Riley is a very physical forward and uses her 6’0" frame very well. She held her own against several six footers in the state championship game and also played well with Team Thrill in June.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="445911" first="Brianna" last="Johnson"]</span></span> | SF | Team Thrill #103
Briana has a good shot off the dribble and can pull up into a three pointer with little set up and space. At 5’8" she has some spurts playing post as well as both guard positions, the latter can make her more valuable on the next level.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="446208" first="Jordy" last="Griggs"]</span></span> | SF | Team Durant #10
Jordy has been coast to coast playing high school on the west coast and reportedly headed south but her stint with Team Durant and speculated stay in the DMV added her to the rankings. At 6’1" she has good length at the wing and has good timing for blocking shots. She has three range and is a good defender.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="445912" first="Jennifer" last="Juhring"]</span></span> | CG | Quince Orchid #90
At 5’10" Jennifer has great size for a guard, she has a nice looking set shot and increasing her accuracy on the move can really boost her stock.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="444945" first="Lania" last="Nick"]</span></span> | PF | Glen Burnie #73
Lania rebounds well and can stretch the floor some with her shooting. Increasing her range will make her a complete inside out player.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="445898" first="Nyome" last="Nnebe"]</span></span> | PF | Flowers #58
Nyome has a solid body and uses it well to seal inside position in the post. She finishes well by the basket and is a good shot blocker. She played well in the Jaguars run in the states and looked good with the Lady Tigers in June.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="444942" first="Paige" last="Smith"]</span></span> | CG | Williamsport #19
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-421437" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/20220309_184828_HDR-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />
Paige had an excellent run in the Maryland state playoffs leading her team Washington County team to a final four appearance. She shoots at a high percentage rate from most any area of the floor and makes shots even when contested. She ha an exceptional handle and a quick release and is able to score off the dribble.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="444944" first="Aichatta" last="Soumaoro"]</span></span> | C | Glen Burnie #48
Good size and body. Aichatta’s footwork is improving and if she stays on pace and has a breakout July, she could be one of the more sought after prospects this upcoming season.
<span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="445914" first="DaNiya" last="Warren-McClure"]</span></span> | SF | Coolidge #105
DaNiya attacks strong and gets to the basket against most defenders with ease. Finishing better will help increase her production and give her more open looks as defenses will have to play off of her.
