Some have been mentioned previously, while others on the list are deserving of a shout-out. The process consists of watching film and jotting-down notes to create an evaluation on the prospects’ skills and traits that will translate to the next-level.
Tori is an elite lockdown defender at the guard spot. Her on-ball defense and lateral movement standout first about her. She’s also an offensive contributor at 9.2 ppg. and dished-out 3.9 apg. Her passing ability might be overlooked but she makes the smart pass after the drive and can make some not-so-simple passes that lead to points. Continuously gets in the lane and is a scoring and passing threat. A college level prospect and a winning player that will benefit a program.
Highlights
Claire Wagstaff
Claire Wagstaff
Claire is a long wing standing at 6-2. Slightly raw with the ball but has solid athleticism at 6-2 and can run well. Will attack the glass, with a solid 4.2 rpg. Claire is one to watch because of her 6-2 frame with length at a wing spot. There’s some untapped potential and some upside.
Avery is a lefty three-point specialist, with a majority of her shot attempts coming from three. She made 56 threes at 35%. Best-suited for the shooting guard spot at the next level, so she can focus on her shot-making ability from deep. A composed offensive game overall and is a solid decision-maker on the court.
Highlights
Ezra received playing time as a Freshman on a very good Highlands Ranch team with many impressive prospects. That in itself explains her abilities and trajectory going forward. Ezra has good size at 5-10, a solid build, and a solid all-around game. A shooter that was 43% from the floor and 30% from three. An adjusted fg% of 51%. Expect those numbers to improve as she gains more experience and becomes more comfortable at the varsity level. She will have more and more opportunities going forward to showcase her talents.
Highlights
Brynae is a long and athletic prospect. Plays with high energy and toughness in the post, considering her frame. Has a unique combination and versatility to bring the ball up the floor and defend the interior at 5-11. Truly impressive with how much she can do on the court. Has the ability to attack the rim with quickness on the perimeter. Great speed with the ball in fast-break situations. Exceptional movement at 5-11 and she’ll use that to defend tightly on the perimeter. Can guard multiple positions. The definition of versatility. 13.2 ppg. and 6.7 rpg. last season.
Speed and quickness is her game. LeeKaya is one of the quickest guards you’ll find at the high school girls level. What she lacks in height, she makes up in quickness and playmaking ability. Loves to attack off the dribble with and put the ball over size in the paint. Led the team in scoring at 14.2 per, as a Freshman. Made 40 threes at 26%. Look for her to improve her efficiency as she progresses.
Zane Bullock
Zane Bullock
Zane may be a prospect not talked about much but deserves a mention. Really like her game and demeanor on the court. Zane’s quickness helps her tremendously on both ends of the court. She’s able to handle the ball well enough to take advantage of that quickness offensively. When she attacks hard she gets by her initial on-ball defender, gets in the lane, and is an effective finisher. A great individual defender and team defender that doesn’t “hug” their defensive assignment and is in correct defensive position. Elite ability to pick up a ball-handler at half-court and pressure while staying in front easily. Sprints the floor and will dive for loose ball. A college program would benefit from Zane’s skills, athleticism, and effort on the court.
