From the 1/8 game:

2024 C 6’5 Blanca Thomas (Charlotte Catholic)

Blanca was fierce around the basket. She grabbed almost every rebound within reach and made finishing around the rim look easy. She also ran the floor extremely well which allowed for easy buckets in transition. Defensively she protected the basket well and made it extremely hard for the opposition to finish at the rim. Easily one of the top players in the state of North Carolina in any class. She finished with 21p, 13r, 5b.

Sahara Williams missed Tuesday's game, but she was nominated for a weekly honor.


Sahara Williams, junior, Waterloo West girls basketball

Williams has been one of the top performers in the state this season and it has led to the Wahawks rising all the way up to No.3 in the 5A rankings. The returning first team All-State performer is averaging 21 points, 7.5 rebounds, four assists and 4.5 steals per game. The junior has received multiple Division I scholarship offers already with more on the way. Last week, she scored over 20 points in Wahawk victories over Waterloo East and Iowa City West. She was nominated by West head coach and athletic director Anthony Pappas, who said of her:

“She’s done a great job on both ends of the floor for us as the anchor of our defense and on the offensive end as well.”

Katie Fiso, PG, Garfield: So smooth, so confident – might not be great scorer yet, but she is high-IQ playmaker and top defender.


Devin Coppinger, PG, Nooksack Valley: Lethal combination of power and skill, might be toughest guard in state to keep out of the paint.

We really should try to sign at least 1-2 more but anyone would be happy with KK and Ashlyn as a class in itself. We need numbers as well as quality. Ideally, to me, 4 signings.
 
Is KK anywhere near as good as KiKi or is KIKi a level above?

They are different kinds of players. KiKi Rice is much taller, by 4" or so, and is uber athletic (excellent soccer player). She's also rated #2 in her class. KK Arnold is #8 and a very tough 5'8" or so (listed between 5'6" and 5'10", but slightly taller than Geno). We got KK, which makes me very happy.

Agreed. Hopefully, we can get C and at least 1 from the group of Williams, Booker, Cunningham, and Del Rosario.

IMO, like many really good players, her strong fundamentals along with her high motor allow her skills to actually show better against the stronger AAU competition in this video. I think her HS games are a little slow for her. Plus the less wimpy officiating in AAU allows her to use her physicality to her advantage. This kid is tough and all business.
 
It's interesting that some of these analysts also flagged her mentality and work focus. That impressed me as well. I also agree that the AAU video sure helps display her talents better. As a Freshman in high school she basically carried her team on her back and it must have been so frustrating for her as she had no help. Ayanna had a similar situation as far as I'm concerned. Some of these remote prospects, relatively rural and suburb prospects, don't face the same level of competition I would think. Ashlyn plays like a boy playing with little girls sometimes. More assertive, strategically breaking down an opponent.
