Channah Gannon
Gannon could be a solid high-post player at the next level. She is patient when the ball gets in her hands, has a nice touch, sees the floor well, and has a quicker first step than people probably expect. I also went back to see what Gannon did in high school, and playing passing lanes was not what I expected. I thought she was a post-kid that could slip through the cracks of some schools, but she’ll help improve an offense and defense.
Abby Price
I’m a sucker for kids who space the floor, and Price was one of them. What I loved about her was how prepared to shoot whenever the ball got to her. Due to her being ready to shoot on the catch, she can get her shots up quickly and punish defenses for giving her any space. She’s not ball-dominant but helps her team succeed. Price isn’t someone who’ll be on highlight reels, but I suspect the teams she plays on win a fair bit, and her teammates and coaches all appreciate her.

Ever since the high school season ended, it’s felt like the spring season turned into the summer of Katelyn McGinnis Katelyn McGinnis 5'10" | CG Kimberly | 2025 State WI . I had heard of her playing well in EYBL, and I’d seen it on streams, but I finally got to see her this summer in person, and she didn’t disappoint. Any time she got any room to shoot, she didn’t even hit the rim when making shots, and the last thing I watched of her was a left-handed layup, finished through heavy contact, and she hit the floor hard enough to break the sport court. She was phenomenal.
Ariella Henigan
The Kenwood product hit a game-tying three-pointer as time expired in one of the games I watched her play. Henigan is someone that makes things happen on the floor. I wouldn’t consider her a one or a two because when she’s on the floor because she’s looking to make a play. I doubt any team she plays on struggles getting a look at the rim because she’s a tough shotmaker, and she can attack the basket and find open teammates based on where the help comes from.
