These girls may be young in age, yet they have stepped into big roles in providing quality opportunities for their clubs. From playing travel ball to donning their high school uni, these girls have taken major steps in showing collegiate coaches and scouts who they are.
In the class of ‘25, the girls who are in the upper echelon of the class are already receiving D1 interest at such a young age. They haven’t let their recognition go to their heads though. They are still in the gym working, grinding away at their craft, as they look to build upon the skills and success that has gotten them to this point. With so many more games to be played in high school, look for these young ladies to hoop it up at a gymnasium near you.

Blackman | 2025

TN
(5’6/ PG/ Blackman)– A leader amongst most, she’s dynamic with the ball in her hands. Has a quick first step that enables her to unleash her mid-range game. Multi-level scoring threat that can draw the attention of defenders to free up her teammates. Hustler on the defensive end, she’s gonna give opponents 32 minutes of toughness every time she laces up her shoes. Hasn’t scratched the surface of her amazing potential, this kid is something special and looks to build upon the legacy of great Blackman point guards who’ve donned the orange and blue.
