Owensboro Catholic eighth-grader Becca Greenwell created a recruiting buzz during last week's Republic Bank Holiday Classic at Lexington Catholic and already has scholarship offers from elite programs such as Louisville, North Carolina and Duke.
"I knew it was coming, but it's a little sooner than I thought it would be," Owensboro Catholic coach Ray Zuberer said. "I knew she was a really, really good player. I am just surprised there is this much attention so early."
In four games at LexCath, the 6-foot Greenwell, who can play every position, finished with 62 points and a tournament-high 44 rebounds -- including 15 against Pulaski Southwestern.
U of L coach Jeff Walz and two assistants watched her in the tournament, and Zuberer said Duke also had a coach in town. Both schools told him they had a scholarship offer on the table to Greenwell; she received one from North Carolina after a summer camp.
"It all really makes me nervous," Greenwell said. "I try not to think about it all and play my game, but it's pretty unbelievable they're all calling me."
