New Additions in 2023
Maya Hernandez Maya Hernandez 6'0" | SF Arch Bishop Mitty | 2023 State CA – Maya is a dynamic wing type player that knows how to score the ball and is one of the dominants on the floor for her team, she comes into our rankings quite late, but we had to put eyes on her and we did,. Maya is a problem for anyone on the floor and her ranking is well-deserved.
Nadia Bernard Nadia Bernard 6'3" | C West Ranch | 2023 State CA – Nadia is improving rapidly standing at 6’3, she is definitely a site to see with her size and mobility on the court. She has a strong college type body and I believe she is still growing which leads to her great rebounding and shot blocking skills. If you come in the paint and try for a layup, she is sending it into the stands, she might even shake her finger at you like Matumbo, just kidding, she is a force when it comes to shot blocking.
Gracyn Lovette Gracyn Lovette 5'11" | SG Marin Catholic | 2023 State CA – Gracyn showed and proved she was an outside threat to anyone guarding her, she moves well on the floor and knows how to create space for herself. She is crafty with the ball in transition and she is also a threat down low in the paint and she is a good rebounder with the ability to throw out to guards and get into the lanes. She is a stat stuffer in our opinon and should be
Karlee White Karlee White 5'9" | PG Oak Park | 2023 CA – Karlee is an elite shooter and defender from what we saw, she showed us that she is a long distance sniper and can do it consistently. She also has the ability to pick up 94 feet and make her opponent do things that make them uncomfortable, she is a defensive stopper in our book
Aaliyah Stanton Aaliyah Stanton 5'6" | PG Rancho Christian | 2023 State CA – small and crafty point guard that knows how to play the game, she handles the ball well and knows how to hit players on cuts for easy baskets. Her PnR game is decent and she is a good attacking guard, she will make the pass if she draws the double on a drive, so her IQ is quite good for a point guard as well. This girl can play, coaches take a good look at her.
Citlali Salazar Citlali Salazar 5'7" | PG Crenshaw | 2023 State CA – This was my first time seeing Salazar play and she stood out as a true point guard. She has good handles, dribbles under control and can break defense pressure. She’s quick off the dribble and comfortable getting to the basket. She has good court vision and can find the open player in transition as well as cutters around the rim. She’s a pass-first player. Draws the defense on drives and kicks the ball back out to the open shooters.
Amber Furch Amber Furch 5'7" | CG Brentwood | 2023 State CA – Amber is a do it all player for her team, she can score in a variety of ways and she is a determined player that will do whatever she needs to do to win a game. She is also a problem offensively and will be a threat to score the ball each and every time she touches it.
Sophia Laurel Sophia Laurel 5'9" | SF Righetti | 2023 State CA – rebounding wing with some size to her, she can handle the ball and run the floor like a gazelle and can catch passes with soft hands in transition or in the paint. She had a nice stroke on her shot, but her main objective is to beat you up inside on the boards and make easy baskets in the paint. We love her tenacity on the floor.
Michelle Ogasawara Michelle Ogasawara 5'9" Kennedy | 2023 CA – Rebounder and putbacks are her forte, but she can also shoot the ball as well from midrange. Finished well inside with both hands and had some great size for a small post player. She has a nice lefty stroke from three and had nice arc on her shot, she was a good post player that knew how to seal her opponents for buckets. We loved how she could get up and down the floor with nice soft hands for easy catches to score.
Lani Bowman Lani Bowman 5'6" Newport Christian School | 2023 CA – nice size wing player that knows how to play defense. Shoots the ball well and know how to be at the right place at the right time. She is a hustle player by nature and loves the game as we watched her play it. Energy player on the floor and was one of the most willing to defend, that is what we loved.
Abbi Bowman Abbi Bowman 5'7" Newport Christian School | 2023 CA – nice size wing guard that knows how to defend and rebound in the paint. She is agile and has a good IQ for the game. Abby impressed us with her rebound skills, she could also shot the midrange jumper with some consistency.
Eryn Gardner Eryn Gardner 5'10" | SF Salesian College Prep | 2023 State CA – Eryn is a tough cookie down low, she is very skilled at using the PnR game for her teammates, which allows her also to pic and pop at any given moment, she has a good offensive read game in my opinon. She has an immaculate midrange game, which allows for her to score some points, but we really love is her intensity on the floor and her determination to win games.
Tamaria Rumph Tamaria Rumph 5'5" | PG McClatchy | 2023 State CA – Dynamic point guard with a nice skillset that knows how to setup her teammates for easy buckets and also score at will when she has the ball in her hands. She can run the team and also is a a good defender that knows how to shutdown her opponents.
Trinity Zamora – Another long wing player who knows how to use her length on the floor and get easy buckets with her size, we love that aspect of her game, cause she is a decent rebounder as well in the paint. She is skilled on the perimeter as well and she is capable of stroking it from deep, but her best attribute is her all around skill to be a complete player on the floor, she is pretty good in our opinion.
