There was an abundance of freshmen playing up that I’ve already dropped #D1Lock on like Oklahoma Swift 2024 McKenzie Mathurin McKenzie Mathurin 5'10" | CG Broken Arrow | 2025 State OK who already has double-digit offers so we can throw away the key on her and although I haven’t dropped it on Team Stay Ready 2024 Kaylie Carr Kaylie Carr 5'10" | PG Legion Prep Academy | 2025 State TX , stay ready because crystal ball is getting clearer as both made 16U All-Tournament First Team. Houston Lady Nets Kennedy Simpson got hers dropped because she’s playing a few years up, hasn’t entered high school yet but trust me, her poise, as well as skillset, is why I locked her in playing up yet here are some of the top performers from the Dynasty Region 15U Division
Brooklyn Smitherman-5’11 PF (Smitherman Academy) Oklahoma Swift 2025
Smitherman had me excited watching how fluidly she moved on the defensive end, lateral movement as well as stepping outside of the paint yet her UPS just did it after she not only elevated for rebounds but also to block shots yet that wasn’t enough as she also got up
Kate Wiginton-5’6 SG (Verdigris HS) Oklahoma Swift 2025
Wiginton is heady, understands the game, and makes solid decisions as well as passes because her court vision was very good, so was her ballhandling, under pressure yet she also left a lasting impression blocking out taller players for rebounds, you know what, let me drop a #THROWBACK for that alone
Hannah Plamer-5’3 PG (Sallisaw HS) Oklahoma Swift 2025 [2026]
Palmer may not be related to Arnold yet her game was more than “par for the course” as she also showed good decision making placing her into the “heady” category but she also understands something very important, how to play within herself, basically means not forcing anything, and getting hers in the flow as she scored multiple times off the dribble
Mikayla Pilley-5’10 SG (Kickapoo HS) Oklahoma Swift 2025
Pilley got tagged #D1Lock by me because I’m not a novice at this and I see things developing on the court that some can’t see with the naked eye so here’s the deal, college coaches love big guards that can shoot, she can definitely do that but they also love big guards that can see the floor and handle the ball under pressure, she does that as well but what I love is that she rebounds on both ends and I really love her “playing the passing lane” yet what I really and truly love is acrobatic finishes and her backward lay-up, off-balance gave me instant caffeine
Macy Marraccini Macy Marraccini 5'5" | PG Broken Arrow | 2025 State OK -5’5 PG (Broken Arrow HS) Oklahoma Swift 2025
Marracini is one of those smooth as silk guards so before you ask me why I say that, here’s the deal. She also gets the #THROWBACK for blocking out taller players, it’s also called boxing out but I don’t pull any punches, and observing her rebounding and going coast to coast to finish or dish off was very nice but hold on wait a minute, she was nowhere near finished as she showed me she could create her shot, under pressure and more importantly knock it down yet she also, drumroll please, plays the passing lane
