Emma Eldred – 5’9″ – Tecumseh ’26 – Michigan Cobras ’26
Eldred runs the floor and plays solid defense like the rest of the Michigan Cobras. She blocks shots, hits the offensive glass for rebounds and points, and does a great job of setting up in the Post.
In one of the best post moves I saw all day, Eldred ran her opponent to the right-side low block, turned to seal her there, and receive the ball. She then made an inside turn, ball fake, and then stepped through for a right-handed layup.
Having post-up fundamentals early like this is a sign of great coaching and a high upside for a player. This is a player to keep your eyes on.
Sophie Hart – 5’9″ – Crown Point ’26 – NWI Thunder ’26
Hart is a versatile player with a good feel for what the game requires from her at the moment. She is a good rebounder that gets the ball up the court to teammates on the fastbreak for points after starting it off of the defensive glass.
She can shoot the three and put the ball on the floor for the layup or pull-up jumper. Defensively she is opportunistic in getting into passing lanes and a capable shot blocker.
Addison Hendrixson – 5’9″ – Lacrosse ’26 – NWI Thunder ’26
Hendrixson is a shot blocker, rebounder, and physical interior presence. My notes are full references like “tough rebound”, and “forced contact” to get fouled on moves like the nice rip-and-go she displayed on the elbow drive.
She doesn’t seem to want to play outside of the lane lines very often. And that is fine when you can impact the game from there in the ways that she does. It seems to suit her personality as a player to be mixing it up in the rectangle.
Sydney Cobb – 5’9″ – Baldwin Road ’27 – Ohio Impact ’26
Cobb plays the rectangle of the lane well considering her age. She has all of the basic post skills the drive from the elbow for a layup, the elbow jumper, and rebound putbacks.
On the break, she is a rim-runner that knows how to use the duck-in to score in the secondary break. She also made a drive from the left-side top to the basket for a layup.
Lana Srbinovski – 5’10″ – Jacob Coy ’26 – Dayton Metro ’26
Srninovsky made an impact on the ball in the full-court press by stealing the ball and putting it in before it could get far from the basket. She also made an 18-footer from the left corner and fullcourt drove for a layup off of a defensive rebound.
Jada Caranberry – 5’10″ – Springboro ’26 – Dayton Metro ’26
Caranberry was working hard to get the ball but seemed to come up inches short each time. If that persists something is not being done efficiently, if it doesn’t it was just bad luck in this game. I didn’t notice anything in particular but then I was trying to watch 10 players at the same time.
Late in the game, she scored a layup rolling to the basket after screen, posted up on the right-side for a 1-footer, and an inside-turnaround 5-foot jumper.
Remy Largent – 5’7″ – Big Walnut ’27 – Ohio Impact ’26
Largent is a 7th-grader playing up last weekend. She is currently a rim-runner and scored off of multiple up-the-street passes on the break.
She also scored on a duck-in during the secondary break, made her free throws, and made a layup on a drive from the top right.
