The recipient of our Female Athlete of the Day is Savannah Irwin<\/a><\/strong>, a 6’5″ center from La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, California.\u00a0 This standout prospect carries a very impressive 3.82 GPA and plans to major in Biology.\u00a0 Following her junior year, Savannah earned honors such as being named to the UT All-Academic Team and All-League 1st Team.\u00a0 Her NSR scout, Dave Batzer<\/strong>, is glowing in his scouting report when he says, “As any basketball coach will tell you, you can’t teach height.\u00a0 Savannah’s 6′ 5″\u00a0 230lb. frame is an imposing site when she comes out on the floor.\u00a0 The best thing is she backs it up with ability.\u00a0 She has soft hands and is able to finish around the rim with both hands.\u00a0 She has the ability to block and alter shots without leaving her feet and risking the foul.\u00a0 She can hit the pull up jumper and even drop a three pointer when the need arises.\u00a0 She would be a focal point in a high-low system.\u00a0 She passes the ball well when double teamed and has a strong sense of the game and where she is on the court.\u00a0 She is by no means a speed deamon but is working hard to improve both her speed and endurance.\u00a0 She is young for her class and has some serious upside potential.\u00a0 She has the ability to play DI and possibly dominate at the DII\/DIII level.”\u00a0 Savannah talks about her abilities and love for the game when she tells college coaches, “I was built for this game both physically and mentally. I might not be the fastest or quickest on my feet (yet), but I have determination and heart. My high school coach always told me that it doesn\u2019t matter how good of a player you are if you don\u2019t have heart when you play. Heart gives me the edge when playing against similar\u2014or sometimes better\u2014players. It prevents me from giving up.\u00a0 It will give me the edge I need to compete in college.\u00a0 Not giving up means that I test my boundaries. I\u2019m not afraid to dive for a ball, or create some contact if it will help my team compete. I am always willing to do whatever it takes to help my team. They\u2019re my family and I consider myself a team leader. I\u2019m not afraid to talk to my teammates on and off the court as I consider communication to be a key aspect of basketball.”<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
