Yasmine Allen Yasmine Allen 6'0" | SG Archer | 2024 State GA – G/F (6’0/2024/Forest Park HS-GA)
When it came to elite-level scoring, Yasmine was absolutely a joy to watch as she put on a clinic on how to score. She displayed how to get it done at all levels, unlocking and unleashing a lot of tools out of her toolbox. She was one of the best iso scorers I saw all day. She got it done off the bounce, either finishing at the rim, pulling up for the 15-footer, even pulling up from behind the arc. Being just a sophomore and still developing, she will be a name that many are talking about in the state of GA over the next several years. She has an intriguing combination of size and shot-making ability from both inside and outside the arc. She showed her ability to post up smaller guards and has a nice turn-around J, which she is developing. She brings a lot to the game, especially in the scoring column, but she also showed that she can handle the rock, is a good play-maker out of P&R action, and is strong on the boards. Whether at the lead-guard spot or off-ball, she can get it done. Opportunities for Growth: I’d like to see Yasmine continue to work on her on-ball and help D, as she has the ability and size to be a disruptive defender just as much as she is a prolific scorer.
Alexus Neal Alexus Neal 6'0" Headland | 2023 GA – F (6’0/2023/Headland HS-AL)
Alexus literally got whatever she wanted on the offensive end every time she got a touch on the low block. Opposing teams had no answer as Alexus owned the paint. Her size and physical play made it extremely difficult to be guarded on the low block. She showed quickness with her feet, and she has soft hands. She showed a nice touch when shooting the 15-footer. She is a presence in the paint that impacts both ends of the court. She was virtually unstoppable in the paint, at the rim, and on the glass. Alexus gave a lot of effort and brought a lot of energy to the court. She is still evolving, and the next two years of her high school career should be very exciting as her stock rises. Opportunities for Growth: Continue to improve her play in P&R situations on both ends of the court. Continue to work on her passing out of the post, especially double teams.
Kitali Youmans Kitali Youmans 5'7" | PG Mt. Paran | 2025 State GA – G (5’7/2025/Mount Paran Christian School-GA)
I know you are looking at Kitali’s classification and may be questioning me on this, but come on, you know your boy brings what he sees. YES, she can score the rock. She is a young playmaker that plays with a lot of confidence. She had that swag that she wanted the ball in her hands, and when it was in her hand, she showed her scoring potential. As a freshman, to display what she was able to display on the offensive end was impressive, and I am excited about her development. She is a big-time shooter that was consistent from behind the arc. She knows how to use her ball-handling to get to her spots on the floor, where she can get things done in the scoring column. You do not find many young players who know how to create their own shot, but Kitali showed that she can definitely create her own, and she did it on a major platform at #PGHTop250. Kitali has a lot of promise and has not even scratched the surface of what she will bring to the game. Opportunities for Growth: Continue working on her overall game, play in p&r situations, and moving without the ball.
BRIANNA SPRUILL BRIANNA SPRUILL 5'5" | PG Stephenson | 2023 GA – G (5’5/2023/Stephenson HS-GA)
Bri might be listed as 5’5, but right now, I am listing her as one of the top scorers at camp. The strength of her scoring came from behind the arc, as she was one of the best at camp when it came to knocking down the trey ball. She was efficient from behind the arc. To sum up, this high-level shooter in a small package is this: she has good mechanics and touch from 15-feet extended out. She is small and quick and showed that she has scoring tools in her toolbox. Opportunities for Growth: Continue to work on her ball-handling and creating her shot off the bounce.
Aliyah Washington Aliyah Washington 5'9" | SF North Paulding | 2022 State GA – G (5’9/2022/North Paulding-GA)
Aliyah was on the court during the first game I watched at camp. She set the bar high for what I would be looking for in all the other games that I would watch. Aliyah is a top-tier scorer that produced at all 3 levels. She showed a quick first step that left defenders trying to catch up. She was extremely tough to stop when she got going downhill, and she was in that mode majority of the game. She has an aggressive mindset and stayed in attack mode. She was consistent from behind the arc and was exceptional in c&s opportunities. I know I am talking about Aliyah from the viewpoint of being a top scorer, but I just had to throw this in as she was taking charges in camp. I loved Aliyah’s passion for the game, and I am looking forward with great anticipation to how her senior year will play out. Opportunities for Growth: Continue to work hard in the weight room in preparation for the next level as the game is stronger and faster.
