(MI): Williams is such a smooth player- she just glides while running- and a strong motor that goes all out, all game! Love her court awareness, locates her teammates quickly, and has a shooter mentality. Great feel for the game, hits the perimeter shots, and with transition speed she creates strong moves around the basket. Defensively she shines as well!
Jekiah Mack- 5’9, 2022, Michigan Goonies 17U, L’anse Creuse H.S. North (MI): A fierce competitor with very light feet! She’s so fast, handles the ball well, shoots nice mid-range to 3’s. But her defense. Wow. This is her bread and butter! She sticks to her opponents, which creates both headaches and turnovers- and results in easy transition buckets for Mack and her teammates. Great player!
Uriah Jennings Uriah Jennings 5'8" | CG Mayfield Heights | 2023 State OH – 5’8, 2023, Team Evolution United 17U, Mayfield Heights H.S. (OH): This quick combo guard can take care of business! She is a scoring threat anywhere on the court, and can turn on jet speed in a flash! Knows when to pull up for jumpers, when to penetrate, just a smart decision maker! Excellent defender- picks pockets and turns them into easy points. Remember her name! (Featured Photo)
Jac’ana Anderson- 5’10, 2022, Team Evolution United 17U, Perry H.S. (OH): Anderson’s aggressive style is so fun to watch! Her spin moves and footwork on the block, and ability to easily muscle her way around defenders is impressive. She’s a bucket! No question, Jac’ana is a difficult assignment for opponents to contain- nice defender as well, blocks shots, hungry for rebounds.
Madi Taylor- 5’10, 2022, Athlete Headquarters 17U, Northview H.S. (OH) She’s got the complete package, and has the skills and mentality to compete at the next level. Taylor has a high basketball IQ, knows where to be on the floor by her movement and shot selection. Consistent and pretty outside shot- 3’s, mid-range, drive coast to coast, transition buckets. Defensively solid!
