Hannah Holms, 6-1 Always 100 United 17U
Excellent offensive rebounder, can get position and can finish at the rim. A smart player knows where to be to be able to get the rebound and can finish through contact. Plays her best basketball close to the rim. Is able to step out and create a play. Hard working defender who looks to help her team create on the other end of the floor.
Alyssa Quinones, 5-2 NWI Select
I like her court vision, able to thread the pass in the paint to a moving teammate. Solid point guard who displayed good work ethic and is able to create for herself or her team. Has good handles and can run the floor well. Defensively she displayed grit and her on-ball defense was solid, with active hands and used the sidelines well as a defender with the trap.
Madelyn Mielczarek, 5-8 NWI Select
Good perimeter jump shot, moves well, and gets into position. Can anticipate well on the defensive end, has some length to be able to alter the passing lanes. Good mechanics and maintains composure and focus in a close game. Has good handles and can push tempo.
Madinique Shibata, 5-7 Team G 2024
Very frustrating defensive player when she puts pressure on the ball, she forces turnovers. Love her intensity, she’s always on the floor and around the ball. High energy and plays with a high motor. Her electric quickness is a game changer!!
Aleeziah Anderson, 5-7 Lifeline Elite Sports
Incredible athlete and great control of her body as she can get to the rim. Super aggressive on defense and can turn mistakes into points. Was the highlight of her team in the game I saw, I really liked how she approaches the game. Plays with a lot of intensity and can score on anyone.
Danica Shamion, 5-6 Great Northern Elite 2024
Good quickness anticipates on defense, can make the steal. Love her swag and effort, always gives 100% and pushes! A smart player with a solid basketball IQ, she helped lead her team to a big victory in their first game. She has a good future ahead of her.
