Olivia Miles (#15) at Nike TOC today. Her Blair Academy team is getting destroyed by Cardoso’s Hamilton Heights.

JuJu Watkins has been a presence on the radar for several years now yet it still seems odd to finally see the freshman in a high school uniform. The explosive young Windward guard stands 6-0 and is comfortable at any position on the perimeter. Watkins obviously likes creating her own looks off the dribble and is much more than effective in her attack. As teams adapt she’ll be drawing crowds and will have to dig deeper in her tool box to keep the opposition honest. A sound jumper is there and comes with the range to force defenders to close out more aggressively than they might prefer. There’s an element of power in Watkins game already but it’s a smooth, fluid and continual version rather than just that occasional explosive burst. She’s the kind of player that can wear you down baseline to baseline across the course of an entire game. Like any promising freshman there are always rough edges to smooth out and experience to gain, but Watkins has the tools and patience to embrace the process in order to make the most of the obvious possibilities.



I remember first hearing about JuJu 2-3 years ago. She was very very good back then. She's my So. Cal neighbor. If I remember correctly, she’s also from the Inland Empire (Corona).

Every elite program in the country will offer her, if they haven't already. I'm pretty sure Walz (Louisville) has.

Kamilla Cardoso in Blair Academy’s game vs. Hamilton Heights (Olivia Miles) at PHX TOC. Cardoso is a seriously large human being, but that seems to be her primary asset. Gets winded quickly, lots of resting with hands on hips during live play. Good at standing under the basket and calling for the ball. But she seems athletic enough and she can put it in the hoop. If Q can get her into shape She should do well - she’ll still be bigger than everybody else.

Looks Cambagean!
 
We have the #2 recruiting class on HG. That reflects a #26 rating for Aaliyah and no ranking for Nika or Piath. Which is the biggest joke of the three?
 


Don't be surprised if JuJu winds up at UCLA. Many of the best players from Windward go to Westwood after graduation. There's a direct pipeline from Windward to UCLA. There has been for years.

"L.A. Windward girls’ basketball coach Vanessa Nygaard keeps getting to work with top players. She loses All-American Charisma Osborne to UCLA and freshmen Juju Watkins and Skye Belker arrive and junior Michelle Duchemin becomes eligible after having to sit out all last season following her transfer from Beverly Hills." Jordin Canada (UCLA/Seattle Storm) is also a Windward alum. :cool:
