Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3616995, member: 2117"] Some notables: Griner. Watching HS players go against her would be pretty entertaining. Her numbers as a senior were 33/15/11 blocks per game. Blocked 25 shots in a single game. Candace Parker pre ACL, I saw her HS State championship from her junior year and her overall athleticism was simply at another level. She obviously overcame the ACL just fine, but she was definitely more athletic pre-ACL than she ever was after IMO. The most skilled HS player I've ever seen. Nicole Wolff/Kierstan Walters were top tier recruits who never panned out due to injury. Add in Kaz/Wiley-Gatewood as mentioned. Vicki Baugh too. Would've enjoyed seeing all of them in HS. Wiley-Gatewood's teams were pretty dominant too, earning the nation's #1 ranking I believe her sophomore year. Tina Charles vs. Maya Moore in some big HS tournament title game (TOC maybe?) Charles' team won but Maya apparently just went off that game. Maya is also a legendary HS player, so watching her play would be very entertaining. I recall hearing she did a great job defending big 6-6 Kelley Cain in a HS game, that would've been fun to see. Epiphanny Prince and Cheryl Miller both scored over 100 in HS games and were remarkable junior players. Leslie did too, but if I recall the opposing team simply couldn't throw the ball around her when she guarded the inbound pass and she'd steal it and lay it in over, and over, and over until she had 101 points by the end of the first half. Honestly all of the 100+ point games are probably incredibly dull, but I would've loved to see Miller/Prince in HS. I also like seeing bigs who played more on the perimeter in HS before transitioning inside in college. I recall seeing footage of A. Stevens in HS playing on the perimeter in HS and it was pretty darn impressive. Players like A'ja Wilson and Brianna Turner were labeled as wings at various points in time, but it would be quite interesting to see them with the ball in their hands more and playing on the perimeter. I'm sure there are a lot of others too, but those are ones that immediately come to mind. [/QUOTE]
