At Hoosier Heat, she was electric in the open floor. Blair played a physical offensive game and shrugged off contact when attacking the rim. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="230786" first="Bridget" last="Crombie"] (2023, SF, Capitol City Express 2023, CHAP)</strong> I'm very high on Crombie as a player and a prospect. She's a matchup nightmare and showed that at the Nike Elite Tournament. Crombie had a 24 point game and followed it up with a 27 point game. <strong>Brooklyn Garavaglia (2026, PG, Tri-County Hoopers 2026, Macomb Dakota)</strong> Garavaglia will be turning a lot of heads over the next 4 years of high school basketball. She was easily one of the top 2026 lead guards at USJN and was even named a USJN Premier All-Star. Garavaglia showed a nice jumper and the ability counter it with the dribble drive. <strong>Carly Higginbotham (2026, PF, Tri-County Hoopers 2026, Troy)</strong> Troy has something special in this young forward. At USJN, she was just more physical and more aggressive on the glass than her opponents. Higginbotham's play earned her USJN Premier All-Star recognition. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="230796" first="Cadence" last="Kaminske"] (2023, SG, MI Factory 2023, Riverview)</strong> Kaminski will be a part of a tough 1-2 punch at Riverview with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="230784" first="Elyssa" last="Kincaid"]</strong>. She turned heads with her clutch 3 point shooting at Run 4 The Roses. Kaminski had 16 triples over the course of the event/ <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="425130" first="Mariah" last="Kerley"] (2025, SF, The Naturals 2025, East Jackson)</strong> Kerley was a critical piece to an ever improving Naturals squad. Her top performance at the Sneaker Wars saw her contribute in a variety of ways. She scored 9 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="280223" first="Jaevyn" last="Montgomery"] (2023, SF, West Michigan Drive Daye 2023, East Kentwood)</strong> Montgomery continued a terrific summer with an excellent performance at the USJN. She tallied 1 double-double and was very close to 2 more. Montgomery was named a USJN All-Star. <strong>Hannah Saunders (2026, SG, Tri-County Hoopers 2026, Royal Oak)</strong> Saunders turned some heads in her USJN Premier All-Star performance. She appears to be a shooter at heart and she was hitting her jumper at the event. Saunders could be an impact high school shooter for years to come. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="417905" first="Kendall" last="Standfest"] (2024, SG, [program_tooltip program_id='715753' first='Michigan' last='Mystics'] Finest 2024, Elk Rapids)</strong> Standfest made a huge statement at the Select 40 Session 2. Her stat lines were eye-popping. She had 22 points, 6 steals, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. Standfest followed that up with 24 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. She might have been the Player of the Week in Michigan with her lights out performances. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244303" first="Ashley" last="Weller"] (2024, CG, MSF Flight 2024, Jackson Northwest)</strong> MSF Flight needs to start being mentioned with some of the top 2024 teams in the state and players like Weller have a lot to do with that. She showed the ability to play off the ball yet be an important secondary ball handler. Weller has developed a very pretty jumper and brought a lot of energy to the floor for MSF Flight.
