There were plenty of New England players at the showcase looking to display their skills and abilities to coaches, scouts and classmates around the region. It was an action-packed day of basketball and a reminder that some of the nation’s best girls basketball players come from the New England area. Check out my player evaluations below to see who shined.
A 6’2 power forward, Emily Collins Emily Collins 6’2″ | PF Winchester | 2024 State NewE is a double-double threat every night. With an ability to create her own shot with strong, aggressive cuts to the basket and excellent footwork, Collins is a constant shot-making threat a few feet from the basket. Her rebounding is a difference-maker for teammates, creating second chance opportunities on the offensive end and soaring up to grab defensive rebounds.
Sheedy-Goff is an intimidating post presence with keen shot-blocking abilities. She’s a persistent challenger on the defensive end, and a tough rebounder who can punish teammates with a putback or second chance opportunity. In addition to her skills close to the basket, she also has the confidence and range to knock down a bucket from beyond the arc.
Black is third overall and the first-ranked at her position in the 2025 New England HS Girls Basketball Rankings for a reason. A versatile combo guard, Black sets the tempo for the Jaguars. Her size and athleticism allow her to play physically and also get her shot off the bounce. Expect Black’s game to continue to improve as she enters her junior season.
Highlights
Keswick is tall, speedy wing with good footwork and a smooth jumper. She has the ability to weave through the defense to the bucket, and can also connect on a jumper or an open three. She’s an offensive threat all over the court, so defenses can never get to comfortable. She has the potential to be an impactful freshman at Northwestern for the 2024-25 season in a very competitive and talented Big Ten Conference.
