Woodard is a long and athletic guard with some nice moves in her bag. She has proven that she can get through multiple defenders with ease and finish through contact. She’s a great shooter behind the arc as well. She is a great passer and has the ability to set up her teammates for success. Defensively, her lateral quickness and length set her apart.
The 5’11 guard is exciting to watch and tough to guard. Her signature crossover is quick and shifts any defenders that come her way. Her athleticism makes her tough to guard at the rim and defensively makes her a great rim defender and shot changer. With plenty of division 1 offers from schools such as Ohio State, Florida State, Miami, and more she is sure to have an impressive summer.
The combo guard led her team to becoming EYBL Birmingham 17s champions. Her court vision creates for better opportunities for her teammates and she delivered many dimes to her teammates throughout the tournament. She has a nice vertical giving her an advantage on the boards despite her height. She also creates for herself, attacking the basket hard and pulling up when help side defenders do not step up. She is a catalyst for Essence’s 17U team and is sure to have a competitive summer.

Francis is a strong and lengthy forward. There is not much that can stop her at the rim, she can finish through multiple defenders, powering through fouls and taking herself to the free throw line. Defensively, its hard to ignore her presence in the paint, she changes shots and crashes the boards. She has already received offers from division 1 schools in Florida. With her size and ceiling she is likely to seek attention from coaches across the country during the coming live periods.
Schmitt is an efficient and shifty guard. She shoots the ball well and can get downhill when her team needs a bucket. In one game she contributed 18 points and 6 assists for her team. The Syracuse commit knows her role on her team and plays it well. She is fun to watch and if you haven’t seen her play, she is definitely one to catch on the circuit.
