Smith has a good skill level and really does a good job just playing the game to the fullest at all times. Peris never takes plays off and won’t even hesitate to grab a loose ball, rebound in traffic, dive on the floor or pickup a teammate off the floor. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-306017" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/A8E42C18-9476-438E-A1EC-074AE808B790.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171796" first="Yasmene" last="Clark"] - Christ Church </strong> Clark came back this summer to play some with FBC Carolina Elite on the Grassroots Circuit. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-300229" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/12434332-D485-4369-8F50-0C9E2BA7B693.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="196311" first="Kamari" last="Thompson"] - Southside HS (Greenville) (pictured on front) </strong> Thompson is a athletic and LIVE body at all times when she is on the floor. Kamari is always around the ball if it’s put-backs on the glass or defending the opponent. Thompson shoots the ball at a very productive high clip and finishes around the basket with ease. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-297297" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/25B6BA5A-41FC-43E3-BCE3-57E50E6BA022.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="261916" first="Ryian" last="Howard"] - Northwood Academy (Summerville) </strong> Howard will be wearing a Chargers uniform this season after transferring over from Cane Bay HS. Howard brings a blue collar mentality and toughness. Ryian plays a lot bigger than her size and isn’t afraid to draw contact and mix it up at times. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-200242" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/049B3299-807D-4411-8EB8-5D72169B9F50.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171787" first="Trinity" last="Delaney"] - AC Flora HS </strong> Delaney was out all spring and summer with a injury. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-286342" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/E2001747-2A7E-4EE5-975D-82217BA795F7-scaled-crop-1882x1236-1621338456-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171781" first="Ny’Keyah" last="Mitchell"]- Wade Hampton HS (Hampton) </strong> Mitchell averaged 11.4 ppg, 6.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists last season for the Estill HS Fighting Lady Gators. Mitchell recently transferred down the road to Wade Hampton HS. Ny’Keyah feels comfortable playing face-up to the basket and can knockdown the perimeter jumper. Mitchell has scored 1,306 career points in her high school career entering her junior year. Mitchell will join forces now with [player_tooltip player_id="171760" first="Shia" last="Kinard"] on the Red Devils roster. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-311799" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/45BA881C-7B6E-4C4E-B30F-45D44496021E.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171786" first="Tashiana" last="Farmer"] - Crestwood HS (Dalzell) </strong> Farmer is a RAW talent and didn’t play much at all this summer. Farmer is better now on the defensive end of the floor than offense. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-286624" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/675107D9-5723-4717-AAF3-A662B7B108B0.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="185432" first="Raven" last="Johnson"] - Blythewood HS </strong> Johnson can be rim a protector at times with her ability to cover the glass. Raven a long and rangy forward runs the floor very well. Johnson has great length and really plays active in the passing lanes. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-271268" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/6445FF20-7391-4C66-A8AF-857E96751AD1.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="266063" first="Skylan" last="Swindoll"] - Easley HS </strong> Skylan is a great mover-screener on the floor. She has the ability to pass the ball very well from the high post at times. Skylan will knockdown the elbow jumper and tends to have a great set of hands. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-301986" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/23CE992B-88D2-4FC5-99FE-BDD99739AF37-scaled-crop-1912x1256-1624786088-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="231024" first="Hillary" last="Offing"] - Dutch Fork HS </strong> Hillary likes to play with her back to the basket and does a good job of carving out space down in the paint. Offing ran with the SC hornets on the Grassroots Circuit this spring. Hillary has a good nose for the ball to manufacture points just on effort and put-backs at times. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-292023" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/4BBEAEC3-7220-47B8-BEED-64A0B00BD345-scaled-crop-1898x1246-1622478407-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="235090" first="Nadia" last="Burns"] - Legion Collegiate (Rock Hill) </strong> Burns had a really good summer patrolling the paint for the SC Future.
