2020 Recruiting - WBB

Sarah Andrews is a dynamic, quick, smooth 5’-7” sophomore point guard. I certainly didn’t see anything that says she is not the number one point guard in nation for 2020. She is a drive and finish/dish artist. Her being a lefty really gives her an advantage. Wonderful handle with excellent hesitation dribble then explodes past defense when they relax. Allen has good, quick guards and they couldnt keep her out of the paint. She moves the ball so effortlessly it seems like it is part of her. She did get called for palming the ball once but that slight of hand gets her a lots of advantage as well. She has tremendous court vision in the half-court as well as full. Her long passes on the break were perfect. There is work to be done however. She rarely goes right and if she does, she always comes back left. The one time she took it to the rim right handed she looked uncomfortable and missed a bunny. Her mid-range is non-existent. She has an excellent pull-up floater that McCarty would be proud of. Her BTA shot was off in the first half and I am guessing 0-5. In the second half she made 4-6 and they were NBA threes that brought rain. Really got the big crowd amped. Her body language was good. She didn’t get upset with team-mates that couldn’t handle her on-spot passes. Good stamina as she played entire game. Didn’t rest on defense. She has plenty of time to work on right hand and mid-range.....sophomore. Reminds me of Odyssey Sims who also went to Irving MacArthur. There are a lot of excellent sophomore point guards; however, she is simply outstanding now against older competition. It would take an exceptional player to be better. She is a take. The question is who does she like? My source says Texas has been talking to her a lot and she is receptive. Also in the running is an SEC school that The Round Man of Rebound took money from a long time ago, and a AAC school whose men’s coach recently got fired for bribes, and other schools. You will have to guess who those 2 are.
 
Sasha Goforth and Jordyn Merritt are now team mates on CyFair EYBL team and both received invites to U17 National Team trials. Sasha has not visited Texas yet but I am told she talks to them regularly and will be going to Advanced Camp at UT this summer.

awesome! Looking to possibly dropping in at the advanced camp this summer to see some of these players and meet the incoming frosh.
 
I like Jordyn Merritt, too. She seems to have the ideal size, speed and skills to play small forward in college. Watched her play on TV in the 6A championship game, and she is a very confident player, including from 3-point range. Just seems to do everything well, and is probably versatile enough to slide over (in a pinch) and play a little SG or PF, depending on the defensive matchup.

I believe we offered her two summers ago after she attended our summer camp.

But, we need a true small forward for 2019! And, if we land Haley Jones or another elite SF for the 2019 class, that could have an effect on Merritt in the 2020 class.
 
A few months ago, @Oakman told us about 2020 standout, Kylee Watson. Thus far, we know she's visited SC, Duke (and maybe Notre Dame). At this point, I'm not certain if we are recruiting her but our coaches follow her on Twitter.





 
Lot's of 2020 nuggets in this Tweet



Thanks for sharing. Based on the GameChanger app that Cy-Fair EYBL U17 is using to keep stats, and in case anyone is wondering how hard we should be recruiting Sasha Goforth, after five games she leads Cy-Fair in scoring at 12.8 ppg while shooting 47% from 3 point range, is second in rebounding, is second in steals, and third in assists. And I know from having watched her play many high school games here in Arkansas, she is a great defensive player (length, instincts, and determination) who can guard any position.
