Continue ReadingI caught so many next-level players including several I have already dropped the #D1Lock tag on, I can do that because one more time, #ThereIsNoMe and since I’ve been dropping that as well as next-level potential, I have the knowledge to evaluate players, not on the now, but on the then before the social media explosion of countless no it alls that know absolutely nothing. What I do know is talent, it doesn’t take me but a couple of minutes to know what I’m looking at so my advice t all is to go hard no matter what the score is because you never know if someone that’s credible is watching, again I’m talking about me and these group left a lasting impression

Adarra Vanderford
Vanderford had me smiling from start to finish because of her size, she’s around the magic number which is 6’0 and she’s mobile as well as agile plus her inside presence. She uses her body well in the paint, she showed nice “hands and footwork”, let me drop #THROWBACK on that alone and she finished around the basket as well as on putbacks, yes she rebounds on both ends. She also scored with either hand, a huge plus, and not only did she run the floor, on both ends, she also scored off the dribble as well as defended in the paint
Kyana Lacour
Lacour mixed it up nicely yet in the flow and I guess her body control was one of the most impressive things she showed me. Why, because she scored off the dribble and did it against older, taller, and stronger players, so contact was irrelevant. She also dropped the midrange consistently, which in itself is a lost art and when you factor in her hard-nosed defense as well as diving for loose balls, her upside is very nice
Sophia Bowie
Bowie handled the ball so well under pressure that her ability to see the floor simply stood out. She threaded the needle for countless assist opportunities yet she also showed she understood how to control the tempo, at this stage, that’s HUGE. She’s heady, and plays within herself which means she doesn’t force things, well she actually forced the defender to commit because she dropped the jumper yet if she was guarded too tightly, she attacked the basket. Speaking of defenders, she played solid defense

Chloe Davis Chloe Davis 5'3" | PG Lake Dallas | 2030 TX
Davis was mesmerizing in pre-game shooting as her dazzling ball-handling got me going. Her upside is scary, yeah she’s a small guard yet she’s also in the 6th grade and her poise under pressure against the “big girls” told me a lot without her even scoring. Then she scored multiple ways off the dribble, her body control is ahead of her years but so is her court vision. Her midrange was nice, she even applied heat defensively
