Ava Renninger Ava Renninger 5'6" | PG Archbishop Wood | 2024 NY |Central PA Dynamite|5’6”|PG|’24
I’ve watched Renninger a few times over the spring and summer, and she is a very explosive scoring point guard. She keeps her center of gravity low, can easily get into the mid-range, and is an efficient shot maker from that area. Renninger is also a sniper from deep. Off the catch or dribble, Renninger doesn’t have difficulty getting her shot off. One of the most underrated parts of Renninger’s game is how good she is at getting to the free throw line. She does not shy away from contact and uses her body well to absorb impact, draw the foul and get a shot attempt at the rim.
Jenna Muha Jenna Muha 6'1" | PF Shade-Central City | 2023 NY |Central PA Dynamite|6’1”|PF|’23
Muha is a skilled forward who can do significant damage inside with her good footwork and soft finishing touch. She also has a smooth perimeter game and can exploit mismatches on the outside if she’s being guarded by a big. Muha has three-point range and is an aggressive rebounder who secures possessions on both ends.
Adriana Bristow|NJ Shoreshots|5’7”|CG|’25
I first saw Bristow at Mohegan Sun last month and liked what I saw from her off the ball. Bristow set hard screens and rolled aggressively to the basket, where she finished strong at the rim. Bristow showed the ability to score at all three levels and was an intelligent playmaker in the high post. She consistently made crisp passes from that area and located open shooters and cutters.
Skyla Tuthill Skyla Tuthill 5'11" | SG Winston-Salem Christian National | 2025 State NC |Team Curry|5’11”|SG|’25
Tuthill has excellent size and strength for the 2 guard spot and one of the sweetest jump shots in the gym. She is comfortable anywhere behind the three-point arc and isn’t shy to pull the trigger, even with a hand in her face. Tuthill isn’t a one-dimensional player who relies solely on her jumper. She is comfortable taking her defender off the dribble, knifing into the paint, and she is a good finisher through contact. Tuthill recognizes she has good upper body strength and takes full advantage when attacking.
Shania Howard Shania Howard 5'7" | SG Holy Cross | 2025 State NewE |CBC New Haven|5’7”|SG|’25
I liked Howard’s athleticism and body control around the rim. She converted some impressive finishes on bigger defenders and showed adequate footwork around the basket that kept the opponent guessing. Howard’s effort and energy when sprinting the floor led to those crafty finishes aforementioned. Howard gave CBC an immediate spark once she entered the game.
Lily Milewski Lily Milewski 6'0" | PF Conwell Egan Fairless Hills, PA | 2025 PA |Mid-Atlantic Magic|6’0”|PF|’25
I was highly impressed with Milewski at Mohegan Sun. She is a mobile big who can effectively play both sides of the ball. What I liked the most about Milewski’s game were her hands. I saw her play against the Honey Badgers, who are a tough, pesky defensive unit, and Milewski was strong with the ball and kept itl high when catching on the block. Milewski is also a good rim protector who times her jump well and forces the opposition to take bad shots.
