Trinity Jackson-5’3 G ( Missouri Phenom ) 2028
Jackson is heady and understands how to not only control the tempo but to run a team. She did a good job directing traffic, she also saw the floor and made tough passes look easy both in the set as well as in transition, sometimes from over 20 feet. She also used her athleticism on both ends and seemed to enjoy applying heat baseline to baseline
Jordyn Haywood Jordyn Haywood 6'0" | SF MICDS | 2027 MO -5’10 F ( Missouri Phenom ) 2028
Haywood is “long and athletic” and although I say that’s the base over and over, I have to be repetitive because sometimes it’s not absorbed the way it should be. Her timing immediately stood out as she blocked, deflected, and even altered shots yet watching her handle the ball after that, as well as going coast to coast under pressure after the rebound and score was impressive
Lanae Dallas Lanae Dallas 5'9" | SG TX -5’6 G ( Hoop Society ) 2028
Dallas attacks the basket powerfully off the dribble and when you factor in her strength and body control, she’s an “and one” waiting to happen. She also has SWB, and speed with ball, and after she grabs the rebound on one end, it’s off to the races but she stays under control and scores or dished going all the way or dropped the pull-up jumper
Arianna Robinson Arianna Robinson 5'10" | SG PLANO EAST | 2028 TX -5’8 G (Pro Skills) 2028
Robinson had the #D1Lock dropped on her at Prime Time Nationals #NBC22, and although I didn’t remember her face, her game quickly jarred my memory. Her upside is scary, I’m serious because she does things instinctively, the double pump defying gravity had me rolling but her athleticism and scoring, from outside to off the dribble JUST DID IT for me. Well so did the “no-look” passes on the money
Addie Seal Addie Seal 6'2" | SG Connections Academy | 2028 TX -6’0 G/F ( True Texas Hoops ) 2028
Seal was also a standout at that same #NBC22 and after watching her working on her handles by herself on the sideline, I’m dropping #D1Lock on her as well. It’s easy because she stands at “the magic number” which is six feet. She understands how to not only create her shot but knock it down from outside, mid to long-range and store this in your memory, college coaches love big guards that can shoot
Alexa Bibb-5’0 PG (Drive Nation) 2029
Bibb is “poised under pressure” which is always a good sign and she already understands how to run a team. She doesn’t back down, on either end and her fierce competitiveness will add to everything else that’s coming
Gracie Ross-5’5 PG (TBI Ballers) 2029
Ross’ game is ahead of her years, yeah she’s strong and very athletic yet her knowledge of implementing the simple things that will be huge really stood out. She scored, however, she wanted yet her “on the ball” defense added even more
Chloe Davis Chloe Davis 5'3" | PG Lake Dallas | 2030 TX -5’0 PG (Pro Skills) 2030
Davis had me drop #D1Lock on her watching her handle the ball, something I did on one of many, even in street clothes years ago, yet her magical handles set everything up because od her countless moves and ability to drop the jumper
