the age or Class level. Which is very impressive. Now she just needs to build on that foundation moving into this Spring!
