15U Other Top Performers-Dynasty Region Finals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I caught some of the teams multiple times while viewing remotely and here are some of the other players that stood out during the event</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jakaila Ware-5'5 G (Natchitoches Central 2026) 9450 Family Renegades 2026 [2026] Louisiana </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ware has the right last name because her on-the-ball defense showed she could wear down defenders by applying pressure. This helped create turnovers yet she also dove on the floor for loose balls numerous times. Her ballhandling was solid, she does a good job attacking the basket off the dribble and she finished strongly </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493412' first='Harper' last='Floyd']-5'11 F (Willard) Mo Legacy 2026 [2026] Missouri</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Floyd showed power in the paint and her finishing around the basket after contact was nice. She also went after the ball off the rim, on both ends of the floor plus she scored on putbacks. I love her upside because she just keeps coming at you and that was apparent with her interior defense as she applied heat</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='895168' first='Gwen' last='Kubik']-6'0 F (Nixa) [program_tooltip program_id='715751' first='Missouri' last='Storm'] 2026 [2026] Missouri</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kubik is a couple of inches shy of "the magic number" which is 6'0 yet her adding being "long and athletic" which happens to be the base, will attract next-level attention on that alone. Her intangibles are she rebounds on both ends, runs the floor, and plays solid defense in the paint but her "hands and footwork" to score around the basket was really nice </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Torrie Miller-5'10 F (Elkins) J Squad 2026 [2027] Arkansas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller is also a couple of inches shy of 6'0 but she actually plays taller than she is. She did a good job rebounding on both ends of the court, scored around the basket, and even faced the basket to get her shot off. She also showed she could defend but when I looked at the roster and saw she was playing up, well those two letters start off UPSIDE which is high</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Allison Koehrer-6'2 C (Parkway South) [program_tooltip program_id='715845' first='Mavericks' last='Basketball Center'] 2026 [2026] Missouri</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Koehrer was another "long and athletic" player that caught my eye. Her being over "the magic number" played a part in it yet her skill set on the inside had me smiling. I love simple things that turn out to be big, she keeps the ball high, she has nice footwork and she scored around the basket. She also did a good job rebounding yet her timing to block shots was really good </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='634243' first='Arika' last='Feldman']-5'11 G/F (Little River) Lady PGU Hoops 2026 [2026] Kansas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Feldman did quite a few things and her versatility along with her size are things that attract coaches from the next level. First of all, she can shoot it and by that, I mean mid to long-range while being defended. She also showed she could "catch and shoot" from deep and to keep the defender honest, she attacked the basket and finished after contact. Her defense was solid and she played the passing lane </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='486469' first='Jorgianna' last='Rogers']-5'7 G (Plano East) A1 Sauce 2026 [2026] Texas </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rogers' deceptive first step enables her to get the defender to lean so she can attack the basket. Her body control is nice and it helps her finish after contact but she also does a good job creating her shot to drop the jumper. Her court vision, in the set and in transition looked good, she rebounded and played the passing lane </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Neha Sasser- 5'9 G (Magnolia) REAL Lady Ballers 2026 [2026] Texas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sasser gets the cover because she's an athletic guard that understands how to use her athleticism on both ends. Her defense in the set was good yet baseline to baseline it was smothering at times. She has quick hands and came away with steals but her first step was also quick as she attacked the basket from multiple angles to finish. Her court vision was nice, she also scored from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Natalie Coons-5'4 G (Kickapoo) [program_tooltip program_id='713054' first='Yanders' last='Law'] 2026 [2026] Missouri</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coons understands how to get the defender off balance, her slight HEZ played a part, so did her burst to get by them. In the open court, she hit teammates on the money but her court vision in the set, especially when she attacked was also nice. She created her shot and knocked it down while being defended, she also dropped the long ball and showed she could "catch and shoot" it </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
