Roster Breakdown
This is a very interesting roster as they have players primarily from the 2021 class, but they also have a few 2022s and a 2023. They are young and their kids playing up are very good. There isn’t a lot of height on the roster, but all of their players have a lot of length. I really like their scoring ability that they have up and down the roster as well. There are shooters everywhere on this roster and I think that this is a team that is going to score a lot of points.
One to Watch
I am going to have my eye on their eighth grader, Evyn Carrier. I have heard a lot about her and it has all been praise. Having her play up is a good thing for her because her game is going to be tested. She’s a very solid forward who creates a big target for herself and cuts to the basket well. Very soft hands and she has the ability to shoot the ball just a bit. I look for a big summer out of her before she makes herself known in high school.

Schedule Breakdown
I like this schedule for this group. I suspect that they might add a few events, but they also might run with these four tournaments. This is a good schedule for this group as they’ll be playing some of the top competition in the nation. This is a team that should stick together for the next few years, especially the younger groups and this schedule will allow them to gel early on.
