When you watch Windward play, it is hard to believe the Wildcats were not in the Smith Division. Granted they were thin in numbers, playing only five, but all are likely futures Division I signees, starting with the No. 3 player on the Full Court Fresh 50 for 2014, Jordin Canada. Canada is a big-time floor general with USA Basketball experience. She is tough to keep out of the lane on offense while willing to share the ball as need be. On defense, she is more than willing to get into the opposing point guard’s grill. Perhaps she does need to work on her perimeter shot as everything was to the basket as her team defeated (68-43) Miramonte of Orinda CA in the Division G final, scoring just 12 points but setting the tone. - Bob Corwin
2012 Battle in the Boro
Already a member of the USA Basketball program, Canada is a solid all-around player. She is a stable floor general who readily involves others but can score on her own by driving or shooting over the opponent. - Bob Corwin
Canada is a fantastic guard who is a great passer and can score the ball. She's been around so long that a few people forget she's only a 2014 but certainly a special player. - Kenny Kallina
