Each player has developed at different rates and continue to morph and change their games, but one thing that cannot be denied is the size. There are 4 girls in the 2020 class that will undoubtedly play basketball at the high major level. 3 of the girls below remain uncommitted, but decision time is quickly approaching these student-athletes.
4 high major posts in 2020:
2020 6’2 PF Jordyn Jenkins (Kentridge HS, Tree of Hope) – An absolute force at the high school level with her mixture of power, finesse and skill. Jenkins has established herself as one of the premier forwards in the region, regardless of class. High majors from around the country are recruiting her and she will be a top priority for UW. They will work heavily to keep her home, but schools from the Big 12 and ACC, plus more are also looming.
2020 6’3 P Keeli Burton-Oliver (Eastlake HS, NW Blazers) – Keeli put together one of the best winters out of any post in Washington. She really hit her stride in the second half of the season, dominating the rebounds and scoring inside and out at times. She gave her pledge to Arizona State University last year and has not wavered on her commitment. After a strong season from ASU, they have only helped their stock with top recruits like Burton-Oliver.
2020 6’4 F/C Dalayah Daniels (Garfield HS, Tree of Hope) – Dalayah brings the most versatile defensive potential at the high major level. She has the lateral foot speed to keep many guards in front and there are not many posts that can get a step on her. She has very long arms and she’s a quick leaper, which allows for her to get 5 plus blocks in a single game. Oregon’s Head Coach, Kelly Graves, has recruited her hard for multiple years now and a plethora of other top 25 schools are vying for her services.
2020 6’8 C Sela Heide (Mt. Si HS, Tree of Hope) – The tallest player in Washington will be new to the shoe circuit in her final club season. Sela is a developing post player that will only continue to get better with more playing experience. She can really alter shots due to her length and she is a strong put back threat on offense. Texas Tech was reportedly the first to offer, but she has an entire spring and summer to play out before making a decision, if she so chooses. Both of her parents played at Oregon State University, which is known for loving the tallest posts they can find.
