The first hour, consisted of players going through multiple drills that tested different skills with their game. After that, pre-drafted teams are put in 5 on 5 games, and they play the rest of the time. Below are a couple of 24’s and 25s standouts from the event!
Easily my favorite player from this past weekend. Ive always thought Norkus relied on her athleticism to be the player that she is, but I was completely wrong. Her athleticism is so hard to miss.. that you completely overlook the footwork, the patience, and just the pure aggression that she steps on the court with. Norkus is always the most in shape kid no matter what gym she’s in, I have yet to see her get tired, or show it. A true three level scorer, a multiple position defender and a pure athlete. Circuit season will be fun to watch, im seeing a big summer for her.
Campanelli’s skillset is versatile, energetic, aggressive and just completely hard to deal with it. She has the length, the confidence and the creativity to get her shot off from the mid and three, but especially the deep ball. Off the catch, stand still or off the bounce, doesnt matter Campanelli can get it going quickly. A strong circuit season is ahead for Anna.
Wisconsin is home to a lot of talented players, and Strifling is definitely in that group. A three level wing that can just throw off an entires team defensive plan. Lauren is tough, unbothered and has a non stop motor. She showed in almost all games that she can be whatever the team needs her to be. She can score, facilitate, and defend. A for sure program need.
Highlights
Reed is making noise, multiple times throughout the event I over heard coaches say “this kid is tough”. Corinne can score at all levels. She has a twitch to her game that allows her to play at her own pace and not get sped up. Strong handles, strong vision and the ability to play on and off the ball with the same amount of impact. Reed is what a program needs in a guard. Low maintenance and just wants to get the job done.
Highlights
Henderson has taken a step forward in her game every time Ive seen her play. Her length is noticed immediately, but her confidence to start impacting the game from a shooting perspective cant go unnoticed. On the defensive side, there’s no argument that she will get 3-5 blocks, due to her ball awareness and willingness to contest and alter shots.
Highlights
Knights skill set extends deep beyond the arc, but she can get to the rim when needed. She is longer than the majority of guards, and she knows exactly how to use it. Her moves are simple and are never forced. Defensively, the same aggression and length are utilized to defend multiple positions. Looking forward to seeing Molly on the circuit this upcoming season.
Highlights
Sydney is your perfect type of energy player. Her length and versatility allow her to guard and defend multiple positions. Countless times throughout the event, Syd would switch from guarding the 3 to the 1, without missing a beat. On the offensive side of the ball, she has a knack of being in the right place to make a play. She can score from beyond the arc, just as well as she can around the rim. A solid talent who seems to get more confident each time she takes the floor.
