Sasha Daniel (5’5’’, Seton Catholic)
Daniel is aggressive on the floor, she excels in the transition game and her energy is contagious. Daniel has a very decent handle and can use both hands to attack her opponent, which makes her very dangerous with the ball in her hands. During the event, she displayed athleticism, quickness, and the ability to score from all three levels. Daniel was the second leading scorer (10.6/gm) for the 4A Champions Seton squad this past season.
Talia Dial Talia Dial 5'10" | PF PHH Prep | 2022 State AZ (5’9’’, Paradise Honors)
Dial was one of the top scores in the state last year as a soph while averaging 21.3 points a game for Dysart. She is a good athlete who possess a versatile skillset. Dial has been a hidden gem on the west valley while she has been quietly adding to her game since she entered high school. She shot the ball well at the event and didn’t try to force her game in a showcase environment. Look for a breakout club season from Dial this summer.
Dea Pushkolli (5’9’’, Bella Vista Prep)
First time viewing of this prospect as Pushkolli recently moved from Kosovo. She has a ton of FIBA basketball experience and is a polished performer. Pushkolli is a big, physical guard with superb vision and an advance handle. She also showed that she can shoot the ball out to the 3 point line. Pushkolli currently holds multiple D1 offers.
Reagan Grimsley (5’11’, Millennium)
Grimsley continues to show improvement every chance we get to see her play. She is one of those players doesn’t need to dominate the ball to be effective. She has good length and lateral movement which allows her to defend multiple positions. Grimsley will definitely put in the effort of the boards and she does well in the transition game.
Kelsey Ericksen (5’5’’, Shadow Ridge)
Ericksen handles it well, is quick in all directions, sees the floor well and understand court spacing. She has an effective jumper and Ericksen plays with a lot of confidence. Her team won the championship in the event and fit in well with very unselfish play.
Ericksen let Shadow Ridge in scoring as a soph while making first team all region.
