Jolee Haley- HG Elite 2024 S40
Haley added an L for a comet and watching her FLOATA just fits. She scored numerous times off the dribble but it’s how she finished that got me because her body control definitely looked good but when you factor in she has a nice pull-up jumper, that adds even more to the equation
Aaliyah Smith Aaliyah Smith 6'0" | PF Tulsa Memorial | 2024 State OK (Tulsa Memorial HS) Shock 2024
Smith can score not only with her back to the basket but facing the basket and as she’s one of four talented sisters I’ve been watching since my hair was all-black, she scored numerous times on the putback but her college-ready body also gave me a different look at her defense, yeah does a good job in the paint but seeing her step outside and go lateral to defend was very nice
Annaston Brown Annaston Brown 5'10" | SF Tahlequah Sequoyah | 2024 State OK (Tahlequah Sequoyah) Fusion 2024
Brown was dancing on the court like James, GOOGLE him, my bad, Chris, nevertheless, her DROP STEP gets the #THROWBACK, well like James but she also BATTLES for everything off the rim, see the hashtag above, and when she showed me the outside shot, including the stepback ” I FELT GOOD”
Riley Samples (McNeil HS) Competitive Edge 2024
Samples closed it out with a bang because she dropped 8 from BTA on day 2 to send a message. Yes, she can shoot the ball yet her ability to drop it off the screen or just create her shot wasn’t all she did as she attacked and finished but as I continued to observe, I definitely liked her “catch and shoot”
Wrigley Adkisson Wrigley Adkisson 6'2" | PF Sapulpa | 2025 State OK (Sapulpa HS) Oklahoma Swift 2024 Mathurin [2025]
Adkisson is “long and athletic” remember that’s the base and when you intangibles like tall, well that’s definitely a plus yet she kept adding up other things, like her pull-up jumper and with her wingspan and length, not to leave out she elevates on her jumper, getting it off is easy, well so was knocking it down but let me also mention she has good timing to give the offensive player something to think about
Laila Grant (Nixa HS) Missouri Phenom 16U [2025]
Grant me 3 wishes as she too is “long and athletic” see above, yet I’m almost ready to say ULTRA athletic because she reacts so well on defense going after the ball as well as playing the passing lane but watching her just jump out the gym to score around the basket, putbacks included, yes she rebounds on both ends however watching her attack off the dribble to finish was also nice. Her ceiling has no roof!
Marayah Coleman Marayah Coleman 6'2" | SF Goddard | 2025 State KS -Kansas United 2024 [2025]
Coleman has those initials, MC, and she too dropped the mic as I didn’t realize she was a freshman, didn’t look at the roster, but I still need it and her poise on both ends just stood out as she battled for everything off the rim, that’s always a good sign, so is scoring on outbacks after contact but here’s the kicker, she also scored off the dribble, even showed the reverse layup after contact for an and-one, so I also dropped my book
