– Laniah is a strong-for-her-size, athletic, and physical combo guard. She can make shots from the perimeter, but she’s probably best attacking the paint and finishing around the basket. She has a developing handle and is creative off the bounce, plus she already absorbs contact fairly well. As she continues to learn the nuances of the game, she could become a high-level, multi-dimensional scoring threat. She also has the athletic ability to become a very good on-ball defender.

, both of whom are already committed to Valparaiso University. Swynn is likely still growing and could eventually find her way to 6-0 or 6-1. Offensively, she plays with versatility, as she can score it from the mid-post and short corners, plus she is comfortable around the perimeter. She’s another one who I think can use her length and athleticism to really affect the game defensively.

– Aly is another long, fluid wing prospect. She plays with a nice motor, good speed and quickness, and she’s always on the go. She has some touch outside, a solid handle in transition, and she can even initiate the offense in the half-court when necessary. She looks like she has some growth left in her frame, and based on where her all-around skillset is right now, I think she can become a nice-sized wing guard. Additionally, she is an effortful defender, and she’s a willing rebounder.

, and I think Jayden might still have another inch or two left in her. Jayden does a nice job of affecting games in a variety of ways. She does have a solid, developing perimeter skillset, so she can play outside some. She is also great in the mid-post, she’s a pursuing rebounder who can grab boards outside of her area, plus she’s a versatile defender who can take on multiple positions.

– Reagin is someone I saw briefly in the Spring, so I want to see her again next weekend against some of her better peers. My first impression was that she’s a quick, fast, and somewhat feisty little guard. She shot the ball well during that game, and she hit shots off the catch and off the bounce, plus she did a nice job of attacking the defense and finding open teammates at the rim. She certainly has the quickness to become a really nice on-ball defender for Northview this year.

– Trinity is a really nice point guard prospect who should put together a strong four years at Faith Christian. She has a wiry strength at her size, good length, and she’s quick and athletic. She plays with a really nice motor, a quiet toughness, and she just does what needs to be done. She likes to play on attack and get downhill quickly, but she can knock down the occasional perimeter jumper as well. Defensively, she is becoming an 84-foot defender who can turn opposing ball-handlers.

– Decatur Central has a whole slew of newcomers this season, and Naja could be as impactful as any of them. She is an athletically strong kid with a great motor, she’s willing to be physical, and she can do a lot of things inside of 15-feet. She still has a little back-to-the-basket game in her, and she explodes to the rim on moves. But she can also play in the mid-post and knock down the jumper or attack off the bounce. She is also a tough-nosed rebounder, and she can defend multiple positions.
