Continue ReadingCollege coaches have had their eyes on Ariyana Cradle Ariyana Cradle 5’7″ | CG Westerville South | 2026 State OH (aka Peanut) for some time! She’s one of the most explosive guards I’ve seen, who plays with no fear, has incredible athleticism, and such a high basketball IQ. She has the ability to take over a game on both ends of the court, with her high pressure defense- resulting in steals and buckets, and offensively, there’s not a shot she doesn’t like! Outstanding shooter from outside, and creates great looks for her teammates with dribble penetration. Incredible future for this young lady! Featured photo, with ball.
I continue to be impressed with Lofton’s growth and how she handles herself on the court. She plays with composure, and just flat out goes hard! She’s exciting to watch going coast to coast with the ball, and knows how to score. Has a high motor, takes care of the basketball, and her spot on passing/ involving her teammates makes her dangerous and difficult to stop. We’ll be hearing a lot about Maliyah these next 4 years!

This player right here has got the athletic build to do some serious damage against opponents! At 6’3, I love how she protects the paint, and has no problem blocking shots, as well as making guards change their route from the lane because of her size. She’s smooth from the charity stripe, and has a soft shooting touch- nice release, uses the backboard. No problem rebounding! I love her potential!

Flowers displayed some pretty moves to the bucket! Her spin moves are under control, and she finds ways to get to the lane and capitalize. She knows how to make shots with contact- strong upper body, takes care of the rock, and not afraid to take some chances. She plays with some fire, and it could be seen on the defensive end!

Malaya has all the tools for a combo guard. She can hit anywhere from behind the arc, knock down mid-range jumpers, and can finish in the lane. She makes good decisions with the ball, finds her teammates, and has a high understanding for the game, spacing, where and when to cut, and her transition game is strong!
