Maleah Mason (Cy Fair Elite 2026 National White) team is loaded and she’s definitely a spark at the 1, well the 2 as well. Speaking of loaded young squads, True Texas Hoops 2028 National has several stars, rosters are very important because Paige Davis and Addie Seal Addie Seal 6'2" | SG Connections Academy | 2028 TX are young with huge upside, well I could say that for the whole squad as I caught their game against EYG 2028, and Chloe Woodson, pictured above, brought so much heat and intensity on the defensive end in the 5 minutes I had to watch their game that I was overly impressed. I also enjoyed GOC 2026 with the INSIDE PRESENCE from Maccie Bain Maccie Bain 6'1" | C Kiowa Public High School | 2026 TX as well as a talented point guard, Aliviah Daniel yet that Davis girl who joins the others below as #LOCKS
Ti’heiress Davis Ti’heiress Davis 5'8" | CG McAlester | 2026 TX -5’8 SG/SF (McAlester Middle School) GOC 2026
Davis has the right mindset that grabs me as she does things INSTINCTIVELY and I saw that almost 3 years ago in Oklahoma at a Pass The Ball camp because I’m that good at knowing what I’m looking at. She follows her shot, she understands how to trap, and also REACTS well on defense yet she attacks relentlessly and finishes strongly after contact but guess what else, she has a pull-up jumper and she plays the passing lane
Kinley Lewis Kinley Lewis 5'11" | SF Denton Ryan | 2026 State TX -5’10 (Scott Middle School) Lady Sparks 2026
Lewis is the MATRINAME from my mother’s side yet no possible nepotism is needed as she is one of the MOST athletic young players I have seen coming up and her flying through the air and grabbing rebounds got my adrenaline going. Guess what else, she has very good timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots but her scary upside, for defenders, not me, will definitely grab the attention of college coaches
Kate Wernli Kate Wernli 5'9" | SG Bixby | 2026 State OK -5’9 SG (Bixby Middle School) Team Griffin Elite Wernli 2025 [2026]
Wernli is one of the best shooters coming up, I mean her ability to create her shot and drop it is better than many shooters heading to college right now. Her shot is fluid, release is smooth and she can nail it with a hand in her face yet what I also like is her coming off the screen and dropping it as well as being able to “catch and shoot” and just for fun, to keep the defender honest, she’s scoring more off the dribble so “pick your poison”
Tyra McKinnie-5’11 SF/PF (Glenpool Middle School) Team Griffin Elite Wernli 2025 [2026]
McKinnie, one more time, reminds me of a young Nneka Ogwuike catching anything thrown at her, I rarely do comparisons yet when I do, you know it’s legit and she’s so active around the basket, goes after everything off the rim, on both ends yet she stays with the ball off the rim and scores on putbacks with ease. She’s facing the basket more, even handling the ball and going coast to coast both after the rebound as well as playing the passing lane
Emerie Gonzalez-5’3 PG (Duncanville Middle School) Mid-Cities Smoke 2023 [2027]
Gonzalez wins the “All Bets Are Off” award, yeah I made that one up on the fly yet I’m not making up what she brings to the table playing 17U, no typo here. Poised under pressure at the most important position, the game starts at the 1 remember, and her court-vision, crisp passes as well as decision making are ahead of her years yet she understands how to control the tempo, can drop the mid to long-range as well as score off the dribble, even showed the FLOATA
