Today, I’ll be briefly discussing some of the players I liked from attending open practices over the last couple of weeks.
Red Mountain
Red Mountain has a hidden gem of a player if I’ve ever seen one. Cassidy Duncan is one of the lesser known prospects in the 2020 class. I believe that she is capable of playing D2 ball right now. She is very smart and can shoot the lights out.
Perry
Perry has some of the top talent but their role players are also quite intriguing. Grace Oken and Nicole Smith are two very interesting guard prospects in the 2021 class. Both are players I would consider being under the radar. Both are good shooters and can play make.
Westwood
Westwood has a lot of little guards and they play fast and live and die by the 3. This makes for some entertaining basketball, I love that run and gun style. They won 20+ games last season, so I am interested in seeing what they do this year.
Bella Vista Prep
Bella Vista’s practice was pretty eye opening for me. I had no idea that we had this program riddled with great international talent in our own backyard. Who knew?! BV has some really really impressive prospects that I was completely unaware of until now. They will definitely be making a big impression on the rankings update coming this month.
Millennium
I stopped by Millennium’s practice to see how Ali Zelaya was coming along with her injury. Of course, Millennium has a ton of talent but Zelaya was my top priority that night. She looks good! She was running around and hitting mid-range jumpers like no one’s business! Very excited for her to get back on the court and lead this team!
Schools I plan to visit next: Poston Butte, Copper Canyon, ALA-Queen Creek, Casteel
