Ella Smith Ella Smith 5'9" | SF Exeter | 2025 State New E – Exeter – 5’8’’ – SF
I thought Smith was one of the more consistent players from start to finish on Saturday. From annergy and compete standpoint, she was performing at a high level. Smith also shot the ball well from the outside. The RIGGED Classic being my first time watching Smith for an extended period, I was encouraged by what I saw. She has great size for her position, is long, and can shoot from the perimeter. With her having the physical tools to impact the game differently, Smith is a prospect to keep an eye on.
Amelia Murray Amelia Murray 5'2" | PG Salem | 2025 State New E – Salem – 5’2’’ – PG
It seemed like Murray drained everything corner three she took last Saturday, proving to be one of the more reliable spot-up shooters from last Saturday. She hit a handful of corner threes early on and shot them all with the utmost confidence. Most impressive about Murray’s torrid shooting performance was how she wasn’t rattled when the defense contested her outside attempts. When she catches fire, there is nothing the defense can do.
Meghan Husson Meghan Husson 5'8" | SG Windham | 2025 State New E – Windham – 5’7’’ – SG
Since September, Husson has been on my radar when she popped during a scrimmage vs. Mass Elite, and she has taken her game up a notch since then. Her progression as a three-level scorer was noticeable at the RIGGED Classic as she killed her opponent with her shooting and penetration. Husson can attack with both hands and doesn’t have a problem finishing on bigger wings because her length and athleticism aids in her scoring potency.
Aidan Walker Aidan Walker 5'6" | SG Nashua North | 2025 State New E – Nashua North – 5’7’’ – CG
I have always been a fan of Walker’s game and her effectiveness going downhill. Her change of pace and speed in the open court, combined with her finishing ability separates her from other guards in her class. When Walker catches the ball on the wing, she is under control and sells her shot fake well to ignite her basket pursuit. Last Saturday, I noticed how comfortable she was shooting three-pointers. Now that I know Walker can be a dangerous threat from three, it expands her offensive repertoire more, making her a prime candidate for one of my November stock risers.
Chloe Bremberg Chloe Bremberg 5'6" | SG Derryfield | 2025 State New E – Derryfield – 5’6’’ – SG
Bremberg is another NE Storm guard who is unconscious from three. She came into the event ready to light up the gym and did not hesitate to let everyone know she was an efficient sniper. Whenever the ball swung in her direction, she was ready to shoot and hit some challenging shots throughout the showcase. Bremberg is also valuable in transition because she runs the floor hard and gets behind the defense, giving her team easy scoring chances throughout the game.
Kate Sloper Kate Sloper 5'6" | SG Londonderry | 2025 State New E – Londonderry – 5’8’’ – SG
There was only one player at the RIGGED Classic who I felt could contain Sloper one-on-one, and that is because Sloper’s size, length, and quick first step make her a nightmare to match up against in the halfcourt. As soon as Sloper gets a step on her defender, she is in the paint in 2 or fewer dribbles and will finish over anyone. She also handles the ball well and moves it well on offense. Sloper’s shooting range extends beyond the three making her offensive game multidimensional.
