PICTURED: Eastern Illinois-commit Alanna Phillipo of Coach Hank DeSantis’s MA Huskies, a program that has captured TEN GymRat Championships at multiple levels and Age Divisions….and will be hunting to build on that title-count in 2024 as a part of the GymRat COLLECTIVE at GymRat LIVE & the GymRat CHALLENGE Here’s what the GymRat Evaluation Team had to say about PHILLIPO in the April GymRat REPORT “Alanna Phillipo (1) 5-8 guard, MA Huskies/Marianapolis Prep: Sets up her post-position teammates with good passes for easy layups. Showed no fear of taking, and making, big shots in key situations. Exhibited good communication work with teammates. High court IQ. She can play either guard position and is capable of handling strong defensive pressure. Offer from Eastern Illinois.” Photo, GymRat Staff LEGEND Eddie Quinn
