Laila Abdurraqib Laila Abdurraqib 5'7" | PG Lawrence Central | 2025 State IN , 5-8 2025, Ohio United 2024
A wing with good handles who can slither between multiple players with good body control. Able to get to the line as she can draw attention when she gets to the rim with either hand. Will pay attention to the little things, boxing out, following her shot and is a vocal leader. Has excellent range from the perimeter and is strong.
Ni’rah Clark, 6-3 2024, Ohio United 2024
A long and athletic player who does a lot of good things on the court. Defensively, she is capable of guarding multiple positions, and uses her athletic ability to block or alter shots around the paint. Seems to always think a play ahead, good basketball IQ and court sense. Loves to play fast, can push north-south and hurt you in many ways.
Avery Wilson Avery Wilson 5'10" | PF Nelson County | 2024 State KY , 5-10 2024, Overtime Performance 1
Has good hands and a soft touch around the basket. Able to step out to the perimeter as a threat and shows good body control. Can get to the rim, and get to the line. Able to connect on the free points. Long arms help her alter shots, can play bigger than she is. Athletic and has a good knowledge of the game. (pictured left)
Laiken Hardin Laiken Hardin 5'10" | CG Bourbon County | 2024 State KY , 5-9 2024, Overtime Performance 1
Really liked this players ability to control the pace of the game and direct traffic on the court. Runs the offense well and does the little things to help her team be successful. High energy and good motor, able to pass into the paint and use her teammates well. (feature photo above)
Wrigley Takats, 6-1 2024, Athlete Headquarters 2024- 1
A solid athletic post player with good hands and very solid footwork, able to create her shot. Wrigley is an aggressive player with good handles and is able to run the floor in open transition well. Long arms and able to rebound well. Efficient around the paint, has the tools to hurt you both offensively and defensively.
Jonilyah Chambers, 5-7 2024, Dayton Metro 2024
Very talented guard that is able to get to the rim. Strong physical player who can handle the ball well and will always play aggressive on both ends of the court. If she gets into transition, she can be difficult to guard in the open court.
Ma’kayla Williams, 5-6 2024, Dayton Metro 2024
Ma’kayla is another talented guard who was part of a high school program led by multiple freshman last season. She has a smooth game with good handles who can find her way through traffic on the court. Sneaky shooter with a nice touch from anywhere midrange out to beyond the arc. She has quick hands on defense and can deflect passes.
