Brooklyn Harpe Brooklyn Harpe 6'0" | CG Sioux Falls Washington | 2023 State SD , 6’0 2023, SD Network BlueStar 16u-Greg, Harpe had a great summer season. She picked up where she left off from the high school season. She has a natural and aggressive scoring ability. Harpe finds ways to attack the basket on any defender. She can create off the dribble, shot the three and post up well for a guard. Very much improved as a perimeter player and can score from all three levels.
Emilee Fox Emilee Fox 5'8" | CG Mt.Vernon/Plankinton | 2024 State SD , 5’8 2024, SD Attack 16U, “Baby Em” is a certified bucket. On numerous occasion Fox put up 20 and 30 points during a tournament. She’s very crafty which allows her to get in and out of space. Has a nasty hesitation and a mean step-back. Plenty of D1 have taken notice.
Reese Ross Reese Ross 6'1" | SF St. Thomas More | 2023 State SD , 6’1 2023, North Tarten EYBL 16U, Ross is another “On The Rise” player. She spent her summer playing for North Tarten EYBL. Ross has one of those in-between games. She long and can defend. She can shoot the mid-range at a high rate. She also has a solid and effective quick first step.
Jaidyn Dunn Jaidyn Dunn 6'1" | PF Sioux Falls Jefferson | 2024 State SD , 6’2 2024, SD Network BlueStar 16u-Greg, Dunn has expanded her game to the outside, both on offense and defense. She is one of the few players in the area that can guard all five positions, along with creating her own shot. Much improved three-point shooter and diver over the summer. Dunn’s defensive adjustments are next level.
Addison Klosterbuer, 5’11 SD Attack 16U, Klosterbuer game has improved tremendously. She always has been a capable shooter but now she can shoot shoot! When she steps into the gym, everyone announces “Shooter in the Gym!” She’s added some bounce to her game with an array of finishing moves.
16U All-Dakotas Second Team
Brooklyn Kruse, 6’3 2023, United Sports Academy1oth Elite, Kruse is size, athleticism and skills all rolled into one. She’s a high level shot blocker and rim protector. Not only does she control the paint defensively, she commands plenty of attention offensively. Kruse knows how to keep the ball high on rebound and high post action. Her height give her the advantage when starting fast breaks.
Zoey Gerry Zoey Gerry 6'0" | SF Madison | 2023 State SD , 5’10 2023, Sacred Hoops-Then Ho, Gerry is a workhorse and plays the game hard. She has a really good mid-post game. She reminds me of a throw back NBA small forward. You know the ones that post up like bigs but plays around the arc. Another tweener type of player with underrated passing abilities.
Alexus Motley Alexus Motley 5'7" | CG Sioux Falls Washington | 2023 State SD , 5’8 2023, SD Network BlueStar 16u-Greg, Motley is thee fastest and quickest girl in transition. It hard to contain her in the open court. One of the better athletes around, super athletic. Motley will cause havoc on defense making the opposition uncomfortable. Her half-court offense has improved dramatically. Can finish through and around defenders with ease.
Maggie Taylor Maggie Taylor 6'3" | C Hill City | 2024 State SD , 6’3 2023, SD Network BlueStar 16u-Greg, Taylor is a true post player. She gets position well and fishes high around the basket. She’s developed a mid-range jumper, a go-to up/under and mid-post jab step. Extremely effective in the paint!
Emma Yost Emma Yost 5'11" | PF Wagner | 2023 State SD , 2023, South Dakota Attack 16U, Yost made sound improvements throughout the summer season. She flirted with her outside game more. Her squad didn’t have too much size and with her primary position as being a post, she had to get comfortable on the outside. Yost did that and more. She a capable perimeter option now, which will help out tremendously during her high school season.
16U All-Dakotas Third Team
Taliyah Porter, 5’9 2025, Skill 360, Porter played up two grades this summer and held her own. She’s super quick with a great first step. Porter attack anything in front of her and does so without fear. Tough on the defensive end with her long wing span, makes Its hard for players to get around her.
Bri Simpson, 5’8 2023, SD Network BlueStar 16u-Greg, Simpson stock has been rising every since her high school (Marshall, MN) team made it to the state championship in Minnesota. Simpson is a great on ball defender. She has strong and quick hands and is not afraid to pick up full court on defense. Her strength really shows when she’s attacking the paint. “Smaller” guards normally have trouble with contact, not Simpson. She absorbs it, seeks it and demolishes it. Once she’s to the rim, you can almost count it as an AND One, as she is a 85% free throw shooter.
Sam Ehlers, 2023, United Sports Academy 10th Elite Ehlers can really fill it up. Its not flashy or eye popping but when its all said and done she’ll probably be around the 16-20 points range, each game!
Allison Undlin Allison Undlin 6'4" | C Mohalll-Lansford Sherwood | 2023 State ND , 2023, ND Attack 16U, Undlin has great size and mobility. She long enough to guard post/forwards but athletic enough to guard wings. Very sound offensively and plays her role very well.
Riley Batta, 5’10 2023, United Sports Academy 10th Elite, Earned a hand full of tournament standouts on the PGH Circuit. She was a steady and highly effective scorer for USA. Batta is an up and comer for sure.
