Geno watched 2024 Imari Berry two days ago which makes consecutive days one of the coaches was viewing her.

We might have an Amari DeBerry and an Imari Berry at the same time?
 
Strong looks super confident driving to the basket. There's a lot to work with there. Can I guess that this is what Morrow looked like in HS?

Strong appears to have more skill than Morrow as well as PG vision and passing skills. Morrow beats people with relentless physicality and effort. Strong often looks like she is coasting out there, and of course there is a distinct physical difference.

Morrow doesn't have the perimeter/guard skills that Strong does. For example Morrow shot 23% from deep and dished out about 1 assist per game. I would expect Strong to exceed those numbers.
Strong is obviously very very skilled but the one thing that has consistently been bugging me is the level of competition she is facing in both HS and AAU basketball highlights. In these recent highlights for example she is playing AAU U16 vs playing up U17. I have yet to see a Sarah Strong highlight where she was going up against a players even close to her skill level.

Exactly what I was going to comment on. I'm as interested in Strong as anyone and realize she can only play against whoever her coaches put her on the floor against. But she's operating with a huge physical advantage and I also look forward to seeing what she can do against tougher matchups. Right now it looks like she's cruising and not being pushed at all. I'm surprised she's not playing at the highest level available at a critical time in her development.
 
ASGR has moved their rankings to a subscription-based system now which stinks. But here is their updated 2024 top-9.

Did I read that #1 Joyce Edwards didn't make the team in her recent U17 tryout? It seems that they try to spread around team participation and it's not always the best players being selected.

According to their ratings, it's a virtual toss up among the three 2024 centers. However, I'm partial to Tac. Her length and mobility on defense is what separates her from the other 2.

Who are the three 2023 centers?
I'm counting 4 highly rated centers (Thomas, Koval, Ume, & Tac).
