Kateri Poole

Poole is one of the best, most physical guards in the 2020 class. She might also be the most fun to watch. While some rankings have her in the 30s, she’s currently ranked 16th according to ESPN.  When you watch her play, what stands out beyond her pure talent, athleticism, and physicality, is the poise in which she plays with.  Poole is always in control, regardless of the score, and regardless of how she may be performing that day.  She has range for days from the outside, and has the speed, quickness, and handle to get to the rim, while playing with the physicality and toughness that help make her a tremendous finisher.  Duke, Ohio State, and Kentucky have been three schools that have been connected to Poole.  She has other offers and is sure to pick up even more interest this summer. She plays AAU for New Heights out of New York City.
