Prospects Nation on Nike TOC standouts:



Timea Gardiner (Ogden, Utah), Fremont HS – 2022

Considered one of the top sophomores in the country, Gardiner did not disappoint at the Nike TOC. She was a vocal presence on the floor on top of her game play. She scored the ball on the interior as well as in the mid range. Her ability to score and pass at 6 feet 3 inches is impressive.

Roland Park’s Mir McLean won the opening tap, and that was the least of the damage she would do on the afternoon, particularly in the first half. Later in that very first possession, McLean took the ball on the low block, spun to her left and went off the glass to give the Reds a 2-0 lead.

After a Vikings miss, McLean showed the next weapon in her arsenal. She drove into the lane, pulled up her dribble, spun and hit a 12-foot jumper.

...

McLean — who is headed to national powerhouse Connecticut to play her college ball — added two more field goals and two free throws before the quarter ended.

...

But it was McLean to the rescue again for the Reds. She deposited a third-chance layup to put Roland Park back on top.

...

But McLean countered quickly, banking in a runner to get the Reds back into the lead with 6:37 to go.

Olivia Lynch scores 26, but St. Elizabeth drops a tough one to Roland Park at Diamond State Classic - The Dialog

WILMINGTON — St. Elizabeth’s girls basketball team used the long ball to stay close, but the Vikings’ seven three-pointers were not enough to overcome Roland Park Country School (Md.) in the Delaware Orthopaedics Specialists Cup bracket on Dec. 29 at the Diamond State Classic. The Reds placed...

She was Azzimatic in that video goin' round. Something like 268 out of 270 from three.

That is how legends are made. 268/270 from three-point distance in a video would require plenty of editing. I have rebounded for a lot of great shooters and none of them could have approached the 268/270 figure from beyond the arc. That simply isn't human. Steph Curry couldn't do that....

I have seen the unedited video and I wasn’t counting but I would say she missed around 8 shots. Which is still pretty impressive.

Fudd is an elite high school shooter. She has earned that distinction with her hard work. She has beaten elite boys in a three-point shooting contest. I just don't know whether she is ready to be the female world record holder for threes as one poster above suggested with the 268/270 quote.

Azzi made 268 in 18 minutes. I don't recall seeing how many she took. I think 268/270 may be possible untimed from the FT line, but it sounds too lofty from the 3-point line.

BTW, Azzi won a national FT shooting contest in 2013. Her shooting has been stellar since a young age.

? Sam Brunelle. I see only one glaring similarity. Come on MH!

They look somewhat similar, though Sam wears a bun and Saylor wears a ponytail. Both are about 6'2" with medium builds and blonde hair. Both are versatile and have 3-point range. I think Saylor is more fluid in her movement.

Saylor is faster too and likes to bang around inside while Brunelle wants to be a perimeter player. They are simply not the same kind of player.

Totally agree with the toughness part. She is a terrier (oops husky). Not so sure about general speed but glad to hear that others see it.
 
West Coast: "Not human" you say about that shooting percentage?
Such little faith. How about this: back in the day we shot fouls underhanded. In Junior High, we were supposed to end practice by making ten in a row. The managers who did the counting would finally tell me they had to go home for supper. Never did make 10 in a row. Now THAT is not human.
 
I googled pics of both. No similarities in looks or style of play. Saylor does not remind me of Sam.

Haven’t seen enough of Saylor to comment, though for U16, she was primarily a three-point shooter and distributor. Over 65% of her attempts were outside of the arc. I believe she was second in the event in assists as well.

Well they look kinda similar standing still. But once they start moving they couldn't look more dissimilar. Saylor is lankier, she runs differently, and launches her shots differently. Sam has a bigger upper and lower body.

I want her!!! She can help UConn be "real bad" for wcbb. :D

Would be interesting to see because her sister, Tamari Key, is a freshman at Tennessee.

Ughh. Didn't know that. I know about Tamari Key at Tennessee, but I did not know THIS "Key" was related to her. In that case, I guess she's bound for 'ol Rocky top. No doubt she wants to play with her sister, I would. :(

The Tennessee board doesn’t seem to think so.

In THAT case, we'll GLADLY take her!!! :cool: As I said, she appears to be very talented and gifted. I'm sure Geno could find a spot for her at UConn (IF she's on their "want" list), and help the team remain very bad for WCBB.
