Justice Carlton Justice Carlton 6'1" | PF Seven Lakes | 2024 State TX (Cy Fair 15U Coop)
Carlton has just taken her game to another level, her hands and footwork have always been solid yet the mindset has changed, it’s more mature and she recognizes when she has a mismatch and what to do and by being vocal on the court, calling for the ball and getting in position, she finished over and over with players hanging on her
Aniah Alexis Aniah Alexis 5'8" | SG Cy Lakes | 2024 State TX (Cy Fair 15U Coop)
Alexis showed me her scoring ability at a middle school tournament a few months ago and that got her on The Watch List but playing on a next-level team, she still found ways to show me how I right I was, which is always important to me, and that was she could score in the flow consistently
Kennedy Evans Kennedy Evans 5'11" | SG Legion Prep Academy | 2024 State TX (Cy Fair 15U Coop)
Evans has an explosive jumper from anywhere on the court and her quick release and jumping ability enables her to get her shot off against anyone. Her range is unlimited, her strength and athleticism are a big plus because it lets her mix it up to take defenders off the dribble for layups or the pull-up
Madison McKinnon Madison McKinnon 5'8" | PG Fredricksburg | 2024 State TX (SA Lady Hoops 2024)
McKinnon impressed me the first time I saw her play in the 6th grade because she had poise and was a competitor but being skilled and playing smart played a big part as well so a couple of years later, I’m seeing her develop into more than a next-level point guard as she is understanding when to take over
Lauren Danz Lauren Danz 5'9" | PF Fredricksburg | 2024 State TX (SA Lady Hoops 2024)
Danz is a perfect example of “she plays bigger than what she is” and her ruggedness on the inside, her understanding of getting the right position for rebounds as well as her ability to finish over and over, that drop step is smooth, yet she also handled the ball in the open court and scored facing the basket
Kendall Sneed Kendall Sneed 5'7" | CG Hardin Jefferson | 2024 State TX (Cy Fair 16U Nike)
Sneed is turning into a monster and the scary thing is her upside ain’t nowhere near where it will be because she dissects the game play by play, she attacks from everywhere and mixes it up nicely with the stop and pop or just attacking the rim. Also, that long-range is getting deeper
Nicolette Polocheck Nicolette Polocheck 6'0" | PF Memorial | 2024 State TX (Just Play Elite)
Polocheck has the frame to do plenty of damage and she is definitely using it to her advantage. She scores on putbacks or creates her shots inside but what I also liked was her rebounding and throwing the outlet, sometimes finishing what she started and when you add the midrange is coming along …
Kemah Shaw Kemah Shaw 5'8" | CG Austin | 2024 State TX (AD Elite Future)
Shaw is just a bundle you have to deal with because she brings so much to the table on both ends, starting with unselfishness and comprehension, two important things to go along with a deadly pull-up as well as handling the ball under pressure but shed can see the floor and thread the needle for assists
Rian Forestier Rian Forestier 5'11" | SG Brandeis | 2024 State TX (Players First)
Forestier has several videos floating around on social media showing much of what I’ve already said, “she has a picture-perfect jumper that’s accurate and has a quick release” however videos don’t always tell the story and hers is just beginning because of her BB-IQ and wanting the ball in the clutch makes her a legitimate threat
