Girls HS ball in Tennessee

[RealisticFan45]

It is not a lot of that anywhere except in the inner city/metro areas of Memphis and Nashville. Girls are not as athletic as some have been in the past and other don't have the passion and work ethic to get where they can be or need to be. A lot of fans, critics and analyst see HS players thrive in HS, score a lot of points and excel in HS on offense but get to college and have to sit because they can't defend. This goes for boys as well. You cannot play college basketball if you cannot defend. There is a player now that scored over 2000 points in her HS career, Miss Basketball finalist, POY of the district and etc, but barely sees the floor in college solely because she cannot defend on the D1 level. It all looks good in the media and at your school when you sign these scholarships, but be real with yourself. You as a player know what you need to work on and your capabilities. Another player, dominate post player in her area could guard all 5 positions, had decent handles for her size, knew and opted to go JUCO because she knew she needed to work on different areas of her game. Players, coaches and parents need to be more realistic. Sorry got a little of topic
