She creates offense for herself and others, can handle ball pressure and get into sets, and she plays off the ball inside or out. Moreover, she's a physical presence on both ends who rebounds the rock well, hustles for 50/50 balls and extra possessions, and can defend 2-4. Jasmin is skillful with a high motor to go with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='592897' first='Anna' last='Ebert'], 5'5 G/W - St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anna is a instinctual floor spacer and slasher who makes the basketball play with decisiveness. Her slashing provides scoring opportunities in the second layer and kick outs for jumpers. Moreover, she's an intelligent mover off ball with a solid jumper off the catch. Defensively, Anna never backs down. She's gritty and full of hustle. Anna has a strong and tough approach to her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584222' first='Zoey' last='McNabb'], 5'4 PG - Champlain Valley Union High School Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure floor general, [player_tooltip player_id='584222' first='Zoey' last='McNabb'] made significant strides over last summer and fall going into winter, and the D1 State Champs never missed a beat when she came in to lead the second unit. McNabb is a measured facilitator, never forcing as she sets up the offense and attacks the defense. Furthermore, she's incredibly agile with her foot speed as a ballhandler and when applying defensive pressure. She's smart, steady, and highly coachable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481454' first='Lexie' last='Litchfield'], 5'4 G - Colchester High School Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The combo-guard is cunning and quick. Lexie is a hardnosed defender who is willing to pick up full court and get in ballhandlers air space. Moreover, she can handle pressure fairly well herself as she helps orchestrate the offense as a ball mover and facilitator. Litchfield has shown flashes of her slashing and jump shooting too; I'm excited to see her ongoing development. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1046824' first='Anya' last='Davis'], 5'5 G - Colchester High School Class of 2027</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anya plays with a bull-like mentality. She's a physical combo-guard who puts constant pressure on the rim and initiates contact on her drives. Moreover, her vision as she attacks the paint creates a ton of open looks for floor spacers and forwards in the short corner/block. And defensively, she's just as tough. Anya is physical, a smart rotator, she hustles for loose balls, and is a rebounding presence from the perimeter. So much to like. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='647510' first='Meg' last='Allbee'], 5'8 G/W - Vermont Academy Class of 2027 </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Meg, you have someone who can play 1-3. She handles the ball well and can set up the offense, yet at the same time her off-ball movement, snappy passing, and quick drives off the catch make her a dangerous wing player. Albee slashes hard and finishes well on both sides, plus her jumper is coming along. Defensively she can cover multiple perimeter positions with her length and anticipation. I'm excited to see more of Albee. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cassie Clark, 5'6 G/W - Windsor High School Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark is a gluey floor spacer who ties the offense together. She's a solid shooter off the catch and can get paint touches for kick outs and dump passes. Furthermore, her passing is fluid and timely, providing cutters, screeners, and post players opportunities to score the rock. Defensively, Cassie is a good help defender who rotates nicely when scrambling. Solid stuff from Clark. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
