Madison Morge (5’9|SG|2023)
AAU Team: GA Pearls National Junior Elite Team
Instagram: madisonnmorge
Twitter: @MadisonMorge00
Madison was a source of scoring for her squad throughout the entire #PGHPeachGames. Her ability to score from behind the arc opened up a lot of space and lanes for her offensive repertoire. She played with a great understanding of taking her 2nd and 3rd option when defenders ran her off the line. She has an understanding that the best time to drive is when defenders are closing out, and when she got in the lane, she was dropping dimes.
She handled the rock, but there is still room for growth with her handles.
She got out in transition often and was getting to the cup and finishing.
Offers: She currently holds no offers.
Torri James (5’11|PF/C|2024)
AAU Team: Tennessee SOL 2023 Black
Instagram: theTorriJames
Twitter: @theTorriJames
Torri is an athletic post with next-level potential and just natural talent that was seen throughout her game. Some of the things that she exhibited are not learned talents, there talents that are part of her pedigree. She has a great physical profile and passed the eye test with flying colors.
She runs the floor unlike any I saw the entire weekend.
She got up the court so fast with long strides and beat her defender just about every time down the court. Torri was a major factor in every game because she used her length, explosiveness, scoring prowess in the paint, and her ability to outrun opponents and get easy buckets in transition. She is quick off the floor, which often gave her an advantage on the boards, in the paint when going up to score, and when contesting shots on the defensive end of the floor. Coaches, she is a sophomore that deserves some looks.
Offers: She currently holds no offers.
Geriya Grady (5’5|CG|2023)
AAU Team: Grindhouse Elite
Instagram: thelostkid_22
Twitter: @GeriyaG
Geriya asserted herself throughout the weekend by scoring from all levels. She showed her ability to score in iso situations and was one of the best to do it throughout the weekend. Trying to guard her with just one defender did not bode well for opponents. Defenders found it difficult to contain Geriya when she was attacking off the bounce.
Geriya was one of the most dangerous scoring guards at #PGHPeachGames.
She is sitting on one offer and probably would have more, but some coaches may be hesitant with the 5’5 listing. I must say that she is small, but she makes huge impacts at the off-guard spot and when the ball is in her hand, and she is facilitating the offense.
Offers: Des Moines Community College
Amanda Ogbonna (6’0|C|2023)
AAU Team: Queen Elite
Instagram: amandaogb_
Twitter: @amandaogb_
Amanda had a slow start to the weekend but got it going on day 2. Her day 2 production, energy, and activity on both ends of the court is what Amanda has to strive to make a consistent part of her game every time she steps onto the court.
When she is locked in and engaged, she is going to bring a fight in the paint and a battle on the boards.
She has good positional size and a good frame and could be a solid role player for a program looking for a big to anchor down the paint. Her offensive game is still a work in progress, but she can finish at the cup off of dump downs from ball-handlers who draw her defender. She is worth taking a look at for a program that does not mind a developing skillset but does bring a toughness when she is locked in.
Offers: She currently holds no offers.
Trinity Butler (5’10|CG|2023)
AAU Team: Fbc Hoopstarz
Instagram: __.trinittyy
Twitter: @4ktraytrin
Trinity is listed as a CG but brings a level of versatility on both ends of the court. She has good size at the guard spot that created mismatches across the board. She punished smaller guards that tried defending her as she used a physical attack off the bounce to get to the cup.
When teams tried to match up in size and put a post player on her, she was just too quick off the bounce for them.
She is a playmaker with the ball in her hands, and her size at her position, coupled with her ball skills, has an exciting intrigue surrounding her game. Trinity was a pleasant surprise and if she continues performing like she did at #PGHPeachGames, look for her first offer to come soon.
Offers: She currently holds no offers.
Riley Black (5’8|PG/SF|2024)
AAU Team: DL Impact
Instagram: riley.blackkkk
Twitter: @rileyblack150
Riley was one of the more complete players I saw. She has an all-around floor game that is a thing of brilliance. She has a unique ability to blend facilitating and scoring and is an absolute beast when in scoring mode. She was a handful off the bounce and can light it up from anywhere on the court. She was a consistent threat on the offensive end, and in every game, she matched her play from the game before.
Her game draws fouls, and she lives at the line.
She scores with variety and displayed countless tools in her toolbox, and the scary part about her game is that she is still improving and is only a sophomore. As she continues to elevate her game, she will develop into a highly sought-after player, and I guarantee the offers will start coming. Riley dropped 21pts in a 52-55 loss to FBC Legacy 2023.
Offers: She currently holds no offers.
