Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2792060, member: 6620"] Mark Lewis of Blue Star Media does an "after the fact" write-up on the DC event. Most of his write-up pertains to 2019-20 prospects but there are a few 2021 but feel free to go through the link. [URL="https://www.bluestarmedia.org/dc-31st-annual-usjn-national-championship/"]"DC" - 31st Annual USJN National Championship - Bluestar Media[/URL] There are a few thumbnails that caught my eye for various reasons, ranging from being on a top player to recent posts on this board to the Irish factor ;) (I put a comment or so in parenthesis on a few.) [B]Rickea Jackson – 2019 – 6-3 – Wing / Forward – Sports City U[/B]– Without peer in D.C…Took over multiple games in multiple ways…Impact player on both ends…Not just what she does but how she does it…Can defend any spot on the floor in any scheme…Attacks the boards with a vengeance…Focus is there regardless of score…Elite among the elite (Still scratching my head as to how she's not in Belarus, given Carla's preference for rangy wings.) [B]Kateri Poole – 2020 – 5-9 – Point Guard – New heights NYC[/B]– Highly regarded…Physically strong and assertive with the ball…Explosiveness off the move…Change of speed is exceptional…Initiates contact to keep defenders off balance…Gets to the rim…Smooth touch with time…Consistency will keep closeouts honest [B]Madeline Westbeld – 2020 – 6-2 – Wing – Angels Basketball Club[/B]– Added size and strength…Slow start but strong finish…Mixes her attack more efficiently…Range and touch open up penetration options…Can score in streaks…Challenging match up decision for opposition…Turnovers need to be reeled in at times. (Scroll down the linked article and you'll see a picture of her...no, that's not Kat Westbeld, her older sister. The apple does not fall far from the tree...:)) [/QUOTE]
