It appears two different types of criteria are being used in this debate - one is college potential and the other high school performance.
It should be clear that Morris has the biggest upside as far as college with her size, skills and potential for continued improvement. Smith was as good of a high school player last season as Morris and perhaps better. Her performance in the regional tournament, however, probably left a lot of people wondering what all the fuss was about, especially if they didn't see her play several times during the regular season.
There are hundreds of examples, but if you remember the late 80s you may have watched Richie Farmer and Allan Houston in the state tournament. Farmer was as good of a high school player as Houston and maybe better, but Houston was clearly the superiod college prospect and went on to play in the NBA.

I would rate Madden as the top player in the region with Morris just ahead of Smith for second.
