Kimora Love 2025 A&M Consolidated High School (College Station Elite)
Kimora is an intriguing wing prospect with her ability to play on the perimeter and make the right decisions to set up her teammates, but also how well she attacked the rim with a live dribble and the consistency she showed on the interior. She finished through contact down low, and calmly knocked down free throws whenever she was fouled. I was very impressed by her willingness to rebound on both ends of the court. She was great at keeping her head up to attacking space on the fast break, but also making the right outlet pass on the fast break to allow her team to have success on the fast break. The best thing that I noticed about her game from my time on the sideline was her curiosity and the questions she asked her coach to better understand defensive assignments and where she should be when she does not have the basketball on the offensive end.
Maddie Thorton 2025 Klein Cain High School (Elite 365 Red)
Maddie is an aggressive wing/power forward with her stout frame and her ability to handle the ball and play out of the high post. Her team can run their offense through her, she makes good decisions and smooth passes to find cutting teammates or find her shooters open on the backside of the court. Thorton showed an ability to attack the rim with a live dribble and finished at the rim at a very high level. I was very impressed by her natural ability to finish, even when she is going at her top speed and maneuvering around her defender. When she operates with her back to the basket, she attacks a one on one matchup with speed and decisiveness. She knows if she goes quick, the help defense cannot come and allows her to go up and finish in the paint. She even displayed a tight handle, and explosiveness out of the triple threat. She routinely turned the corner on her opponents and got them on her hip and then finished at the rim.
Kenley Hoot 2025 Tomball High School (Elite 365 Red)
Kenley is a lanky wing who can handle the ball on the perimeter and score off the bounce, but also use her frame to dominate down low. I was very impressed with how well she scored and hunted for her shots in the midrange, especially after attacking the basket and forcing them to cut off driving angles. On the defensive end of the court, she is a stout defender with an ability to reject shots on the interior but also clean the glass. Hoot is a great and willing rebounder for her position, which allows her team to run the fast break knowing she is down there to grab the ball and make the right outlet pass.
Zoe Dauer 2025 Tomball High School (Elite 365 Red)
Zoe is an impressive wing prospect with her ability to dominate on the interior, but also create for her teammates on the perimeter and dance around her opponents with a live dribble. I was very impressed with the ease in which she turned the corner on her opponents, routinely getting into the teeth of the defense with her handle. She made great decisions with the basketball in her hands, making the extra pass when necessary, or attacking a weak closeout and getting into the paint and finishing. She has a great touch on the interior, allowing her to finish over taller defenders with a floater, or go up strong against smaller guards. She hunts contact with her left side of her body, allowing her absorb the hit and finish in the paint. She lived at the free throw line with this method, and showed off her confidence and ability to slash, however I would like to see her work on her consistency with her left hand. I would also like to see her tighten up her shooting mechanics from the outside, at time she seems to use two hands to push her shot up.
Kayla Yeatherman 2025 Clear Springs High School (Gulf Coast Legacy)
Kayla is an intense and aware wing prospect who showed an ability to dominate on the defensive end of the court. She is an elite help side defender, coming over at just the right time to wreak havoc and force her opponents to pick up her dribble or turn the ball over. I was very impressed with how mobile she was for her size, allowing her to take on the best opponent on the perimeter or in the paint. She has active hands that smartly stab at the ball, not too often to draw fouls, but often enough to keep her opponents on edge. On the offensive side of the court, she showed an ability to willingly move without the basketball to space the floor and attack weak spots in the defense. She is an aggressive player down low, allowing her to scrap and come up with easy second chance points. She showed an ability to handle the ball on the break as well, getting by two opponents and finishing at the rim. She is not someone you want to be in front of when she has her eyes set on the rim!
