Ambrosia Cole Ambrosia Cole 5'5" | CG Lubbock Monterrey | 2026 State TX -5’5
Cole was simply COLD with the ball as the HEZ, the shake, and bake, the stutter step, all of that while creating her shot yet her explosiveness off the dribble all played a role in her being hard to contain yet she understands how to control the tempo, yeah she can push it in the open court and throw passes on the money but she can also run the set and her court vision was one of the best at the event, oh yeah, mid to long-range, count it
Kendall Graham-5’0
Graham caught my eye years ago when called her a #D1Lock and I heard rumblings about her size from those who are clueless yet when I hashtag #sizedontmatter a picture of her should pop up because”she can flat out play”. In the open court, she’s a nightmare to defend because of her ball-handling and the way she accelerates to the basket yet she’s under control and has very good body controls her acrobatic finishes are worth the price of admission. She sees the floor and sets teammates up for “gimmes” yet she also can score mid to long-range and as a treat, Google Porsche Landry and D’Franz Smart for some knowledge
Sarah Brown-5’6
Sarah had me smiling, the song is old as I play on words but those blistering passes are never old as she threaded the needle and made it look easy but she also handled the ball under pressure, read the floor nicely, and just kept everything in order because she’s poised under pressure yet applied pressure off the dribble to make those passes or score and on the flip, she did a good job applying heat on defense
Jamie Solomon-5’3
Solomon also grabbed the #sizedontmatter hashtag because I love how she understood how to avoid the trap and make the right pass while being tightly defended yet it seems like the tighter the defense was, the more it pumped her up to just go at the defender so she finished strongly, she passed off the dribble for assist opportunities and she showed she could score from the outside which will keep the defense honest
Mackenzie Donald-5’6
Donald is more of a combo yet she’s so smooth, she definitely can run the 1 but peep this, she’s also powerful with no roof on her ceiling which is scary, for defenders because of where she is right now. Her ability to score off the dribble and finish after contact is nice, so is her court-vision and throwing 30 plus foot passes on the money as well as zipping the ball between multiple defenders says a lot, so does her mid to long-range
