Every week, I learn a hand full of new players. Either from events, word of mouth, or social media. And, what a great took Social media has become, for players to get their info out there and gain exposure.
McKel Nation is a six-foot-one post, residing from Springboro HS, in Southwest Ohio. A 2020 prospect to note, for D2 coaches. Talented to say the least, Nation works with a motor, that benefits her game on both ends of the court. Picking up a recent offer from Urbana, after a good last few months with her Ohio Elite team.
McKel Nation is a versatile prospect, playing a lot of post. But, stretches the floor as well, and can guard the perimeter if needed.
A smart player carrying a 3.0 GPA, that translates to the court well for her. Nation is a strong rebounder, and has good reaction time on blocking shots. Moves well, and closes out too.
Interview:
McKel highlighted she believes in herself as a hard worker that gets up and down the court. Also, believes in her shot, and is a strong rebounder.
Nation has parts of her game that she noted that she wants to improve. Controlling her foul numbers, bringing that down. Playing a more controlled game, to say. Also, stepping it up on defense, although she is a steady shot blocker.
At the college level, education means a lot to McKel, she’s looking for that small class setting. Wants to be able to connect 1-on-1 with professors, to better learn. Staying home would be ideal she said, to often visit her family. Nursing is the career path that she plans to take, as well.
Her senior season, she wants to be one to remember. To connect with her teammates, get better and make memories with her teammates and coaches.
What’s next:
McKel has one last go around with Springboro this winter, and will lead them as far as they can go. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple more D2’s pull the trigger, as her game would fit well at that level.
