2024 Standouts at #secgirls19

KENDALL ROBINSON

Well I’ve been dropping articles galore for Prep Girl Hoops Texas and low and behold, I made an error on some of the top incoming freshmen. I added Rayna Williams to that list, her older sister Jade stars at Duke now, yet what makes Rayna even more impressive is that she’s only heading to the 8th grade. Just then, a light went off in my head, I think it was a light and I said let me drop some of the top 2024 players I caught at Prime Time Sports Summer Elite Showcase who I’m going to go ahead and drop the mic on them

Kendall Robinson-5’7 PG (Texas Savage 14U) I called her a #BCSLock a couple of years ago for a number of reasons and although she wasn’t 100% at the event, you’d never know. Good size and body, she plays bigger than listed height, she creates several problems offensively because of her arsenal, in other words, she finds ways to put the ball in the basket. Good defender and rebounds on both ends which also enables her to start and finish the break

Kemah Shaw-5’5 PG (AD Elite Future) don’t know what’s more intriguing, her upside, her progression or her desire but it doesn’t matter because she is showing me a whole lot in a short span. Plays the passing lane, handles the ball under pressure, finishes with contact and creates, not only her shot, but problems for defenders

LEAIRE NICKS

Leaire Nicks-5’11 PF (Lady Drive Nation Duncan 2023) long and ultra-athletic, her upside is unlimited on high she’ll land because not only does she play the passing lane and has excellent timing to deflect, alter or just block shots galore, she elevates over defenders with ease for a nice pull-up. Her length also enables her to blow by defenders, I foresee her first step becoming devastating

Kiah Goynes-5’7 PG (Texas Savage 14U) very athletic and understands the simple things but the hard things, well she gets them too and her ability to create, not only for herself but her teammates, at this stage of her career is big but doing it against older and sometimes stronger players is huge. She attacks from everywhere, speed galore, and finishes with contact

Zoe Canfield-5’8 PG (Missouri Phenom Topeka) heady point guard who controls tempo and showed she could handle the ball well under pressure. She not only sees the floor, she hits her teammates on the money, great upside

Chloe Mann-5’3 PG (Texas Savage 14U) nothing like speed but speed with the ball while being under control is always great and when you “get it” early, they’ll get it now and later. Her athleticism enables her to do a variety of things, like bring heat on defense or make acrobatic shots but I still remember the first time I wrote about her a few years ago and I said “ she made a save I haven’t seen many on their way to D1 make”
