MONDAY CARDINAL COUPLE
- Troyian Brooks names Louisville to her final five
Add the name Troyian Brooks to the list of stars that are looking at Louisville as a possible destination to continue their academic and athletic pursuits. This Helen Cox H.S. star from New Orleans can go as a foward or wing.
Don't go rushing off to look at her junior year stats, though:
Troyian Brooks, a highly recruited junior, was suspended by head coach Weary-Cox for violation of team rules the first semester and missed the second semester because of academic reasons.
Her list is impressive and includes a couple of schools that would bring her into the KFC YUM! Center even if she doesn't end up here.
6'2 W/F Troyian Brooks has a list of five. West Virginia, Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina & Texas Tech.
The summer club tournaments are probably more important in getting a player recognition that their high schools careers.So...how are her skills? Walz will have more wings on campus than your local KFC Restaurant outlet in 2015. Here's what she showed at a recent skills camp:
6'2" Troyian Brooks, a New Orleans native, literally shined bright all day. The lefty has long arms and is very long athletically with a nice array of skill sets. She runs the floor extremely well and pushes the ball on the dribble. She finishes well in the paint and has a smooth stroke that extends out to the three-point range. Brooks is adept at attacking off the dribble and finishing in the paint. She has good handles, is a good on-ball defender, rebounds well and is a high energy player with great hops. Her game and future are extremely bright and she's a player definitely worth keeping your eyes on.
