Aaliyah Whiteside makes ESPN Hoopgurlz Deep South Classic Tip Sheet

Junior, Aaliyah Whiteside (Central)  received an awesome evaluation from Mark Lewis of ESPN Hoopgurlz.

Aaliyah Whiteside, Team Memphis Elite (Memphis, Tenn.): One of the most enjoyable aspects about watching prospects over the course of their career is the continuing evolution of their game. Even more enjoyable is when that athlete is an elite player like this 5-11 guard. Whiteside established herself long ago as a recruit at the highest level of play, but she has continued to advance the skills and scope of her game almost every time we've seen her in action. The potential she demonstrated at a young age is now very much a reality and it may have her climbing even higher than her current No.35 ranking in the 2012 class. Her size and athleticism go hand in hand with an aggressive approach at both ends of the floor. She attacks with the ball in her hands but also cuts effectively without leaving defenders trying to recover. On the defensive end, she can match up with any spot on the perimeter and has the quickness and lateral speed to turn ball handlers and dictate options. She's looking stronger and playing with a maturity that should have an already crowded line of recruiters getting even longer.
