A big strong guard with a great handle and amazing court vision. She’s a gifted scorer but seems to enjoy watching her teammates score off one of her signature no-look laser beam passes whizzing by the defenders’ ears. Playing up in the 9th grade division in Milwaukee last weekend, she was clearly the best player on the court as she got to the basket at will or pulled up from well behind the 3-point line hitting nothing but the bottom of the net. Her ability to rebound her position sparked fast break opportunities that led to easy baskets for her teammates. This top 2025 prospect has all the tools to excel at the next level once she puts it all together.
Lindsey Harvey – wing, Crossfire Tusler 2025
She currently comes off the bench for her Crossfire team, but her impact is felt immediately. She is a Swiss Army Knife type of player as she has multiple ways of putting her stamp on the game. She stands about 5’9” and has a decent handle and nice touch from outside. Where she really makes her mark is on the glass and her ability to block shots. Her willingness to rebound and lead the break is invaluable. She will not wow you with athleticism, but quicker guards find out the hard way once they think they have blown by her as she plays angles well and just simply meets them at the rim to swat away their shot attempts. She plays her current role well but. if needed, can take over a game on both sides of the ball.
Ellie Davis – post, North Tartan Elite 2025
Not many kids these days want to bang and do all the dirty work that does not show up on the stat sheet; this isn’t one of them. Ellie stands about 5’10” and you can tell she has been working out as she is not one to be pushed around. She has a high motor and runs baseline to baseline to either contest a shot, be the recipient of a pass for a layup or snatch an offensive rebound and power it up for the and-1 opportunity. North Tartan ran up against a battle-tested Minnesota Stars Hill team in the Spring Showdown with as many people as allowed in the venue bringing the energy. The outcome did not go North Tartan’s way, but Ellie showed she will not back down from any challenge. She is still raw from an offensive standpoint, but her ability to rebound, defend and make layups will do while she continues to develop her offensive game. Keep an eye out for this one as her upside is through the roof.

– combo guard, Minnesota Fury Blue 2025
Confidence just oozes from this kid as she is coming off an impressive high school season with the Maple Grove Crimson. The lights were not too bright for Ode as she did not shy away from the opportunities given to her on a team filled with veteran leadership and girls with years of varsity experience. I asked someone close to the program to describe her, and his comment was, “she’s special”. During summer workouts she was the 1st kid in the gym, last kid out. She started as a defensive stalwart who has morphed into a load on the offensive end. She shoots the 3 with consistency and has an unstoppable spin move once she gets into the lane. This 2025 top prospect has a ton of tricks in her bag, and it will be a treat watching her work her magic.
Rory Goddard- guard, Metro Stars 2025
This kid walks around with the swagger of a chiseled veteran. She has a deceptively quick first step and can finish at the basket with either hand. Standing at about 5’9” she can rebound and push the ball up the court and finish with a textbook Euro step or drop it off to a teammate for the bucket. She plays under control and rarely allows the defense to speed her up. When she is not beating her defender off the dribble, she is stepping out beyond the arc and knocking down the 3 ball at a consistent clip.
