Here’s a new name to file away for 2024 recruiting,
Adhel Tac. Tac is a 6-5” center from South Grand Prairie. Currently, she is listed on ESPN's HoopGurlz as the 12th best overall recruit and the 2nd best post player in the 2024 class.
I first noticed her name on ESPN’s 2024 class rankings on Tuesday. Per Tac’s Instagram, she wasn’t being followed by any of the Texas coaches. However, last night, Elena Lovato and Tac are now following each other on IG.
Here is a snippet from Score Book Live on Tac’s performance last season in the State 6A game between South Grand Prairie and Summer Creek:

“In a matchup between two of the state’s most experienced girls basketball squads, South Grand Prairie’s lone sophomore provided the pivotal difference. Adhel Tac put on a display down low in one of the top performances of her young career.
The sophomore tallied a 21-point, 13-rebound double-double in her state tournament debut to help the Warriors crush Humble Summer Creek in a 65-41 blowout 6A state semifinals win Friday night at the Alamodome.
“We try to get Adhel touches inside and that's a testament to our guards that they're willing to give it up because we have a lot of talented, athletic guards,” Raven said. “But I mean, Adhel can be unstoppable when she wants to be so that's a concept for us. Every game we try to establish that inside presence.”
“She's a big factor for our offense and we look for her most of the time,” senior guard Jahcelyn Hartfield said. “That just makes it easy on us.”
In the She Got Game Classic last December, Tac was listed as one of the tournaments stand-out performers;

Tac put the gym on notice today doing it all for the South Grand Prairie group. Tac finished with 20 pts and 10+ rebounds, Tac’s presence was felt on the defensive end as she owned the paint getting a handful of blocks & disrupting a lot of shots down low remember the name!
YouTube videos:
Although most of the clips are of Tac on offense, I love her defensive game. Take note of her agility and long arm span starting at the 11 second mark.
This short video clip shows how well Tac uses both her right and left hands, her footwork and her ability to block shots.
