Name: Asia Durr – Grad Year: 2015

Location:Douglasville, Ga. – School: St. Pius X

Current Position: SG – Projected Position: SG

Strengths

Durr has continued to work on the ability to use her right hand to create scoring opportunities. *Photo by Ty Freeman

A 5-foot-10 scoring guard, Durr is one of the best scorers in the sophomore class nation wide. With her size, Durr makes it tough for opposing defenders as she can rise up and make shots over the top of smaller guards. She’s been shooting the 3-pointer well as of late and is always a threat to attack the rim off of the bounce. Durr’s ability to finish plays around the basket is uncanny. The five-star prospect has shown that she can also help handle the basketball against pressure as well.

Area To Improve

Durr excels at beating defenders off of her left-hand dribble drive. Continuing to work on using her right hand to attack as well will be a point of emphasis for her over the next six months. Adding the ability to finish consistently at the rim with her right hand through contact will add at least a couple of scoring opportunities per contest to Durr’s game.

The Bottom Line

Durr is a bigtime scorer who is in a position to be the premier scoring guard in the class of 2015. There aren’t but a handful of guards regardless of class who can make the type of plays that Durr makes at this point in her career. Look for her recruitment to continue to take shape as schools flock to her games this club season to evaluate her play.

CAA Power Rankings: College Basketball Week 12

1 of 12

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

With the 2012-2013 men’s college basketball season now in full swing, the Colonial Athletic Association has had plenty of exciting moments, season-changing injuries and buzzer-beaters.

And, naturally, there has been plenty of change in the conference power rankings lately, as well. Many teams have looked pretty different on the court than they did on paper during the preseason, and that’s been the main reason for all the fluctuation.

Now, multiple weeks through CAA play, it's pretty evident that any team can win in this conference on any given night. Because of that, the conference standings are looking nowhere near where most expected them to look back when the preseason standings and awards were announced in October.

All this new construction in the power rankings definitely proves that there are most likely around six or seven teams who could realistically contend for the regular season conference championship. In the following slides, we look at how each team fared against their previous opponents and look forward to the week ahead.

Jake Fischer is the CAA Correspondent for Rant Sports-NCAA Basketball. Throughout this 2012-2013 men’s basketball season, he will be contributing weekly CAA Power Rankings every Thursday. He also hosts the CAA Relay Podcast. Make sure to follow Jake on Twitter @JakeLFischer .
