Chrislyn CarrPALATINE, Ill. – The Chicagoland Showcase has become one of the Midwest’s premier events during the high school season. Here is a look at four seniors who caught our attention during the day.
Carr showcased herself as a diminutive yet dynamic option at the point guard position. She shot the 3-pointer consistently in this setting against a tough Carmel HS team. Carr, who has signed with Texas Tech, will bring the Red Raiders a skilled and athletic ball handler when she arrives in Lubbock next summer.
Dilk was the star of the show on Saturday night. The nation’s No. 17 ranked point guard showed why Michigan coach Kim Barnes-Arico and her staff made Dilk a major priority in building their 2018 recruiting class. With her size, skill and ability to create plays on both ends, Dilk made her presence felt early and often in a battle against a Rock Island team that has one of the premier backcourts in the Midwest.
Johnson was fantastic in this evaluation dropping buckets from all over the hardwood. She was at her best attacking the lane to finish with pull-up jumpers or all the way at the rim. That said, the future Missouri-Kansas City scoring guard is capable of shooting the ball from the outside as well. Johnson’s slender frame and willingness to score the ball reminds me of former Georgia Tech standout Sydney Wallace during her high school days.
Based on her play here, Wehman is going to bring a different dimension to Georgetown’s offense. Hoyas coach Jimmy Howard will be able to use Wehman’s length and versatility to create mismatches on the offensive end. She showed the skill to be able to stretch the floor out to 22-23 feet with her jump shot against Kenwood.
