SA Players on ESPN TEXAS PROSPECTS LIST

San Antonio has a number of girls represented on the ESPN's 2010 Texas Prospects list. The list includes some very high praise for a few girls:



Meighan Simmons- Ranked as the #1 shooting guard in the nation and 3rd best player overall.

Stephanie Wittman- Ranked as the #10 shooting guard in the nation and the 6th best player in the state.

Len'Nique Brown- Ranked as the 24th best point guard in the nation and the 16th best player in the state.



All three girls have received a ranking score by Hoopgurlz as elite prospects. The following is the breakdown for the ESPN scoring system.



Scouts Inc. High School Grading System



90-100: Rare ProspectPlayer demonstrates rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. Has all the skills to take over a game and could be an impact player as a true freshman.
80-89: Outstanding ProspectPlayer has the ability to create mismatches against most opponents and could contribute as a true freshman.
70-79: Good ProspectPlayer does not dominate in every game, especially when matched up against the top players in the country. Could become a good starter at the Division I level.
60-69: Solid ProspectThis player is overmatched against the better players in the nation. His weaknesses will be exposed against top competition. Has the ability to develop into a solid contributor at the Division I level.
50-59: ProspectPlayer has some redeeming qualities but is not projected to contribute at the Division I level.
45: Pending Prospect w/ filmScouts Inc. has received film of the prospect and an evaluation is pending.
40: Pending ProspectPlayer has redeeming qualities and is projected to contribute at the Division I level, however film has not yet been received.


ESPN 150 Watch ListPlayer rated somewhere from 78 to 100 with a chance to make the ESPN 150, the ranking of the top 150 prospects in the country.



Simmons score was a 92, Whittman received an 87 while Brown has a 75. All three guards play for TeamXpress.



One player that is waiting on her ranking is CeCe Harper. Harper has a 45, which means that her tapes are being reviewed for a ranking score. Smart money says that she will at least be a 75 and make the ESPN 150. I would be surprised if San Antonio does not have 5 girls in the ESPN Top 150 when they graduate. Simmons, Whittman, Brown, Harper, and Kiante Ageous will most likely make the list.
