Zoey is a young player I first saw when she was entering middle school or a little before playing for David Kent at an Insider Exposure event. She was easily the best player on that team (probably playing up) and she was a kid who was identified early as a potential blue chip recruit from North Carolina. That trend has held true as she, before entering high school, has received offers from Morehead State, App. State, Elon, East Carolina, Liberty, and other schools. It was easy to see why after to watching her lead Team KMA Kent ’28 to an undefeated 3-0 record at the Select Super Showcase. As the lead guard she did a very good job getting her team into the sets called from the bench and getting her teammates into the flow and rhythm on offense. Zoey is a long 5’7 and she used her wingspan to make good post entry passes and hitting her shooters in between their shoulders and waist as well as elevating over her defender and knock down shots herself from behind the three point line and the midrange. Cochran did a nice job keeping her head up on the break and getting the ball ahead for easy scoring opportunities. Defensively, she used her size and reach to apply pressure on the ball and cause deflections and steals in the passing lane. Playing two years up against good teams like Cap City will only continue to help her growth int he game. She has a very bright future ahead and plenty of time continue to work hard on her all around and get better in the next four years. She has the potential to be Power Four in time with continued development.

Playmaking guard that can score at all three levels. Excellent passer for a 2030 guard. She has a great feel for the game at an early age and is already drawing attention from high level coaches. She attacks the basket and uses different angles to finish the shot. She can also shoot it from deep.
