Bob Corwin scouting on recent She Got Game Classic:


Lauren Betts, 6-7, center, Grandview High School (CO)

Betts can already “fill in the blanks” as to college choice, rightfully being rated one of the very top prospects nationally in the 2022 class. She runs well, is a monster defensive presence in the key, has improved her finish around the basket and is one of her team’s better passers. She was one of the top performers at Mansfield with her team going undefeated.



 
Rayah Marshall, Lynwood

The junior point guard is a matchup nightmare for every foe: A phenomenally talented player with a never-ending skill set who creates, scores, rebounds and starts the transition better than, well, everyone else on the floor. Oh, and she’s closing in on 6-foot-4. Marshall was an All-CIF Southern Section pick and the Press-Telegram’s Dream Team Player of the Year last year after pouring in 20.6 points and grabbing 12 boards a game. Head coach Ellis Barfield calls her an “old-school player,” one possessing off-the-charts drive and versatility. And, on occasion, she dunks. She might be the best player in Southern California. Every big-time program, from Connecticut to Stanford, is angling for her signature.

Marshall is growing and Barker is shrinking?
 
Saylor Poffenbarger had 23 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and 4 blocks on Friday (12/13).
Is her brother Reese Poffenbarger? If so, he's a 2020 QB recruit that I think our football coaches are taking a peak at.
 
Talia Von Oelhoffen ('21) scored 41 points Saturday night (12/14) on 15-22 FG, 6-8 3-PT, 5-5 FT).

Jillian Hollingshead ('21) had 21 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday.

Saniya Rivers ('21) totaled 37 points, 19 rebounds, and 8 steals on Friday (12/13).

Londynn Jones ('22) had 41 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals last Wednesday (12/11).

I believe Awak Kuier will be going straight to the WNBA per something she posted on her Instagram.

“18-year-old basketball super-promise Awak Kuier made a surprise decision and rejected the university basketball because of the WNBA dream - heading towards Central European professional fields One of Finland's most promising athletes, 18-year-old Awak Kuier will leave after this season. The decision will allow her to join the women's WNBA league as early as two years later.”

That's confirmed and not shocking. If not UConn, much better the pros than another big program.
 
Dan Olsen looks at the players to watch at the Nike TOC which begins today:


W Aaliyah Edwards
Kingston, Canada/Crestwood Secondary
espnW rank (2020): 26

Edwards, a future UConn Husky, is a physical forward who has evolved into one of Canada's best prospects in the Class of 2020. She is physical off the bounce, drive and finish plays in traffic or hit a midrange jumper.

*

G Rayah Marshall
Los Angeles, California/Lynwood High
espnW rank (2021): 14

Standing 6-foot-3 with a skill set comparable to Kevin Durant, Marshall can play virtually any position on the floor and is capable of taking over a game at almost any time. Marshall has the offensive firepower to score from any spot on the court and the defensive ability to create havoc for the opponent.

*

P Lauren Betts
Centennial, Colorado/Grandview High
espnW rank (2022): 1

Betts, currently the top prospect in the Class of 2022, is a towering 6-foot-7 center who has rapidly developed her game. She was a USA Basketball member in 2019 and is drawing attention by some of the top Power 5 schools in the country. She is a game-changer defensively and helped Grandview be in the espnW Power Rankings for most of the 2018-19 season.

A couple of the TOC venues (local high schools) are right in my subdivision this year. And they happen to be the gyms where the groups with Edwards, Lattimore, Miles, Cardoso and Betts are playing. Looking forward to seeing Crestwood (Edwards and Lattimore) play tomorrow. Schedule after that depends on who wins, so don't know what other games I'll be able to sneak out to.
