A couple weeks late, but several players of interest appeared at the Nike Nationals in South Carolina. Bob Corwin recaps:
Andra Espinoza-Hunter, 5-11, small forward, 2017, Philadelphia Belles - 17 Nike (Ossining, New York)
Espinoza-Hunter posted solid numbers for the Belles, who bowed out in the Silver Bracket semi-finals. A versatile perimeter player orally committed to Connecticut, she averaged 13.1 ppg on 59.4% from the field while shooting 47.1% (16/34) from behind the arc.
Megan Walker, 6-1, small forward, 2017, BWSL 16U (Chesterfield, Virginia)
Walker (previously profiled: Capital Cool 2015: Plenty to scout inside in Montgomery, Alabama - Swish Appeal ) is generally considered the top prospect in the 2017 class and in this event showed more signs of being more in attack mode rather than settling for perimeter shots as has been seen in the past. For the event, she averaged 12.7 ppg on a respectable 41.9% from the field. She also led her team with 6.1 rebounds per game. Her best performance at the event may have been in round one of the Gold Bracket loss (68-62) to Cy-Fair when she posted 18 points (7/11 from the field), 14 rebounds, and four steals.
Aquira Decosta, 6-2, power forward, 2018, Cal Stars Nike Elite (Stockton, California)
Decosta is regarded as one of the top forwards in the 2018 class. The lefty is increasing her range and saved some of her best play in the event for Gold bracket play, hitting double figures in all three games.
