<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AAU season is upon us which means Team Previews are in full swing. In this article, I'll be taking an in-depth look at the Under Armor-sponsored [program_tooltip program_id='712463' first='Colorado' last='Basketball Club'] (CBC). I'll be breaking down 15U-17U from players to watch, standouts, and names to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17U GUAA Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495929' first='Tori' last='Baker'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216705' first='Keira' last='Mitchell'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495816' first='Addison' last='Branscum'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216644' first='Sofia' last='Baldesarri'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emily DeHaan 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='118726' first='Jenna' last='Krise'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216688' first='Caitlin' last='Kramer'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='361386' first='Ezra' last='Simonich'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='820585' first='Maddie' last='Hartel'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='331176' first='Reagan' last='Lentell'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 17U roster is well-rounded and has plenty of players that can change a game at any given time. As they head into a tough UAA season they'll look to [player_tooltip player_id='216688' first='Caitlin' last='Kramer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='216644' first='Sofia' last='Baldesarri'] to do the bulk of the scoring offensively as both of fully capable, averaging 46.5 points between the two this past year. Once you add that with the shooting ability of [player_tooltip player_id='361386' first='Ezra' last='Simonich'] and [player_tooltip player_id='118726' first='Jenna' last='Krise'] teams will have trouble playing help side leaving [player_tooltip player_id='495816' first='Addison' last='Branscum'] and [player_tooltip player_id='820585' first='Maddie' last='Hartel'] plenty of room to get into the paint. [player_tooltip player_id='495929' first='Tori' last='Baker'] will the at the helm as far as the point guard position goes pushing the pace and getting the offense set up. While this team does have it all the one real X-Factor of this team will be the play of [player_tooltip player_id='216705' first='Keira' last='Mitchell'], I believe this summer will be her coming out party as far as showing what she is able to do on both sides of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16U GUAA Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='492135' first='Madeline' last='Gibbs'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='374185' first='Kavi' last='Voglund'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='612843' first='Tatyonna' last='Brown'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495925' first='Talia' last='Strode'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='474846' first='Kiyarra' last='Williams'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ramah Khammas 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329411' first='Avery' last='Alcaraz'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495885' first='Kniyah' last='Dumas'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329404' first='Abigail' last='Dille'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329394' first='Kaitlin' last='Schumann'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the last couple of years, this 16U team has been elite. They've been able to effectively manage how to configure the players to where everybody has an important role and feels important. This year's team is no different. The most underrated addition to this team would have to [player_tooltip player_id='612843' first='Tatyonna' last='Brown'] of Air Academy. A player I believe has one of the highest ceilings in her class as she has the ability to score with her back to the basket and off the dribble. This roster also has a great scoring duo in [player_tooltip player_id='329404' first='Abigail' last='Dille'] and [player_tooltip player_id='329394' first='Kaitlin' last='Schumann'] two girls that may not look like much but can score in bunches changing the outcome of games. [player_tooltip player_id='495885' first='Kniyah' last='Dumas'] and [player_tooltip player_id='329411' first='Avery' last='Alcaraz'] are the players that will have to step up and play crucial minutes at the guard spot. Both are capable of handling the pressure in the backcourt while also being able to score from all three levels. [player_tooltip player_id='492135' first='Madeline' last='Gibbs'] returns as the shape shooter on the team looking to build upon the great summer campaign, she had last year on this team. Next to her will be [player_tooltip player_id='495925' first='Talia' last='Strode'] another girl that she able to knock down the 3 at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15U GUAA Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='571018' first='Myah' last='Abeyta'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='327647' first='Emma' last='Guida'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kierrah Pinchon 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='510719' first='Juliet' last='Slater'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='470962' first='Lily' last='Blanchard'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sydney Davis 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='631436' first='Addison' last='Moon'] 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='631435' first='Katie' last='Moon'] 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15U teams can be tough to get a good grasp of because there is so much uncertainty with the younger players. With this team in particular there are 4-5 girls that we've been able to watch for the past couple of years. [player_tooltip player_id='327647' first='Emma' last='Guida'] is a player that will be depended on to be the leader on and off the court for this squad. Her having a big summer is what I'm expecting as she will need to be able to score efficiently and be confident doing in it. Sydney Davis provides the team with a quality wing that is able to score in a variety of ways and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty on defense. [player_tooltip player_id='470962' first='Lily' last='Blanchard'] will be one of the X-factors for this team with her ability to knock down and apply pressure on defense and that is where she will separate herself. The Moon twins, Addison and Katie are 8^th&nbsp;graders that are good enough to play up a year and with that will come a lot of adjusting. Which I think they're ready for. They are both lights-out shooters that stretch the defense and have to be gameplanned for. They also give this team two more capable ball handlers that will make beating the press a lot easier.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
