GASO Summer Superlatives: Guest Feature Teams

One of the many blessings that comes with working in the Texas grassroots basketball scene is the abundance of great people who also operate in this space. From coaches at the HS level to grassroots program directors to media members from every corner of the state, it is no coincidence Texas has continued to evolve into a national recruiting hotbed at both the collegiate and professional level over the past few years.

And with that in mind, we’ve called upon several other media members to guest feature on this week’s newsletter; Each one giving out their opinions on the 5 prospects who helped themselves the most from a recruiting standpoint over the past few months.

And there’s arguably just as much talent assembled on our group of guest evaluators as there is on the respective teams they have picked - So let’s meet our panel!
