Highlights
Lydia not only knocks down open 3’s, but she shoots it off the bounce as well as anyone in her class. She has good size and enough confidence to go around. Missing a few shots in a row does not deter her, and that’s the mentality you need in a shooter. Shooters shoot!!
Highlights
I know, I know, “she’s a scorer”, not a shooter! If that’s your take, you my friend, are wrong! Ode has put so much work into her shot that it’s almost not fair that she’s virtually unguardable now. In the words of the great Mark Jackson, “hand down, man down!” If you give her any daylight she’s letting it fly with above average returns!
Highlights
A 6-footer with range? Yes please! She had a stacked squad that included Jordan Ode Jordan Ode 5'11" | CG Maple Grove | 2025 State MN , Nora Pederson Nora Pederson 5'7" | SG Mounds Park Academy | 2024 State MN and Aduke Ojullu Aduke Ojullu 6'1" | SF Lakeville North | 2025 State MN , so life was pretty chill for her as all she had to do was get her feet set, hands ready and let it fly!
While Ehrman has clearly worked hard on putting the ball on the deck, make no mistake about it, she’s a lethal snipper by trade. Shooters usually have a favorite spot or two that they’re really comfortable with, well for Rae, that’s where ever she catches the rock! She’s absolutely one of the best shooters in her class.

Cink put on an absolute clinic at the Top 250 knocking down long range bomb after long range bomb! I found myself seeking her out no matter what court she was on and when I located her, she didn’t disappoint; “Another one,” in my DJ Khalid voice. Cink has what we call, “in the gym range”. Look at her profile pic, she has a ball in her hand, nuff said!
