Swindle is a very talented point guard that gets to go up against the best of the best in the nation every day at practice with fellow teammates: Jerzy Robinson, Eanae Dagons Eanae Dagons 5'3" | PG Desert Vista | 2024 State AZ and Shay Ijiwoye Shay Ijiwoye 5'6" | PG Desert Vista | 2024 State AZ . This Desert Vista team is ELITE and Swindle adds even more talent to this dream team. Look for Swindle to put up some big numbers this season and solidify herself as one of the best guards in the state of Arizona.
2024 5’7 G Ysabel Puente Ysabel Puente 5'7" | CG Dream City Christian | 2024 State AZ (Dream City Christian): Puente is the heartbeat of her Dream City squad. She plays with a ton of grit, intensity, and toughness. Puente is unselfish with the ball as she is always looking to create for her teammates and get her team the best opportunity to score. She can shoot it from 3, pressure her opponent the length of the court, and will her team to win by getting timely scores in crunch time. Puente has the skill and the intangibles to be a highly successful guard at the college level. Look for her to put up some monster stats during her junior campaign.
2023 5’11 G Kaitlyn Elsholz Kaitlyn Elsholz 5'11" | CG Sandra Day | 2023 State AZ (Sandra Day OC): Elsholz is as good as it comes for guards in the class of 2023. She is lengthy, skilled and has a high basketball IQ. Elsholz is an elite shooter from the perimeter as well as a big time shot maker from anywhere on the court. As a senior, I would anticipate her to average near 20 points a game for her very talented Eagle squad. At the next level she will thrive being an elite scorer and defender.
2024 6’0 F Ava Pautz Ava Pautz 5'11" | SF Notre Dame Prep | 2024 State AZ ( Notre Dame Prep): Pautz is as tough as it comes in the class of 2024. She can score from the inside, take her opponent of the dribble, and rebound at a very high level. She is strong and is able to muscle her way inside over bigger defenders and finish over them. She has a really nice baby-hook and drop step move that she utilizes in the post. Pautz is one of those “unicorn” post prospects because she is more than capable of bringing the ball up the court and going coast to coast with it. Pautz is poised for a huge junior season as she will likely lead her team in both points and rebounds this upcoming season.
2025 5’8 G Aiyanna Perkins (McClintock HS): Perkins is an electric guard prospect in the class of 2025. Perkins is a scorer that utilizes an array of dribble moves to get by her defenders and finish in the lane. She can push the pace in transition, shoot it from 3, and finish through contact in the lane. Perkins is one of those players you see for the first time and immediately ask for a program. Perkins will have a huge sophomore year for McClintock.
