’25 Lauren Strifling | 5’11 Stretch Forward | Homestead
Lauren’s skillset is advanced. Her patience, poise, and IQ are well above her class. Her bag is well-rounded and she’s a legit threat from all three levels. A fluid jumper from the mid to the arc.. shows creativity and strength when driving to the paint, and her footwork and feel on the block is impressive. She has speed, impressive ball handling, and plays with major physicality. The freshman was one of… if not the best stand out from the entire event. Huge upside!
’24 Kylee Norkus Kylee Norkus 5'10" | SG Neuqua Valley | 2024 State IL | 5’10 Combo Guard | Nequa Valley
Fast, tough, aggressive, and relentless to the core. Offensively, Norkus gets to the basket and spots when she wants. She has a quick and decisive first step.. mixed with some undercover strength. The length she has allows her to be creative and finish in a multitude of ways over or around the defense. Her athleticism and ball-handling make her a difficult cover for anyone.. especially when you match that with her deep-ball range as well. Defensively, that same aggression and motor are applied.
’23 Khamille Jackson | 6’0 Post | Marian Catholic
A classic back-to-the-basket post. Kamille’s presence in the post is seen than felt. She’s strong, agile, and has a quick 1-3 go-to moves that gets the job done. She runs the floor well and plays block to block and elbow to elbow with great stamina. A mobile post that causes the same amount of disruption on both sides of the ball. As her arsenal of post moves grows, Jackson will go from dominant to unguardable.
’23 Harvest Day | 5’10 Stretch Post | Dixon
Tough, strong and plays the game with great instincts. In the paint… Harvest gets her feet planted and goes to work when it comes her way. She has the ball handle and IQ to be efficient and patient when she’s downlow making moves. Soft-touch around the rim, and a good amount of clean footwork. Defensively that same IQ, instincts, and patience are seen. She shoots the gap and plays within the passing lanes with her head on a swivel. Aggressive and a ball hawk. Day has huge upside and soaring potential.
’23 Allison Hampel Allison Hampel 6'0" | PF Greenfield | 2023 State WI | 5’10 Stretch Forward | Greenfield (WI)
A playmaking post that shows dominance in the post.. but not just on one side of the court. Hampel is one of the most versatile stretch “bigs” I’ve seen in a while. Her transition speed mixed with her length, strength, and confidence makes her a downhill nightmare. Agile, patient, and quick when she’s on the block. She plays the game with an “I want it more than you” mindset. As her perimeter offensive skills and patience becomes one, she will be a true threat for any defense.
’23 Ada Taute | 6’0 Guard | St’ Ignatius
Her defense speaks just as loud as her offense. Ada is just a pure well-rounded player. She can score in a variety of ways. Clean footwork in the paint and on the block, high arc textbook jumper, and creativity when driving to the basket. Ada’s length matched with her impressive playmaking skills makes a serious threat on the offensive side. The same energy, engagement, and hustle are displayed on the defensive side as well. She’s active on the boards and in the passing lanes. Taute can guard the 1-4 with no problem, but also give some trouble to bigger 5’s.
’23 Ella Glascott | 5’8 Stretch Forward | Walter Payton
A tough-bodied playmaking forward who shows patience with each dribble. Ella has the frame and strength to protect and control the ball while allowing the play to develop. High IQ, mixed with a great amount of poise. She can get to the paint at will, but can also make pinpoint passes in the air if the defense collapses. She can knock down the longball if needed too. On defense, she uses the same strength and poise to control the ball handler and cause disruption.
’25 Jordan Mogilinski | 6’0 Stretch Forward | Montini
Defensively.. Jordan is a baseline blanket. Her length and strength allow her to deflect, block or alter shots in the paint, and she has the foot speed to step out and guard perimeter players as well. She’s more than active on the boards and can control them on both sides of the floor. On the offensive side of the ball, she has a guard-like skillset. She can put the ball on the floor and go coast to coast without missing a step. Jordan has impressive passing skills as well. She’s able to make clean and pinpoint passes to and from the post.
