Delaney Arredondo Delaney Arredondo 5'6" | PG Judson | 2026 State TX -5’6 (SA Finest) Judson
Arredondo has continued to elevate her game from just attacking and dishing, which was ahead of her years, to just adding a variety of intangibles. First of all, her “poise under pressure” at a young age JUST DID IT for me, no matter what platform she played. Her ballhandling and court-vision continue to be amongst the best in her class and her pull-up jumper helps keep the defender guessing
Salena Carrasco Salena Carrasco 5'7" | PG Boswell | 2026 State TX – 5’8 (DFW EYBL) Boswell
Carrasco has my initials. I told her when I first met her “you need to bring it” and after looking at me strangely, she did just that. Another young player who just did not get rattled, and that told me a lot about what was coming so she understands when to push the ball and when to slow it down. She directs traffic m she sees the floor, she scores off the dribble and her mid to long-range also creates problems
Madison Crawford Madison Crawford 5'6" | PG Mansfield Legacy | 2026 State TX -5’6 (Pro Skills OG) Mansfield Legacy
Crawford has unique initials as well and that the PGH Freshman Showcase, I said “MC, you need to drop the mic” and she did just that. Well, that’s an understatement because she dropped shots from everywhere starting with NBA-range three-pointers, stop-and-pop jumpers, and acrobatic finishes yet her pinpoint passes got teammates easy looks and when you factor in she handles the ball like a yo-yo, all bets are off
Rieyan Desouze Rieyan Desouze 5'7" | PG Desoto | 2026 State TX – 5’5 (Team Lex) Desoto
Desouze had #D1Lock dropped on her by me in the 3rd grade, use the search bar because #ThereIsNoMe and when I call it, that’s it. She was so focused at an early age, playing up and getting bumped hard. Fast forward to now, her cunningness to set the defender up is second to none. She sees the floor through a microscope and with her adding “being vocal on the court” that jumper only adds to the effectiveness
Jaidyn Gunter Jaidyn Gunter 5'7" | PG McKinney | 2026 State TX -5’7 (Texas U)
Gunter keeps turning corners and over the summer, all systems go as she has elevated her game to yet another level. She’s strong and attacks powerfully off the dribble yet her ability to dish while going full speed is a treat to see. Yeah, she sees the floor in the set, drops the mid to long-range, and even rebounds against taller players but her defense have also shot up
Jamari Milton Jamari Milton 5'4" | PG North Crowley | 2026 State TX – 5’4 (DFW EYBL) North Crowley
Milton is one of the best “taking players off the dribble” guards in her class. I love her “turbo” as she accelerates in transition but she can also make things happen with crisp passes to the right teammate, at the right time. Solid ballhandling, with either hand., creates issues for defenders, especially since she can drop the mid to long range. Her “on the ball defense” is also tough
Jaclyn Silva Jaclyn Silva 5'5" | PG John Paul II | 2026 State TX – 5’4 (Pro Skills) John Paul II
Silva has always known how to make an entrance and her calm and quiet demeanor off the court is totally different when she steps on. First play of the game at PGH Freshman Showcase, she dives 10 feet for a loose ball and it didn’t stop there as she was, well everywhere on defense. Her ability to control the tempo and see the floor got her teammates easy baskets yet she dropped the mid to long-range herself, even scoring off the dribble
Endia Stigall Endia Stigall 5'5" | PG Hays (Buda) | 2026 State TX -5’5 (Stat Elite) Buda Hays
Stigall is one of those players you may not know about and also one I love saying “I told you so”. I love players that do things “you can’t teach” and her multitude of ways to put the ball in the basket just keeps me SMH. Her explosiveness off the dribble, along with great body control, make her an and one waiting to happen yet her jumper, it’s legit, from everywhere is something to see. She sees the floor, gets everyone involved yet can take over, just like that
