Scouting Report: Always 100 Elite FL 2025 By Michael Wholey 3/27/22 10:00 AM EST The travel season is upon us and tournaments kicked off a couple weeks ago. We will begin with some team previews prior to some of the larger live events in April. We start off by taking a look at Always 100 Elite FL 2025. #2 [player_tooltip player_id="295788" first="Shay" last="Farley"] - 5’11” Wing / Forward Shay is long, athletic and has a strong frame. She is versatile on both the offensive and defensive end of the floor and can play both the wing and forward spots. She is an excellent 3-point shooter and can put the ball to the floor from the high post, wing, as well as take a defensive rebound and start the break. She has the ability to knock down the open shot off the catch and dribble, attack off the bounce, and finish as the rim. Her strong frame and size allows her to finish through contact and get to the free throw line often. She gives consistent effort on both ends, hitting the boards alive, getting her hands on a lot of balls, and very solid rebounder and defender. She is a high IQ player who has good court vision, gives up the ball unselfishly, and is a good passer. Her older sister Bailey Farley was an all-state player in Indiana and starter at NCAA division one Loyola Chicago and Wisconsin Milwaukee.   <img class=" wp-image-347992 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/11/Ailani-Collazo-DME-Starzz-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="167" height="223" /> #30 [player_tooltip player_id="244165" first="Ailani" last="Collazo"] - 5’7” Guard Ailani is a high energy player who gives consistent effort on both ends of the floor and plays hard from jump ball to final buzzer.

Collazo has a high basketball IQ and plays with an infectious energy on the court.     #15 [player_tooltip player_id="346856" first="Sy’monique" last="Simon"] - 5’8” Guard Simon is an extremely versatile player with a non-stop motor. She only knows how to play the game at one speed- FAST! Her versatility, strength, and athleticism make her a unique player and combined with her ability to make clutch shots from the perimeter and attack the rim off the dribble, she is a tough match up! Because she plays with some much energy, she seems to always be around the ball and get lots of tips, deflections, steals, and 50/50 balls that are loose on the floor! She is a defensive stopper that is not afraid to guard the opposing teams best player and plays with a ton of passion and has a very high ceiling with a ton of potential!   <img class=" wp-image-280485 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/EA018979-392B-4FEE-8A3E-C3C1C79BCBDC.jpeg" alt="" width="347" height="260" />#1 [player_tooltip player_id="275339" first="Maya" last="Collins"] - 5’10” PG Collins is a true point guard, serving as a floor general when she is on the court.
