But just because she averages double-digit rebounds, doesn’t mean that’s everything she does. Joining her knack for always finding missed shots is a strong game based around a stronger game in the post. This cache allows her different alleys of attack against all sorts of different opponents. She can even stretch the floor and give any team she’s on a chance for their point guard an iso opportunity. When she isn’t shooting a 3 however, she’s an athletic 5, capable of many up and under moves, while displaying the ability to step out and knock down the 10- to 12-foot jumpers.
Given how this list turned out, it took a lot for anyone to move up a significant amount, but based on Daniels’ summer showing, she was a more than worthy candidate for the big jump into the top 5.
Addie Adkins Addie Adkins 5'11" | PF Wayne | 2025 State WV , Wayne, SF, 5-11 (#11 to #7) – Already a menace from the 3-point line, she’s shown an even great consistency from behind the arc, as well as an increased willingness at driving the ball inside and shooting short shots with the W.Va. Thunder. But that’s not all. On top of her offensive game, her defensive game, which didn’t need any help, climbed up another level. She’s moving her feet and fitting into different defensive positions and could realistically defend all 5 spots when she returns to the court for Wayne in November. In terms of excitement, there are very few players I want to see back hardwood with the way they are playing more than Addie. On an interesting note, she krept significantly closer to her sister Brooke.
Kilah Dandridge Kilah Dandridge 5'8" | CG Saint Maria Goretti (Maryland) | 2025 WV , Spring Mills, SG, 5-7 (#16 to #6) – Dandridge (pictured above) is an all-around solid player. She brings plenty of different things to the floor, not just a cool attitude. She’s a powerful kid, who scans the floor before she makes her move. Once she figure out what she wants on offense, she can get anything done. Its not a matter of if she will attack, but when. On defense, she reads and moves with her opponents in step and more possession end without a bucket from her assignment. She doesn’t allow much space for a shooter to release a shot, and doesn’t allow drivers much space in the lane. Should the Cardinals return to the state tournament, expect Dandridge along with fellow sophomore Preslee Treadway Preslee Treadway 5'8" | SF Greenbrier West | 2025 State WV and junior Corin Edsell Corin Edsell 5'7" | CG Spring Mills | 2024 WV having had a big say in punching the ticket to Charleston.
Halle Crouse Halle Crouse 5'6" | CG Logan | 2025 State WV , Logan, SG, 5-6 (Unranked to #11) – Crouse radiates confidence. Glow shines everywhere. No matter what she is doing, she’s doing it with a surety uncommon in many freshmen. Taking over leading scorer duties? Done. Providing lock down help defense. No problem. Being the second-best player on a state championship-squad? Yup. All of it comes naturally. Instinticually, almost. There’s very little keeping her from being her best. I really can’t wait to see what she accomplishes when everyone returns to the court in July.
Addie “R” Davis Addie “R” Davis 5'8" | PG St. Marys | 2025 State WV , St. Marys, PG, 5-8 (#17 to #9) – Strength is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about St. Marys’ Addie Davis.
How can it not be?
For a freshman, her thick body allows her access to areas of the game many point guards just don’t have. She relies on her build while powering through opponents and finishing at the rim, often times drawing an and-one for her efforts. She also fires outlet passes full court that are on target and give her a good weapon in the transition game. Overall, she shows a lot of things coaches can look forward to in a few years. The biggest improvements of her game in AAU balls comes in the form of her willingness to adjust her game when she isn’t running the point. With a serious of dribble drives, penetrations and pump fakes that created confusion for defenders and opportunities for teammates, she’s just as deadline as a big scorer and creator as she is a floor general. Similar to the Thunder’s Dria Parker Dria Parker 5'10" | SF Spring Valley | 2025 State WV , she also hit her shots and found her teammates after drawing in defenders, too. It was the third straight tournament she revealed new pieces to her game. Right now, there are only two more experienced point guards I want on my team over her.
