Glenn Nelson at HoopGurlz and Full Court has been watching elite prep tournaments. He says young elite players are way better than even a few years ago:

"For years, boys clearly have played, any time, anywhere, while girls have played games, in structured environments with pretty uniforms." Now, though, the girls "are starting to roam the streets and gyms in search of an unstructured run, where they can experiment and register cause and effect...

"As the boys' and men's game has suffered from slippage in advanced skills, we see the opposite start to emerge on the girls' and women's side - for example, better perimeter footwork, or defenders knowing how to show and recover on pick-and-roll plays."
