Insider Exposure hosted a number of the top teams from all across Florida as well as all across the country. We took in some of the action at Bolles School. Here are some of the class of 2025-26 wings and posts.
Class of 2025
Nyla McFadden Nyla McFadden 5'11" | SF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2025 State FL (St. Thomas Aquinas) – 6’1 Wing – Class of 2025
McFadden played hard and was very active throughout the game. She is a raw talent with excellent wingspan, an athletic build and a high level of potential. She went and got balls out of area on the boards and is a big-time athlete with major hops! McFadden finished well driving to the rim aggressively.
Ejiroghene Praise (NFEI) – 6’3 Forward
Praise is a big front court player with a wide body and mass. The is legit 6’3 with raw, untapped talent that make her an extremely intriguing prospect. She was a new face that I had not seen play yet. In a state that does not have many post players over 6’1 Praise is certainly a prospect that has a high ceiling and someone to track and follow. Her offensive development, work ethic and her conditioning will all play a role in what level she can play at collegiately and what type of high school player she can become over the next three years.
Abby Price Abby Price 5'11" | SG Westminster Academy | 2025 State FL (Westminster Academy) – 5’11 Guard
Price is a tall wing that has great height at the perimeter position. She does a good job of being shot ready at the wing and in the corners. She has a quick release, good form, and shoots a high percentage from 3.
Dezuray McGill Dezuray McGill 6'2" | C American Heritage | 2025 State FL (American Heritage) – 6’0 Forward
McGill is an athletic 6’0 forward who is versatile and athletic on both ends of the court. She moves exceptionally well, is an active shot blocker and rebounder who covers a lot of ground. In the event, she did a good job finishing in the paint both on offensive put backs and on drop passes from her teammates. She moves really well for a post player, running the floor hard in transition and chasing down loose balls and 50/50 balls.
Kali Barrett Kali Barrett 6'2" | SF Cardinal Mooney | 2025 State FL (Cardinal Mooney) – 6’1 Wing/Forward
Barrett looked like a completely different player than the last time I seen her as she had grown several inches and is not more of a wing hybrid then a scoring combo guard. Her body, length and athleticism are all really intriguing qualities that make her a high-level college prospect. Her tall and long build look the part of a number of bodies that you can see on a collegiate court now. Not just an athlete, Barret is versatile and can play multiple positions both on the interior and on the perimeter. She was quiet in the first half and was much more aggressive on the offensive end in the second half scoring in multiple ways and running the court for easy baskets in transition.
Lourdes Da Silva Costa Lourdes Da Silva Costa 6'3" | PF Monteverde Academy | 2025 State FL (Montverde Academy) – 6’3 Forward
Da Silva Costa is one of Montverde Academy’s youngest prospects coming off the bench. She is a strong, athletic forward with a great build. She played extremely and aggressive, posting up physically and rebounding in the paint.
Class of 2026
J’yan Tyrell (Chaminade Madonna) – 6’0 Forward
Tyrell was one of the lone interior presences in the paint for Chaminade Madonna that is a young, guard heavy team. She was very active and aggressive on the boards and used her size and mass well. The strong, undersized low post player worked hard to get low post touches and establish herself on the block.
Carleyssia Wallace Carleyssia Wallace 5'11" | SF Palm Bay | 2026 State FL (Palm Bay) – 6’0 Forward
Wallace is a young new face who has a great body. She played limited minutes at the forward position on a talented Palm Bay squad but likely will be one of the teams go to players for years to come. Wallace is young, strong, and athletic and at 6’0 as a freshman is not done growing. She has major potential and could be a big time stock riser!
