When looking at the french revolution research paper history of the notable Hoopstar alumni one can look as far back as Davis’ daughter, Sparkle Davis, who signed with Auburn out of high school and finished her career at West Virginia. Most recently, the Hoopstars had their most talented prospect to date with No. 32 ranked player in the 2013 ELITE 100, Kianna Holland of Seneca, S.C. Holland signed with Duke last November.

As Coach JD Davis always says, “We don’t die, we multiply.” That is exactly what the Hoopstars have done with this year’s roster. Although they do not possess two ELITE 100 prospects as they did last year, they do have a complete roster of players who friendship definition essay play hard and buy into his frenetic defensive style. A player who exemplifies this attitude as much as anyone is three-star prospect Alexandra Frazier of Lawrenceville, Ga. The 5-foot-8 guard plays hard on the defensive end, but can also create her own shot on the offensive end. Her backcourt running mate is 5-7 shooting guard Genesis Perrymond of Lilburn, Ga.Perrymond, an EBA Super 64 camp participant, who makes her living from behind the arc.

In the lane, the Hoopstars possess size and skill starting with four-star post Victoria Harris of Lilburn, Ga. The 6-3 prospect blocks shots and controls the glass consistently. However, the player who may be most ready homework essay help to have a break out July is 6-foot forward Aliyah McGriff of Duluth, Ga.
