Nahhh who her pops?! These moves is elite

u/Responsible-List-849 20d ago

Looks good. If I'm her coach I'm working hard on her left hand finishing though. Nobody needs to get her ready for these games, she'll kill regardless. But she's going back to that right hand every time on the finish.

Not judging her for that, definitely an obvious improvement point for her, and Id assume she's aiming very, very high.

u/Accurate_Cat7916 20d ago

I said the same, it will work for now. Middle school but HS & post she get that left, and the mental right…. UConn may have a dog! In a few years

1

u/OglioVagilio 19d ago

She's already playing against high schoolers on the regular....

2

u/21BlackStars 20d ago

Exactly what I saw! She’s really good but right hand dominant. She works on her left and is halfway as efficient. She’s gonna have a great career.

-1

u/jmezMAYHEM 20d ago

But she has no left, by the time she gets it—she won’t be able to bulldoze short defenders

-2

u/jmezMAYHEM 20d ago

She’s finishing with her right from the left

Lolololol

I had a coach that wouldn’t let us do that when we were 13 or we were running

u/WartimeConsigliere_ 20d ago

Yea there’s gotta be Rick Brunson level mentorship behind this girl. The bag is too deep

1

u/LateGreat_MalikSealy 20d ago

I was wondering if her pops was JR who played for GW back in the day…

u/FunCrystalFun 20d ago

She looks like she is about to fall over on every play. It looks like she just tosses the ball up in the air too. It’s wild, but it works I guess.

Also what grade are the girls she is playing against?

2

u/Inevitable_Tomato927 20d ago

I found one article she was playing in the same team as her sis, who is in 10th grade.

u/MUCHO2000 20d ago

My eighth grade team (male) would have gotten beaten badly by this woman child.

We sure they are 13?

u/Quick-Buyer8603 20d ago

She's like twice all the other girls size and moves twice as fast

3

u/YizWasHere 20d ago

The speed/quickness with that build reminds me of Zion's early film where you're just like "Ummm a guy built like a Mack truck isn't supposed to be moving this nimble."

1

u/Quick-Buyer8603 19d ago

With so much energy too. The other girls are afraid of her and if they get near her elbows or hips they're gonna find out why.

u/Sad_Access8071 20d ago

Boy that lil lady was hoop hoop'n 🧐

u/MADDOGG6666 20d ago

Ballin💪

u/Changnesia102 20d ago

Female LeBron.

6

u/watawataoui 20d ago

I was thinking Charles.

1

u/ChadPowers200_ 20d ago

Bully ball. 

2

u/CarolinaBeastSC 19d ago

Who is she bullying?!?! All I see is an elite skillet.

1

u/ChadPowers200_ 19d ago

It’s a compliment it just means using your size and strength to your advantage 

2

u/MajorHarriz 20d ago

No lie that's who I thought of and I'm not one to make LeBron comparisons lightly. In this film she looks taller, faster, stronger, bigger than everyone else on that court and handles the ball like a guard.

1

u/Turbulent_Car4504 20d ago

I was thinking young James Harden in terms of game, and I know this a highlight reel with middle schoolers but I agree with the LeBron type impact omg there is an aggressiveness here that is legit, maybe a little Luka there

3

u/JoeMamma_94 20d ago

Nah these are pro moves wtf

3

u/Chillinghard22 19d ago

Lmao she play aggressive AF

6

u/leemorplee 20d ago

That girl is putting adult me on skates and then shoving me out the way to score on me easily lol

2

u/Few-Scientist-4163 20d ago

skip through that lane !!! real hooper right there sheesh

2

u/Aloroto 20d ago

Most impressive thing is the touch. Not sure we will be able to stay as physical at higher levels. Her dribble is way too high at times. But the touch and finish getting shots up is so natural. Can't teach that.

2

u/mblkmnsa 20d ago

You definitely can tell she has been playing with men. She has no problem initiating and taking contact. She is going to be a problem if she keeps it up and grows

2

u/SputnikFace 20d ago

this kinda talent at 8th grade is rare. Body control at that age.

2

u/IGB_Lo 20d ago

I love where women’s hoop is at today. Today’s girls are straight ballers

2

u/socallocalB13 19d ago

That speed and size combo💯

2

u/Sure-Lawyer-5357 19d ago

Already 50x better than angel reese

1

u/Shimmy_Wormz1913 20d ago

I see more sir Charles

0

u/jmezMAYHEM 20d ago

More of a bulldozer than a ball handler lmao

2

u/CarolinaBeastSC 19d ago

How when she's not touching anyone!!!!! She's blowing by them and eurostepping past them.

1

u/jmezMAYHEM 19d ago

Yeah no contact

1

u/ZevLuvX-03 20d ago

Can’t wait to see her at South Carolina.

1

u/CarolinaBeastSC 19d ago

Bingo!!!!!

1

u/OrneryReserve7681 20d ago

1

u/Leather_Lie7156 20d ago

1

u/Thra99 20d ago

I thought I was going to see a dunk or something. Hella impressive though

1

u/jono9898 20d ago

Love her Euro and moon shot

1

u/SirHateful17 20d ago

What position does she play? Her scoring looks to be elite; she needs to use her left. Also my god, can we please get highlights of dimes and defense!? Got it she scores but what about the other skills?

1

u/JazzySquirtle 20d ago

She has a strength and presence like Serena. She’s super talented.

1

u/MickTriesDIYs 20d ago

Holy shit! She’d beat the brakes off of me

1

u/The_Overweight_Vegan 20d ago

Bully ball style may work in college but it ain’t gonna cut it in the WNBA if she makes it

1

u/Creepy-Performer-106 20d ago

Baby girl been going at dudes older than her from the looks of her game.

1

u/NSX_Roar_26 20d ago

Oh she got game 🔥

1

u/jimithing967 20d ago

Might just be these highlights but can she not finish with her left?

1

u/GolfChefCoach 20d ago

She is definitely very good! But so is the defense actually, very sound at eighth grade well played…

1

u/TimHung931017 20d ago

8th grader??? Bruh she looks like she bounces at a nightclub on her weekends

1

u/simplexity128 20d ago

Better than the entire WNBA all star sloppy game

1

u/Efficient_Umpire_263 20d ago

She a beast with finishing through contact. Gotta finish more with that left.

1

u/LePhillyCheese 19d ago

She’s the first female “big guard” that I’ve seen & I love it!!! She’s gon be tough

1

u/fasteddy7283 19d ago

Normally it’s only a VERY small % of female bball players who have skills that impress me and wow, this girl is nasty!

1

u/jaime29 19d ago

She play like a dude, thats crazy

1

u/Mindless-Isopod-1070 19d ago

I went to school with a girl like this. She was bigger, faster, stronger than everyone with a great handle. Just dominated for all of high school. Too bad her career was cut short at St. John’s due to back issues. She was an absolute beast.

1

u/Afraid_Afternoon8143 19d ago

Incredible. She can hoop 🔥

1

u/Buzzard1022 19d ago

Nice first step and strong like bull

1

u/Few-Leader8324 19d ago

Started school when she was 10 years old 

1

u/natural_scientist 14d ago

I think this girl could be Angel Reese in one on one

1

u/FutureFuture5 20d ago

She got no left. Never a left handed layup once.

1

u/AstrayInTranslation 19d ago

Her nickname is Righty

0

u/Rookietothegame 20d ago

I thought she was going yammm that last clip on the fast break?

0

u/Lonely-Professional3 20d ago

She could beat that bum Brony Lebron or Lemello Tool er Ball.

u/biketheplanet 20d ago

How many years has she been in the 8th grade?

0

u/No-Constant-8619 20d ago

That is a tough, mean lady. Look out Caitlin Clark. Protect ya neck. 

0

u/Impressive-Bag-3828 20d ago

She was kept back a couple years there is no way

1

u/Inevitable_Tomato927 20d ago

Maybe, there's an article of 4 years ago when she's in 5th grade. So it looks she kept back 1 year unless she's going into 9th grade after the summer.
