Continue ReadingWith the AAU season all but wiped out for at least the first part of the spring, prospects and college coaches are lying in wait until they can get back in the gym. Here’s a look at prospects who will be impacted the shutdown and players who programs should flock to when it’s time to resume action…
Macey Blevins Macey Blevins 5'11" | SG Wayne County | 2021 State KY , Wayne County – One of the state’s most valuable players to their high school team, Macey is coming off a very strong Junior season. She has a lot of low and mid major offers already but a strong AAU season could have catapult her stock to elevate her to a high major recruit.
Marissa Gasaway Marissa Gasaway 6'0" | PF Silver Creek | 2021 State IN , Eastern – Marissa is an uber talented player who suffered through a 6-24 high school season this year despite impressive individual stats. Gasaway needs the AAU season to impress college coaches who won’t necessarily make the trip to watch the Lady Eagles.
Elise Ellison-Coons Elise Ellison-Coons 5'10" | SF Dunbar | 2021 State KY , Dunbar – One of the breakout stars of this season, Elise has a lot of momentum heading into the recruiting season that is now postponed indefinitely. Her improved perimeter shooting and a big platform on the Girls Under Armour Association would likely have landed the talented forward multiple D1 offers.
Alexa Smiddy Alexa Smiddy 5'5" | PG Southwestern | 2021 State KY , Southwestern – One of the best pure point guards in the class, Smiddy was primed for a big travel ball season that’s is currently on hold. Already known as a winner thanks to her success at Southwestern, Alexa had a good chance to impress coaches with her ball handling and court vision.
Ella Thompson Ella Thompson 6'0" | PF Bethlehem | 2021 State KY , Bethlehem – One of the best all around “small school” prospects in the last couple of years, Thompson had a big statistical season for the Banshees and was looking to parlay that into some offers this season. Now she’ll have to wait and hope AAU happens this summer.
Kaeli Ross Kaeli Ross 5'7" | SG Russell | 2021 State KY , Russell – A popular recruit with colleges at the NAIA and D2 levels, Ross is the type of prospect that could ride the momentum of the summer into some low major D1 offers. Her ability to score at all three levels is a coveted skill.
Braylee McMath Braylee McMath 5'6" | PG Great Crossing | 2021 State KY , Great Crossing – One of the best shooters in the class, McMath had a great season in the inaugural year for the Warhawks. Coming off a season where she put up shooting splits of 47/37/80, Braylee would likely have the chance to earn multiple offers this year.
Sydney Lockard Sydney Lockard 5'6" | PG Dixie Heights | 2021 State KY , Dixie Heights – The point guard has some NAIA offers already and could get even more prestigious offers with a big AAU season. She’s shown that she can score when she averaged nearly 15 points per game this year and would benefit from not being the focus of the defense in AAU like she is in high school.
