Interesting list...have you seen all of these players play whether school ball and/or AAU? I question the order of some who I know or have seen but will refrain from commenting because I haven't witnessed the play of most.

I like the fact you're getting the friendly conversation started though. Outside of school ball, this current AAU season and next year will be important developmental seasons for many of these fine student-athletes especially those who are serious about playing at the next level. Off-season workouts are also a huge factor which contribute to how the players transform deficiencies in their game.

Again congrats to Conrad. Yes they do have good young talent but it will be difficult to repeat. We'll see how the teams in the state shape out as the summer progresses between existing players, incoming freshman, transfers, etc. Looking forward to next season already.

I didn't make the list. i just seen this on another website. i did see majority of theses player play. And like you i keep my comments to myself about player rankings. But i will make statements about some players who may get slighted based on what they have done for the year for all state or player of the year. As whole I wish that a lot of these girls get the right attention that they deserve as far as the next level. The next years senior class i had big hopes for when they came in as freshman. what difference 3 years makes, hopefully it will turn out great for a lot of these girls..

We could go back and forth on rankings just like we did with all-state. I’ll give you a list of girls with current college offers or could possibly play D1. Remember it’s very important that you have solid grades if you want to be seriously looked at by D1 schools unless you are an unbelievable top 25 in the country type talent. A few of the girls listed below have awesome grades & they make it easier for themselves to attract D1 schools. Where as there are a few that struggle academically, making it harder to get looks. I’m sure there might be one or two players I’m missing but this is from what I’ve been told by players, high school coaches & from college coaches. And doing some fact checking on my own. Some of the biggest things that eliminates some girls is that they do not know how to play the game, they over dribble constantly and are more concerned about being a highlight real type player. Also, Shooting 30-40 times a game & only making 20-25% of your shots( at best) but still scoring 20 pts just doesn’t get it. Lastly, the excessive amount of bad advice that these girls get from people who think they know the game or can teach the game from the street agents, to the so-called trainers(teaching moves that are never used), & some of the uneducated parents that think they know how the game is played. Best advice for these girls is to go watch college players & pick there brain on how they got where they are & what it takes. In no particular order.

Lauren Park-Lane- has D1 offers
Ali Kubek- has D1 offers
Kylie Kornagay-Lucas- has D2 offers & some D1 interest
Kay Wulah- D1 potential
Julie Kulesza-has D1 offers
Stefanie Kulesza-has D1 offers
Jynyla Whittsey-has D1 offers
Bernya Ward-Mayo- D1 potential
Shania Davis- 1 D1 offer w/ D1 potentiall
Ron Blatch-Huggins- D1 potential

Hey- i like the list. there are some girls that are missing, that are getting D1 interest.
Zaria Newson- Several D1 offers
Na'Leighia Wright- 1 D1 offer
Kanisa Tucker- D1 interest
Kaeliegh White- D1 interest
Sasha Marvel- D1 offer
I hate the word potential. to me it just means that they may have the body type to do it but the skill or other attributes have not caught up to it yet. This current Junior class has a lot of potential. but Nothing has panned out yet because of various reasons. I hope they all make something out of this year.

Girls basketball is on the upswing in this state, glad to see so many talented young ladies getting college looks.

Thread deserves an update:

Lauren Park-Lane is headed to Seton Hall
Kayla Braxton-Young committing to LaSalle

That's pretty awesome for both of those young ladies.
