The 5-9 sophomore small forward was scoring on the interior as well as outside the perimeter throughout the weekend at the 7th Annual Southern Jam. Knauff plays with a competitive edge and gets her teammates involved on a consistent basis. Knauff has huge upside as she gears up for her junior season and could be a mid-major D1 caliber playmaker.
The 5-10 freshman wing has a mature game beyond her years whether it’s initiating the offense or playing in transition. Beyer is one of the best perimeter shooters in the Class of 2026 knocking down several 3-pointers throughout the weekend. Her versatility and unselfishness also took rise to the occasion as she continues to transition into a guard.
Highlights
The 6-1 junior forward is developing a true all-around game whether it’s working in the post or as a rim runner. Coyle had a fantastic weekend whether it was her scoring or her rebounding presence. Coyle was very active on the floor and making the extra pass when a double team was forced on her. Coyle holds offers from Mercer and Vermont so far as her recruitment process is starting to heat up.
The 5-6 junior guard is a relentless point guard who can create havoc on the offensive end. Her crafty ball-handling skills and unselfishness has also drawn attention to defenses and never takes a possession off. Murphy is a crafty scorer and can really shoot it from the perimeter.
The 6-0 junior forward showed her versatility whether it was her rebounding or her interior scoring. McClain grew her game into becoming a reliable three-level scorer as she has grown to expand her range on the offensive end. McClain has also grown to expand her range and become a perimeter threat where she shot almost 40 percent from beyond the arc in four games this past weekend.
