Tori Hines-5’3 CG ( United Lady Elite 2025) Charles Patterson MS [2027]
Hines is an athletic guard that understands how to use her athleticism on both ends and every time I saw her, she was applying “on the ball” pressure, baseline to baseline as she falls into that “never takes a play-off” type of player. She scored off the dribble yet her court vision in the open court was n Texas Ice as she made on the money 20 foot passes in traffic for assist opportunities. She also understands how to control the tempo while handling the ball under pressure
Alyanna Brewer-6’0 F ( Texas Ice ‘] 2025) Checotah [2025]
Brewer immediately grabbed my attention by going after everything off the rim, on both ends, and her desire to BATTLE for the ball, including loose balls, gets her the #THRO WBA CK hashtag. She’s one of those players that can change the complexion of a game with her mere presence on the court but she scored off the dribble strongly, her deceptive first step played a part in that, and she finished strongly after contact. She also played solid interior defense
Lynden Campbell-5’5 CG ( Team Stay Ready 2025) Lewisville [2025]
Campbell. like the soup, was Mmm, Mmm, Good as she ran her team to precision on Sunday. She impressed on Saturday yet I was overly impressed as she set her teammates up for gimmes countless times but her court vision was impressive on both days, both in the set and in transition. Her on-the-ball defense was also smothering both days and she played the passing lane consistently but Sunday, she showed she could take over offensively, either off the dribble or dropping the jumper with a hand in her face
Khalia Moore Khalia Moore 6'0" | SF Stillwater | 2026 State OK -6’2 C ( Team HQ 2025) Stillwater [2026]
Moore is “long and athletic” so need I say MORE? Yes, because that “is the base” and when you factor in her upside, aka potential, I enjoyed watching her come out of nowhere to block shots. Her timing also made players alter their shots and she even deflected a couple in front of me but what really got me was her “hands and footwork” around the basket, that too is #THRO WBA CK and watching her not only rebound on both ends but score on putbacks after contact tells me a lot on what’s coming
Eliana Santiago-5’6 G ( LockedNElite Red 2025) LD Bell [2025]
Santiago understands how to take a game completely over whenever she wants. Please understand she’s unselfish and gets her teammates involved and she doesn’t mind getting hers “in the flow” yet she can flip the switch in the blink of an eye and take the defender off the dribble, with either hand, and score using body control, with either hand, after contact. She also did a good job of creating her shot under pressure to drop the mid and long-range jumper. She also did a good job defensively
