FRISCO, Texas— Once again the host state of Texas was well represented at Premier Basketball’s Heart of Texas NCAA Evaluation event. A staple of tournaments every spring here in the Southwest, there was something for everybody as recruiters from all levels of college basketball were treated to a depth of talent and prospects. While it was tough to catch every team at all the different sites, here are some of the ladies we observed doing a thing (or two!) special that you should know. And of course, be sure to keep it locked in on Blue Star Media all week for our extensive coverage of multiple events from all over the country last weekend.
