Continue ReadingMy first Skills Pays Bills event was a blast for me because it gave me a look at some players I haven’t seen before as well as some I knew about but one more time, there is no me, I look for certain things and progression is definitely one of them I also saw some players that will e added to the 2024 Watch List as well as 2025 young lady, Vivian Franklin Vivian Franklin 5'8" | SG Greenhill School | 2025 State TX who I’m going to go ahead and call her a #D1Lock right now, archive that but here are the players
Priscilla Diaz-5’0 PG
Diaz sees the floor, has good range and a nice pull-up, this was part of it but after the bright lights came on, she turned it on with numerous “thread the needle” passes on the money and with her playing under control and within herself, that was solid and more time #sizedontmatter when you can play
Stacey Williams-5’1 PG
Williams is on The Gram showing off her dribbling skills so I had to capture that yet her explosiveness is something I didn’t other than embedded in my head. You have fast and fast with the ball, she’s the latter and her first step is something. Sees the floor, elevates on the jumper, and can simply go
Taja Bennett-5’7 G
Bennet is long and athletic and that is the base I talk about over and over so I’ll definitely be watching her progression along the way but she gets it now, understands how and when to take defenders, does a good job defending and rebounding but I’m digging her upside
Neenah George Neenah George 5'8" | PG Sasche | 2024 State TX -5’6 G
George has been featured on one of my Tip Sheets before, this was a couple of years ago but it should show you what a genius I am. I didn’t even realize it was her, she attacked relentlessly and also showed mid to long-range as well as handling the ball under control. With her mindset, no telling how high she will go
DaNae Crosby-5’7 G
Crosby had Stills, Nash, and Young but this Crosby had steals and a solid pull-up jumper not to mention she attacked the basket and finished with contact. Defended well, plays the passing lane, and thinks the game, these are intangibles that are good the have and she’s Young
Chloe Mann Chloe Mann 5'8" | SG Duncanville | 2024 State TX -5’8 G
Mann was left of the 2024 Watch List, for some reason she didn’t transfer over on my spreadsheet but she’s going elevate over a lot of players on that list like she elevated over players with her jumper as attacking the basket and scoring acrobatically. She also brings plenty of heat on the defensive end, I’m talking about full court
Jamayia Miles-5’2 PG
Miles was one of many young #sizedontmatter guards that just brought IT. She attacks strongly and more importantly, under control and showed she could finish after contact. She also created her shot under pressure with a deceptive first step and shot the long ball well
2025
Vivian Franklin Vivian Franklin 5'8" | SG Greenhill School | 2025 State TX -5’4 G
Franklin is another face I’m a hindered percent sure is a #D1LOck in fact I’m ready to go a step further but playing up against players with poise, not afraid and going right at them are things you cannot teach and things that sell me but her seeing the floor, a first step from another dimension and making things happen in the open court all were awesome plus she has a jumper
