2011 Blazer’s Big Three Impressive at Summer Kickoff

Prentice — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:58:05 +0000

I’ve been receiving calls from several DI coaches attending Peach State Hoops Summer Kickoff. The 2011 trio of Phenix City’s Central standouts 6′3″ Kristi Mokube and 6′0″ Monique Jackson along with Ozark Carroll standout 6′0″ Tia Faleru all put on quite a show impressing several ACC and SEC schools. Needless to say the trio will have several offers forthcoming. Mokube playing mainly the three spot and Faleru playing multiple position. Both displayed a ton of athletism, hustle, enthusiam combined with scoring and rebounding from all angles. Jackons played superbly pounding the boards and justing beasting inside. The Blazer trio is definitely rising fast up several recruiting boards. Looking forward to seeing good things from the Blazer Big Three.

2011 Prospects Standout at USC Camp

Prentice — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:30:59 +0000

I had the pleasure of working Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Camp. I had a opportunity to get a up close and personal look at three of Alabama top 2011 prospects 6′3″ Kristi Mokube, 6′0″ Monique Jackson both from Central of Phenix City and 5′8″ Amara Mayers from Madison Academy. Mokube displayed exceptional handles for her size, she is very athletic and is a definite tweener with a nice blend of finesse and power female version on ex Bull Scottie Pippen. Jackson’s has a power game, she rebounds extremely well; she has a knack for getting to where she wants on the paint and either scores on creates contact to get on the foul line. Jackson is female version of ex Jazz PF Karl Malone. Mayers has a college ready body with combo guard skill set to match. She has the knack for breaking down the defense and has the ability to finish at the rim or dish. She can also knock down the midrange jumper or 3 pointers. Mayers is a female version of ex Pistons guard Joe Dumars. BP is looking forward to following these ladies

Hoover’s 2012 Fuqua Verbals to SEC School

Prentice — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:05:43 +0000

Hoover’s 2012 6′1″ Wing Chardonae Fuqua has verbally committed to play for Van Chancellor’s LSU Lady Tigers. Fuqua a silky smooth athletic wing was offered while attending camp. Fuqua help lead the Hoover Lady Bucs to the 6A State Championship and a national ranking. In Fuqua LSU is getting a potential 2012 Top 100 prospect. BP is really looking forward to watching her grow as a player. Fuqua has a tremendous upside.

Midfield’s 2012 Mighty Steele Verbals to SEC School

Prentice — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:45:10 +0000

LSU had Shaq the Man of Steel. The SEC can look forward to another Steele in Midfield’s 2012 5′0″ PG Jasmine Steele. Steele recently verbally comitted to Wendell Hudson’s Alabama Crimson Tide. Steele may be small in stature but she more than makes up for her size with unlimited energy and effort. I like to call her Mighty Steele after the cartoon character Mighty Mouse. Midfield Coach Reggie Ware calls her “Little Giant” mainly because Steele “doesn’t use her size as an excuse she sees it as a positive attacking bigger players and basically playing big herself.” Steele help lead Midfield to back to back 4A State Championships while being named Final Four MVP. Coach Hudson and the Crimson Tide Staff, in Steele, land a potential 2012 Top 100 prospect.
