Yeah, this is odd for me too. I generally don’t write about the very top prospects because they don’t need my help. They know how good they are and are out there proving it every day. I could honestly pick 5 girls from that Metro Travel 15s team and be done with this post, but I told myself I’m only going to pick one at a time and spread it out. Today, I’m going with Carolyn, but not for her outstanding play ON the court, what most impressed me about her this weekend was her behavior and work ethic OFF the court. I was around checking out some courts, because times are off by an hour or two all the time and it messes up my rough schedule, and while I was browsing, Metro was in between games, and Carolyn was off on her own, just bouncing a ball off the wall getting touches, refining her touch, building that muscle memory. Just pure work ethic of a girl that just can’t get enough. It wasn’t for the coaches, or the media, it was just to stay sharp and keep getting better when no one was watching. THAT is what separates the great from the good players and the superstars from the great players. Carolyn is absolutely going to be a superstar and I can’t wait to see her journey.
