Braxcynn Baker Braxcynn Baker 5'11" | CG Lowell | 2024 State MI (2024, CG, Lowell)
Baker exploded on the scene last year at the Top 250 and has continued a rapid climb up all recruiting boards. She’s a well rounded player that can contribute in so many ways. Baker is a good old fashioned stat sheet stuffer that will hit basically every statistical category game in and game out. She should be considered a national target.
Kara Bartels Kara Bartels 6'3" | PF Zeeland West | 2023 State MI (2023, PF, Zeeland West)
I fell in love with Bartels game last year at the event. She moves so well, whether it be going to the rim after setting a screen or sliding over and playing strong help side defense in the paint. Bartels is one of the most gifted post players in the class of 2023.
Lexie Bowers Lexie Bowers 5'7" | CG Kent City | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Kent City)
Bowers is another national target that had the talent to be considered a top 5 player in the state of Michigan. She can control the game from the backcourt in a variety of ways. Bowers is an elite shooter that’s always a threat from behind the arc.
Jordyn Byrd Jordyn Byrd 5'7" | SG Lansing Waverly | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Lansing Waverly)
Byrd is a prospect that a lot of coaches should put on their board. She’s a shifty lead guard that likes to poke, prod, and pressure the defense. Byrd has solid handles and good first step speed. These things allow her to put the defense on their heels.
Brooke Simpson (2024, SG, Belding)
Simpson is a prospect that has emerged as a high level national target. In my opinion, she has top 100 in the country type potential…..easy. Simpson is one of the most well rounded and versatile players that I’ve seen. She’s not afraid of the big stage and has been seen dominating events against upperclassmen.
