Jahnae Nickerson Jahnae Nickerson 5'9" | PG Porter | 2026 State TX [2026]
Nickerson had “IT” when I first saw her a few years ago however at an exclamation point because she has taken her game to another level. She’s a long and athletic guard that is learning how to take a game over on both ends yet her explosiveness both in the open court as well as in the set makes her hard to contain. Factor in she can drop the jumper, mid to long range so that gives her options but she also has good court vision and slid on the ball defense
Marc’kalia Celestine [2025]
Celestine showed a lot of upside when I caught her right before the club season and I can tell she’s been working because let me start with she’s tall, long, and athletic, which is a double positive as far as next-level coaches are concerned. She attacks off the dribble strongly and finishes powerfully but her rebounding, on both ends, as well as handling the ball in the open court after has improved, and so has her timing
Kate Nobles [2025]
Noble falls into that ZONE BUSTER category because she not only has range, she creates her shot under pressure. She also mixed it up to attack the basket as well as drop it from midrange but her getting t off while being defended quickly, aka the “catch and shoot” looked pretty good from where I was sitting
Nife Adene [2026]
Adene is an athletic guard that uses her athleticism on both ends, yes another one but her scoring off the dribble and not only finishing after contact but creating contact while attacking was nice. She also did a good job defending, “on the ball”, as well as playing the passing lane

Nicole Rebolledo [2024]
Robeleddo has been showing me the pull-up has a little something extra as she dropped the stop-and-pop in transition. She also does a good job of creating her shot in the set and her court vision in the half-hour t as well as in transition was nice
Renata Rebolledo [2024]
Robelledo understands how to get to the basket and whether it’s her first step or the slight HEZ, she not only attacked the basket with either hand, she finished after contact using good body control. She also dropped the midrange and saw the floor
Addie McClain [2024]
McClain has been working, I mentioned dropping the midrange to give her options in the earlier article. She already understands how to use her frame to score around the basket more but her attacking the basket and finishing gracefully with body control was very nice
