Within these recaps I will be listing out the roster that played together the most throughout the season. If a player switched teams midseason I will place them on the roster I felt like they were on the most. Over the next month I will be pushing these articles out once a day until I run out of teams. These stories will be in alphabetical order by program so All Iowa Attack is up first, followed by Beyond Ball, and so on. Up next in the series is the Elite group.

Ending Thoughts
Nicole McDermott — McDermott proved this summer why she was a sought after guard. She can simply score the ball from anywhere on the floor, and can do so whenever she wants to. Love her energy she shows at all times and her ability to rub off onto teammates. Crafty guard who can pretty much do it all.
Sara Faber — Faber is a supremely athletic off-ball guard who can get you points in bunches. Extremely quick and able to run the floor to score the ball but she can also shoot it in the half court. She plays with a ton of aggression and no matter the score keeps that aggression up.
Bailey Winter — In the few times that I saw her this summer I was really impressed with Winter’s ability to get to the rim with both hands. She has a frame that can both add and hold strength. She is also a solid shooter from behind the arc and I look for a big winter season from her.
Lindsey Eimers — If there is one word to describe Eimers its “aggressive”. She is always either looking to score the ball or get it to an open teammate. Really like the ability she holds to makes plays happen. She has a bit of length to her game and could become a player who is dominant on both ends of the floor. She’s a nice college prospect.
Abigail Barr — An interesting player from Illinois, I thought Barr played really well this summer in flashes. She is coming around but still needs to gain a little consistency within her game. Really like her ability to put it on the floor and get to the rim and will get even better as she adds strength.
Lydia Coatney — Coatney was a nice surprise this summer as she showed really solid poise and leadership with the ball in her hands. Great passer with the ability to thread the needle to her teammates. I really thought that she did a nice job at setting up the offense when she was tasked with doing so.
Calyssa Wright — I saw Wright for the first time at a team camp and then closely watched her the rest of the summer. She’s a thin but strong wing who can play pretty much any spot on the floor. Really solid as a driver right now and once that shot gains a little more consistency, she’s going to be really solid.
Kacey Eimers — Really solid frame and she can also really get the offense moving. Like her sister, she is also really aggressive with the ball in her hands but I thought that she moved really well without the ball too. She is going to be a player to watch this fall.
