Continue ReadingThis past weekend, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a one of kind… combine-esque event held at Mt Carmel High School. The “Premiere Prospect” event was sponsored by Eastbay, Wilson Basketball, Gatorade, and CRTSIDE. These sponsorships gave the 4-hour showcase a “professional” atmosphere from the front door. As the girls walked in they were welcomed with combine jerseys, towels, a photoshoot area, and also the feeling of professional cameramen highlighting their every move. #FUTUREISFEMALE
The girls went through a series of combine-like drills; Lane Agility, Standing & Max Vert, and the 3/4 sprint. Chicago’s top trainers, coaches, and even PGH Illinois’s #1 ranked 2022 Guard and Texas A&M commit Brianna McDaniel Brianna McDaniel 5'10" | CG Kenwood | 2022 State #13 Nation IL was there to guide, support, and improve the skill set of these athletes. Each drill was prepared to showcase the entirety of their game. The 3/4 sprint & Lane Agility drill was the test of speed, cuts, stops and shuffling. The Standing and Max Vertical test were there to measure athleticism. All four drills showed off the unique offensive and defensive talents that each of these prospects possesses. After all the drills were completed, the real show began. A 5 minute “Queen of the Hill” 1v1 challenge and lastly 5 on 5. From start to finish…they got after it. Whether it was finishing top 3 in the drills, winning the 1v1, or putting it all together for the 5 on 5.. each prospect showed who they were and exactly why they received that invitation.
