Continue ReadingI had an opportunity to attend the inaugural Sincerely Savage Skills Camp. The event drew some of the best players in the country from the classes 2025-2030. Listening to the instructors, organizers, and national evaluators share insight and critiques of players’ games were impactful for each of the attendees. A huge thanks to the Sincerely Savage team for the invite and hospitality during the event.
Let’s take a look at some of the top post players at the event.
Jayden McClain
Jayden McClain
McClain brings elite size to the floor. She has good footwork and technique on the block at this point in her development. Rim protection is at an all-time high with her on the floor. She floats and reads developing plays well and even when chasing shots out of her area she is under control and does it without fouling.
Aila Courtenay
Aila Courtenay
Aila naturally grabs the attention of even the most common fan of girls’ basketball. She has elite length and already understands how to defend on the block and protect the rim by roaming the paint. She picked up several blocks throughout the day in various segments. I first saw Aila around this time last year and her development over that span has proven that she already possesses an elite dedication to the game. She has a handful of go-to moves and knows when to use them. Her footwork continues to develop and really plays a role in how she is able to score.
Kyndoll English Kyndoll English NC
Kyndoll English Kyndoll English NC
Elite size with strength and confidence to compete in any age division, Kyndoll was a standout. She was a dominant interior player even when matched up with older players of equal size. She is tough to move. Her youth only shows when watching how she chooses to score on the block. With her size, her mobility was extremely impressive.
Kyndall Mays
Kyndall Mays
Kyndall was a standout in 1v1 and 3v3 segments during the camp. She showed a lot of toughness and pride to defend when competing against a faster player of the same size to get to the 1v1 finals. She plays with determination and an expectation that she will have success in whatever she is doing. An interior player with a mindset to play physical and outwork defenders for tough scores.
