Scout’s Notes: I-35 Showcase Wichita ’26s & ’27s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For my final article on players from the recent Wichita I-35 Showcase I shine some light on the 2026s and 2027s. Enjoy a look at my observations as they appear in my notes. Unfortunately I was unable to see every player in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='779212' first='Addison' last='Davee']</strong>, 6'2", PF/C, [program_tooltip program_id='712424' first='Kansas' last='Bluejays'], 2027- Legitimate size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='779223' first='Destiny' last='Maze']</strong>, 5'7", PG, [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite'] Heat, 2027 - Quick off the bounce. Crushed one defender repeatedly, opposing coach put someone else on her. Passes well. Can play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='544022' first='Audrianna' last='Phillips']</strong>, 5'4", SG, Goddard, Wichita Express, 2026 - Can use dribble to drive some. Slight build. Moved well in transition without the ball - popped out, then scored inside from a catch vs contact. Played some PG. Slice &amp; finish RH.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='544023' first='Kierrah' last='Pinchon']</strong>, 5'11", PF, Garden City, SSA [program_tooltip program_id='712521' first='Gameball' last='Basketball'], 2026 - Terrific turnaround jumper incl. w/a little fade back. Matched up w/[player_tooltip player_id='349458' first='Aliyah' last='Green']. Not as quick as Green but physically did. Soft shot. Keeps rebounds up. Solid transition speed. Great frame &amp; length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='884873' first='Jordy' last='Schroeder']</strong>, 5'8", SG, Lady Reds, 2027 - Small, slight guard. Quick in the lane. Ok defensive quickness. Some handles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='779250' first='Piper' last='Schroeder']</strong>, 5'4", PG, Lady Reds, 2027 - Slender kid, runs well. End-to-end weave, crossed over and finished at speed - nice. Watch as gets bigger and stronger.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addisen Wills</strong>, 5'3", PG, Halstead, [program_tooltip program_id='716118' first='Next' last='Level Eclipse'], 2026 - Gets out in transition. Sprints to get to non-ball handler fast in transition - not something often seen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Featured image: Opening gathering at the start of the Sept. 2022 I-35 Showcase, Wichita Sports Forum, KS.
