Continue ReadingI got a chance to watch some high level 2022 talent through the June period. There were many girls that played well and earned the respect of the recruiters. The girls mentioned in this article are prospects at the lower levels. They show the ability to contribute at a high level for their school teams.
- Alyssa Cole Alyssa Cole 5'9" | SF Nashville | 2022 State IL Is a 5’9 Wing from Nashville and was playing for the Saints select club. Alyssa is a powerful player that can dominate games offensively. She had good moves and is very active in the lane and has developed her outside shot over the past two years. She will rebound and defend wherever you need her.
- Elle Evans Elle Evans 6'2" | SF Edwardsville | 2022 State IL is a 6’1 Guard from Edwardsville and Blue Star Silvey. Elle is very long and thin with a very good basketball IQ. She has played for very good coaches that have taught her the right way to play the game. Elle uses this to give her flexibility on the court and to allow the game to come to her. She has the ability to put the ball in the basket and works best in a catch and shoot either a cut to the basket or via getting set for a jump shot anywhere on the floor.
- Mia Nicastro Mia Nicastro 6'1" | SG St. Charles West | 2022 State MO is a 6’0 Wing from St Charles West and Blue Star Silvey. Mia is a very strong wing that can can play a physical style at both the 3 and 4 positions. She can get downhill and score in the lane. Mia can play very well in the open court. She averaged over 16 points per game during the high school season and is a definite prospect to be watched at the D1/D2 level.
- Kate Littleton Kate Littleton 5'6" | CG Paris | 2022 State IL is a 5’6 Guard from Paris and Indiana Elite Havoc. Kate really found her range on her 3-point shit this last weekend. She was needed to step up with a key player missing and she capitalized on the opportunity. Kate can also drive when the chance is there and will defend well. Look for Kate to have a big season at Paris and attract high level D3/NAIA/JC attention.
- Madyson Rigdon Madyson Rigdon 5'8" | CG Paris | 2022 State IL is a 5’8 Guard from Paris and Indiana Elite Havoc. Madyson is a long and wiry guard that can really defend at a top level and can score the ball in a variety of ways. She also picked up her game another notch with the top scorer on a vacation and helped lead the team to a great weekend. Madyson will also step into the spot light at Paris next year and a leader on the stats sheet and in the locker room.
- Emily Schnitker is a 5’7 Guard from Nashville that was playing for the Saints select club. Emily is a nice shooter that can hit the 3-point shot when given space. She has some toughness and grit that she displays when she battles on defense and on the boards.
- Anna Finley Anna Finley 5'6" | CG Owensville | 2022 State MO is a 5’7 Guard from Owensville, Mo and Blue Star Silvey. This my first time in seeing Anna and I really enjoyed it. Anna plays hard and seems to have a knack for always being near the ball. She hustled to many loose balls is strong enough to secure them. She seems to have a pass first mentality as she will push the ball up the floor with her dribble and her head up looking to set up one of her teammates.
- Macy Silvey Macy Silvey 5'9" | CG Edwardsville | 2022 State IL is a 5’9 Guard from Edwardsville and Blue Star Silvey. Macy is a nice combo guard that can run the point or play more of a scoring role at the 2. She sees the game well and plays good defense. When Macy has her shot in a groove she is one of the better shooters in the area.
- Halle Rueter is a 5’8 Guard from Nashville that played with the Saints select club. Halle can play the combo guard spot where she will use ball handling to run the point but also likes to use her shooting skills to help the team. Halle has a nice outside shot and likes to find a way to create space to shoot those shots.
There is a nice pool of talent in this article that will lead to some valuable scholarship offers. This group consists of a mix of D2 prospects down to NAIA/ D3 and JC. Coaches should certainly be tracking these girls.
