About Sydney
Expert Analysis
Jim Dabbelt | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Another state final four athlete, she has been near the top of the rankings since she’s first stepped onto the floor as a freshman. Ferguson can play back to the basket or knock down the perimeter jumper. Long athletic kid who has a lot of upside in her game, does a nice job defensively and protects the passing lanes with a great wingspan.

Sydney has an incredibly high ceiling- and there’s going to be a day where we’ll be watching her on ESPN! Her agility, how she can catch and shoot the three, and her footwork down low is crazy good now- it’s frightening to think what it will be like by the time she’s a senior!

Sydney, who earned MVP of the game honors, has not only elevated her inside presence around the paint- but her shooting from 3 point land is looking good, real good! I’ve always been impressed with Ferguson’s footwork and how she can score the ball multiple ways. She’s so fundamentally sound, and such a deadly defender/ blocker! Special, elite baller!

The college offers are coming in- and for great reasons! Ferguson’s size, footwork, and how she owns anything in or around the paint is magnificent! Sydney’s drop step has its own zip code! A double double nightmare to guard! (Below in green uniform)

Wow. This diaper dandy already has the makings of a college body, to go along with incredible athleticism, poise, and skill. Fundamentally next level with footwork, delivery on offense, and physicality. Grab some popcorn and enjoy watching Fergerson- Super high ceiling! (Below with ball, Featured Photo)
