Basketball on the Bayou July '10: So rare are the complete packages among post prospects, you have to act quickly on those who have enough building blocks. Brookes, from Lanett, Ala., is one such post prospect. At 6-3, she has long arms and a stout body. She battles for turf inside the paint as well as loose balls, whether on the floor or off the glass, but needs to look the ball into her hands and develop a little more gripping power to increase her rebounding effectiveness. Like a lot of tall girls still growing into their bodies, Brookes could use a more fluid running motion and increase her stamina. She also understands offensive positioning well enough to play to passing angles, but on the other hand often is too erect in her postups and prone to being pushed off the box. Like we said, a mixed bag, but one full of promise. (Nelson)
