2027
Mackenzie Teuton Mackenzie Teuton 5'5" | PG Travis | 2027 State TX
Teuton is a prototypical point guard on one hand yet she also can be a scoring point guard on another, yes, she uses both hands. Her court vision and ability to control the tempo has always stood out yet the 3 ball continues to drop from deeper and her scoring off the dribble, again with either hand, keeps her a threat
Lyla Delafosse
Delafosse drops ” de la floata” so smoothly yet she’s a long and athletic guard with a very nice first step. That in itself creates problems because she can blow by defenders or drop the jumper with a hand in her face. Mid to long-range, check, also showed the EURO, yet her “on the ball” defense was amongst the best at the event
Amierah Moore
Moore can take it to another level in the blink of an eye, she’s long and athletic which will always be the base. She adds UPS and rebounds on both ends yet she delivers off the dribble using solid body control and does it after contact. Her explosive first step to attack is HUGE yet her court vision as well as playing the passing lane are very nice
Bailey Burns
Burns was “burning up the nets from deep” yet she keeps adding going in attack mode which is a mismatch waiting to happen. As she understands how to use her size to her advantage, both in the paint as well as from the outside, she’s going to create some issues yet on top of all that, her court vision is taking off
Kamdyn Flora Kamdyn Flora 5'8" | SG Kinkaid | 2027 State TX
Flora was called a #D1Lock by me a long time ago, I’m just that good yet she keeps getting better and is flirting with the #BCS hashtag. Her maturity definitely stands out, she can take the defender to the basket using either hand and also finish with either but that stop-and-pop jumper in transition is nice, and so is the mid to long-range
Sydney Marshall Sydney Marshall 5'10" | SF Kinkaid | 2027 State TX
Marshall is facing the basket and dropping jumpers, plus she’s also defending outside the paint, two huge PLUSES, yet don’t get it twisted, she still understands positioning and basically dominates on the inside by using nice hands and footwork as well as powerful finishes. Those finishes include putbacks, yes she rebounds on both ends and scores with players literally hanging on her
2028
Brooklyn Wong
Wong handles the ball very well under pressure and at times was dazzling doing it. She understands the simple thing that translates into big ones, like creating her shot under pressure and dropping it with a hand in her face. I’m talking mid to long-range jumpers yet she also does a good job at setting the defender up to go by them and score
Bernita Byrd
Byrd was flying high, in more ways than one, and I have so many stars in different colors, she could have a flag, yet here’s a real FLAG, she’s hard to stay with-in transition so scoring off the dribble acrobatically got me going. Why asked the novice. Well, it’s simple because she handles the ball so well that the change of pace comes naturally. Add in her court vision as she made 30-foot passes for assists look easy plus that JUMPER is hard to handle, mid to long-range
Jaelyn Sowells
Sowells stands above “the magic number” which is 6’0 for those of you just joining or haven’t paid attention. She’s also “long and athletic” and that combination in itself will have countless coaches paying attention. She rebounds on both, love seeing her go after the ball yet she went after shots and blocked, altered, and (or) deflected some. She scored around the basket better so I see the progression as well as the scary upside
Natalia Mireles
Mireles did a good job attacking the basket and in the open court, she showed the “turbo” to blow by defenders. She also showed a deceptive first step to attack in the set and finish after contact, yes her body control played a part in that. She also showed she could score from the outside her mid to long-range was nice
