Gianna Kuhn – Class of 2023 – Canal Fulton Northwest
Gianna is a long tweenerish type of prospect who has the size and physicality + body movements of a forward, but the game of a guard. She can initiate the offense for her team, but also is more than capable of playing off of the ball and attacking the rim as a wing-scorer. Defensively, Kuhn can guard multiple positions all over the floor – she is an intriguing process.
Leena Patibandla Leena Patibandla 6'1" | CG Massillon Jackson | 2023 State OH – Class of 2023 – Massillon Jackson
Leena was one of the best players at the event. Already holding multiple Power 5 offers after a great spring and summer season with her loaded Buckeye State Blast 2023 group – Patibandla is one of the best HS girls basketball passers that you will ever see. She gets off of her feet quickly to block shots and make jumpers. She is a special talent who has grown organically by surrounding herself with the right people and dominating on the biggest stages.
Maya Dexter – Class of 2023 – Tallmadge
Dexter is a point forward who can play the lead guard role for her team or go on the block and score against smaller defenders. She is a physical finisher with the ball in her hands and an aggressive defender who helps her team with ball-pressure and a high basketball IQ away from the play.
Sidnee Bowden – Class of 2023 – Canton McKinley
Sidnee has improved so much – just in this off-season. She is truly a position-less player. It would be easy to label her as a “5” because of her tremendous size and frame – but she has soft hands, a smooth jumper and a high passing ability that you would see in guards. As Sidnee continues to improve her conditioning and coordination – she could truly turn into a high-end prospect.
Paris Stokes (pictured above) – Class of 2023 – Canton McKinley
Stokes played up against the 2022’s at the event and was still one of the best players at Wooster. She is a lightning-quick guard who hunts scoring opportunities with the ball in her hands and by creating turnovers off of pressure on the defensive end. Paris can get to the rim whenever she wants – while she usually looks to score, she can find teammates for easy looks, as well.
