-6’3 PF Cy Fair Elite 17U Warren (Moore HS)
Moore made an immediate impact when I caught her initially in middle school and trust me, it won’t take her long when she steps on the floor for Texas. She’s a polished scorer both inside the paint and facing the basket yet she is a terror on the boards , both ends of the court not to leave out she defends well
Kendra Gillispie Kendra Gillispie 6'2" | PF Harding Charter | 2021 State #70 Nation OK -6’2 PF Lady Jets Randle Adidas (Oklahoma)
Gillespie is one I’d hide players that was very good at doing certain things early, like scoring in the paint, yet watching her handle the ball in the open court, under pressure and hitting teammates in the money has me smiling for a number of reasons because she’s doing what she does at her size and that’s even more impressive showing she can definitely play 3 positions in college. Oh yeah,Maher jumper is fluid and consistent and her mindset is “you can’t stop me”
2022
Taleyah Jones Taleyah Jones 5'8" | CG Broken Arrow | 2022 State OK 5’8 SG OK Federal Ballerz (Broken Arrow HS)
Jones caught my eye as I was floating around the Fieldhouse and watching her long and athletic body maneuvering through traffic with ease yet her ability to see the floor and make tight passes combined with attacking the rim and finishing after contact kept my attention
Mikayla Parks Mikayla Parks 5'8" | SG Norman | 2022 State OK -5’8 SG- Team Lex Tar Heels (Norman HS)
Parks has always shown she can score multiple ways, off the dribble, the pull-up is hard to handle but so is the catch and shoot and I’m talking mid to long-range yet watching her create her shot under pressure as well as handling the ball under that same pressure was nice, very nice
Sydni Smith-6’2 PF/C Pro Skills 16U Black
Smith made several of Tip Sheets when she caught my eye with Team Pink years ago and watching what she has continued to become is no surprise to me because she all ways was fierce. Her ability and athleticism allows her to attack and finish with players hanging on her, she rebounds and defends well but always did
Alexsyah Goodeau- 5’9 PG/SG Shock 2022 3SSB (Talequah Seqoyah HS)
Goodeau left me speechless at The Blueprint yet I see she’s continued to build as she toyed with several triple doubles against some of the top teams in the event showing she’s a legitimate D1 player but her range, mid to long, as well as her ability to play the passing lane ,mwhich often leads to baskets, just jumps out at you and the kid the call Smalls continues to play BIG
2023
Raven Jackson Raven Jackson 5'8" | CG Choctaw | 2023 State OK -5’6 SG BTR UAA (Choctaw HS)
Jackson has shown me something different each time I’ve seen her but her athleticism and ability to attack the basket are among her many pluses. She creates her shot well, under pressure and can not only handle the ball but see the floor
