#5
ranked player in the nation Talia von Oelhoffen and dissected her game and touched on recruiting, what she’s working on, and USA basketball. Read her Q&A below! (FREE)
2019 JaQaya Miller (UW Signee) had 30 points and 24 rebounds in the loss to Woodinville. Really turned it up when 2020 Jordyn Jenkins fouled out in the third quarter.
Outstanding performance. Also shot 12/15 from the foul line. Free throw shooting is HUGE at the next level.
Sophomore Delaney Pink hits a tough floater for Chiawana, but senior Haley Grambo hits the game tying shot at the buzzer to send the game into double OT.
There are so many COLLEGE prospects in the state that fly under the radar. Don’t get discouraged. Keep working and be sure to put yourself in the right positions to be noticed and seen by the right people.
Another HUGE pickup for

ABA, NW Magic, Tree of Hope and some other WA programs that have played this past week all have 2021’s that can help college programs of different levels. I hope lots of coaches (Juco-D1) were tuned in to live streams!
Reminder:
2nd team all league players from our state go Division 1 every year. There are also multiple MVP’s and 1st team all league performers with no offers. High school or newspaper media accolades do not make a PROSPECT.
2021 5’10 SF Taliyah Clark (Bishop Blanchet HS) heard from Princeton, UC Davis, Weber State, UC San Diego, Tulane and Saint Mary’s yesterday.
Strong and aggressive scorer!
Way to Win, Pacific, Tree of Hope, All Out, NW Blazers and more all competing really well in some different age groups/divisions throughout the country!

Lynwood High School’s Nakia Boston put up 27 in her senior season debut. UNSIGNED SENIOR. Versatile guard that can do a little bit of everything.
@nbostonballer
Some 3-4 year first team all league high school players may end up playing Juco or NAIA ball. Some Division 1 prospects are not chosen for first team or MVP of their league for a variety of reasons. Coaches never ask me if a player made all league. “Can they play at our level?”
2023 6’1 G Adria Lincoln (Monroe HS/NW Blazers) has received an offer from Butler University of the Big East.
Has looked really good at the
