Every year new players come to the forefront in the basketball world. Prep Girls Hoops takes a look at some new names to add to the database for future reference. These girls in the Palmetto State are some players that need some attention with some lasting first impressions here today from the Prep Girls Hoops Top 250 Expo in Myrtle Beach. [player_tooltip player_id="206609" first="Mingaile" last="Urmuleviciute"] (2022) - Trinity Collegiate (Darlington) Urmuleviciute she has been in the United States for 3 weeks now via Lithuania. Urmuleviciute has a great skill set and set of hands in the post. Urmuleviciute was able to handle the ball up the floor at times and shows to have a nice touch from the foul line. Urmuleviciute has a good nose for the ball and tends to keep the ball up high after rebounding it. Urmulevicciute will see plenty of recruitment come her away this season on the Lady Titans roster. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-211712" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/1B5C8F0A-5B96-4ADB-94CF-22F8DDF49EA8.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> [player_tooltip player_id="206617" first="Morgan" last="Kelly"] (2021) - Blythewood HS This was my first time seeing Kelly play after she said she played with SC Future on the Grassroots Circuit. Kelly was tougher than a $2 dollar steak at times today with her play. Kelly can bully guards with her play and showed to drop a few elbow jumpers at times. Kelly never took any plays off and always seemed to be very active away from the ball. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-211713" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/A5B83E75-F032-4FB3-B03F-A9F4E9D5405B.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> Danashia Wright (2024) - Lake Marion HS (Santee) Wright is a 2024 class member and plays for the Lady Gators. Wright likes to set up shop on the perimeter and knockdown some three pointers. Wright a left-handed shooting guard needs time to set her feet and felt very confident shooting it from behind the arc.
