Maddie Meisicky, 6-0 2022, Newark
Wow..this kid will be a special one. She’s already on her way with a multitude of ways to be productive. Maddie has great court awareness and knows where to be. She has good movement without the ball, and a high basketball IQ. She is a solid defensive player with active hands, and often gets overlooked on a team filled with next-level kids. Very strong from the perimeter, zone buster from the 3.
Gabby Razzano, 6-1 2023, Mason
I already raved about hos good Margo Mattes Margo Mattes 5'11" | CG OH is..maybe the best freshman I have seen this year. Not to be outdone is her teammate Gabby Razzano, who had a really good day on Sunday. Gabby also has solid range out to the arc and beyond, ahs great court awareness for her age and can score from anywhere inside the arc, as she has a nice midrange shot. Above average handles with both hands. Also has good 1v1 moves and can get to the rim to score.
Cecelia Hamilton, 5-7 2022, Eastlake North
A guard with solid range, and solid in other aspects of her game. Good rebounder, gets position. Point guard who can run the show and anticipates well. Has a quick step to get to the rim and finish. Plays well north-south in transition and can make things happen.
Grace VanSlooten Grace VanSlooten 6'3" | PF IMG Academy | 2022 State #23 Nation FL , 6-2 2022, Toledo Notre Dame
What can’t this girl do? At 6-foot-2, she can defend anyone on the floor, can score from anywhere. She can use her height to score on anyone, or can step out for a mismatch and bury the three. Grace is a consensus top three player in Ohio in her class. Great movement and defensively can alter shots with long arms.
Cotie McMahon Cotie McMahon 5'11" | SG Centerville | 2022 #28 Nation OH , 5-11 2022, Centerville
Another outstanding sophomore who along with Van Slooten and Mount Notre Dame’s KK Bransford KK Bransford 5'11" | PG Mount Notre Dame | 2022 State #6 Nation OH are the top 3 2022 players in Ohio. McMahon is a physically strong player with great footwork and moves in the paint. Can slash and score or hit the midrange. Always around the ball, major factor on the boards. Quick hands, good defender.
