ESPN HoopGurlz Week In Review: Senior's Moment
February 24, 2012

By: Brandon Clay @peachstatehoops
& Keil Moore @keilmoore

The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America Game, played March 31 in Denver, Colo., during the Final Four weekend, features 20 of the best high school seniors in the country. The WBCA roster is nearly identical to the roster for the McDonald's All-American Game. However, there are three new names worthy of mention.

I saw Miami in a early season game this year versus Tennessee. They are impressive and when their top two players, senior guards Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams, are clicking on all cylinders very hard to defend. (Ed: The Canes have a huge match-up with No. 7 Duke tonight).

I watched Oklahoma live in Las Vegas right before Christmas. Sherri Coale’s team always seem to play hard. This year is no exception. Here are my thoughts:

Maya Dillard’s frame and game have both grown in the four years that our staff has watched her play. The 5-foot-7 junior point guard is quarterbacking one of the state’s top high school programs.

JumpOffPlus.com College Prospect Eval: Joclyn Ramos
January 13, 2012

By: Brandon Clay

Ramos is a tough, big game tested forward in the class of 2013. With her McEachern HS team, she has already played in games versus five nationally ranked teams during the 2011-12 season already. She’s provided a nice front-court compliment to Kayla Montgomery (Clemson signee) and Pachiyaanna Roberts (Syracuse).

JumpOffPlus.com College Prospect Eval: Lexie Barrier
January 6, 2012

By: Brandon Clay @peachstatehoops

Barrier’s build reminds me of Elan Brown (Vanderbilt Jr. F/Atlanta, Ga.) while her style of play game puts me in the class of 2013 off guard Bayley Coleman-Cox (Durham, N.C.). Barrier has a solid frame and combines that with good ball skill for a guard her age.

The most talented individual in this bracket has to be junior Meagan Tucker (Alcovy HS). The left-handed guard can play the game at the point position or hit jumpers on the wing.
