Okay before anyone trips and says these are 2025- 2026 players, and “you don’t know if they’re going to continue playing basketball or be cheerleaders or swimmers”, that would apply only to the novice and misinformed, not me because THERE…

2025
Rylan Jones-6’0 PF
Jones upside is what grabs me, well that and the fact that she’s at “the magic number” which is 6’0 and one of the profiles many college coaches search for, you probably didn’t know that yet she finishes strongly around the basket, nice moves on the inside yet she also showed she could put it on the floor as well as defend and rebound
Faith Ford-6’0 C
Ford also has some pretty good upside to go with her size, she powers the ball to the basket inside the paint, also moves her feet well defensively inside or outside of the paint but her rebounding, on both ends, throwing the outlet on the money and running the floor, on both ends is a really good sign
Jasmine Gipson-5’9 PG
Gipson is long and athletic, well very athletic and when she jumped right in and played the passing lane, got the steal and made the lay-up, that showed me right there but she also attacks and finishes after contact, does a good job creating her shot under pressure and has a nice pull-up jumper but that heat on defense is something
2026
Amayah Garcia-5’9 SG
Garcia has a unique nickname, Sunshine, and it fits because when she’s on the court, I always see something bright and after watching her show she could shoot the ball from basically anywhere at a camp I had months ago, it was nice to see other parts of her game like court vision and handling the ball under pressure, keep in mind against older players but her taking it off the dribble was really solid
Jacy Abii-5’10 SF
Abii keeps the ball high, both parents played college ball and after talking with her mom, I told her I definitely got it because of her fundamentals yet her doing things instinctively has always stood out, she blocks shots, she reads the plays coming defensively and she rebounds strongly, with authority but she scores multiple ways around the basket and attacks off the dribble
Rieyan Desouze-5’6 PG
Desouze was called a #D1Lock in the 3rd grade by me, use the search bars on my website and of course, I was right yet she hasn’t even entered high school which is scary because she’s one of the top PG’s in the state RIGHT NOW. She thinks the game, understands how to control the tempo, and sees the floor, yeah she can score off the dribble and knock the jumper down but her POISE under PRESSURE is going to take her far
Jaidyn Gunter-5’6 PG
Gunter gave me a very good look, I knew she was good yet that explosiveness off the dribble just did it for me because she’s under control and has very good body control yet she also handles the ball well in the open court, under pressure, and can make the pass on the money with solid court vision but she also has a nice outside game to keep defenders on their toes
Salena Carrasco-5’8 PG
Carrasco impressed me as a 5th grader with her “floata” as well as having my initials yet hers are being stamped as an acronym as Scorer who Creates her shot while being guarded but she thinks the game, plays within herself, and understands how to score in the flow but that jumper, it’s a real jumper, is going to CREATE some issues in high school, trust me
Kamora Pruitt-6’0 SG
Pruitt can definitely “do it” multiple ways and let me go ahead and drop #BCSLock and throw away the key because she’s already at “the magic number” and is “long and athletic” I love both, so do college coaches and they give scholarships so what her INTANGIBLES? Okay she can score off the dribble, handles the ball under pressure very well, and can drop the mid to very long range but her timing on defense to block, deflect or alter shot, her defense and drumroll please, she plays the passing lane, all SIMS it up
