Continue ReadingThe past two weekends I’ve had the privilege of providing coverage at 2 AAU Kick Off events for Prep Girls Hoops. In these two weekends I’ve seen a bunch of players with some incredible talent and skill on the floor. Below I’m going to briefly highlight some of the those players I’ve seen, wether it be because of a standout performance or their overall skill they possess.
Strong and athletic guard who got every look she wanted. Able to put the ball on the floor at a consistent rate and finish through contact. Has the ability to spread the floor and shoot from deep when given a moment to set her feet. A hard-worker who leaves everything out on the floor and plays with a positive attitude.
Lengthy forward who can do it all for her team. Has great combination of size and speed. Does a good job of being a well-rounded player. Makes small adjustments during games to help make things easier on her teammates if given the opportunity. Plays as another coach on the floor. Was really impressed with her weekend as a whole, in week 1 of this AAU season.

When it comes to point guards Jenkins was one of the best I’ve seen. The combination of her skill, speed, and IQ was incredible to witness up close. She can score at all three levels, comes to a two-footed jump stop in the lane, and can finish through contact. On defense her fast hands lead to a lot of steals and layups for her team. Overall, Jenkins is a gamer. Someone you give the ball to when you need them to make something happen in a clutch moment of a game.
A pure leader at the point guard position on the court. Does everything you ask of her and more as a coach. Solid scoring ability with an elite passing ability on the offensive end. Controls the pace of the game and never gets sped up, even when opponents bring pressure. Player that the coach can trust in the biggest moments to make the right, overall choice for her team in the end.
One of the best young guards I’ve seen so far these first two weeks. Plays the off-guard position but can handle when it is asked of her. She has a really nice shooting form. She leads with balance, good footwork, and most importantly catches with a good amount of space around her to get a shot up over a smaller defender. Possesses a good lay-up package once she gets to the hoop. Promising future.
Trinity Jones Trinity Jones 6’0″ | SF Bolingbrook | 2026 State IL possesses it all. She has length, athleticism, and skill at the forward position. She can score, defend, handle and rebound at a high rate. When looking at her how good she is now, if she can continue to expand her game over the next few seasons, she will be getting offers from every D1 school in the country by the end of it. She is the real deal. Nothing else to say.
A forward who likes to post up whenever she is give the chance. Lengthy with great knowledge of how to use her size and angles to score over smaller defenders. Can spread the floor and shoot the three or even catch in the mid-post and go to work off the dribble. Defensive stopper. Makes a lot of magic happen with the problems she causes with her ability to block or get deflections around the hoop for her squad. Player with a high ceiling and a great head on her shoulders.
