Rellah Boothe, 2017 star

[MilfordHusky]

Rellah plays for Potter House in Jacksonville. She's the #4 forward and #13 player in 2017. Last night her team beat Crystal Dangerfield's nationally top-ranked team. Rellah had 37 and 22. OMG!

Yikes! The Sporting News had Crystal's team preseason national #1.

Interview with Rellah Boothe

 

[MilfordHusky]

When someone puts up 37 and 23 against the top team in the nation, it's attention-grabbing.

Her voice sounds like Maya's.

She does sound like Maya. I would have liked to see that performance. Those are eye-popping numbers.

 

[connboy77]

I heard she is looking to play for a great college coach. Someone that will push her to reach her full potential. Do we know anyone like that?

I agree, she looks like someone who may need some attention from a coach
who will bring out all her potential. I'm sure Chrystal would have some first
hand knowledge of her abilities.

I am amazed at the poise of these youngsters. She did pretty well in an interview with a less than perfect interviewer. He asked her what things she perceived as needing work in her game. She said working on driving with her right to the hoop (she's a lefty) but other than that she's fine with her game. I'm sure Geno would smile and shake his head at that one, given his opinion of elite player development pre-college. Hopefully her coaches have her working on more than that. Also hope she is on UConn's radar.

That site also has her listed as 6'3", whereas Hoopgurlz has her as 6'1". Thus, the difference in rankings.

There may be a discrepancy in height, but I'm not sure you can tie that to the difference in rankings. We're talking about players who were not yet sophomores when these lists came out, so it's just some early guesswork.

Dan Olsen immediately wrote a new report on Boothe following her performance yesterday.

Tennessee Turkey Jamm-November 2014: Dominating, versatile faceup-4 performer with next level impact; explosive leaper with confident swagger; rebounder deluxe, cleans glass, handles and passes, finishes on break; triple-threat attack breaks down defender, attacks, finishes to rim. (Olson)

The interviewer was really really awful. Where did they get that guy?

New ESPN piece on Boothe:

Maryland is currently Boothe's No. 1 school, with Tennessee and Auburn also on her short list.

Well, Maryland has a nice arena, Brenda is very persuasive, and the Big 10 is a powder-puff conference.
