Highlights
The size of McIntosh is impactful. She has a strong build with long arms. India is an effective rebounder and does a nice job anchoring the paint, blocking shots by walling up and not swatting down. McIntosh’s willingness to do the dirty work will always be a positive.
Kniceley cut her teeth the past two seasons as an energizer bunny for South Forsyth, quick to steals and a sharp driver to the basket. Jadyn brings infectious effort on both ends of the floor. Her nose for the ball puts her in the mix nearly every possession. With the 2023 class out the door, expect Kniceley to have the offense run through her more often.
Schools will want to take a look at the long and lanky forward from middle Georgia. Rionna’s mobility and skill are interesting. Byrd covers ground as a defender and uses her reach to alter shots around the rim. Offensively, she can score on putbacks through contact and has a soft touch from the mid-range.
