The USC commit made her case for 1st-Team consideration on day one, and all she did the rest of the tourney was prove why not having her on the 1st-Team would be ludicrous. Very few players at the tourney were as consistent and dangerous offensively as Madison. Her burst off the bounce was difficult for defenders to keep up with, and her decision-making with the ball made matters even worse. Her ability to slice through defenses was a thing of beauty as she kept defenders off balance with her change of speed and change of direction ability. South Carolina has an athletic floor general en route.

I have already put ink on Mia in a previous article from the tourney, but let me just say Mia is a player that got stronger as the tourney went on. Every day she matched and surpassed her play from the previous day. She owned the interior and was highly productive on both ends of the floor in the paint. She showed that she can score like a traditional post player, as well as from the mid-range with the jumper or off the bounce. If she can expand her game beyond the arc, her threat level will go out the roof. She listed her top 5 schools as: Georgia, Wake, Penn State, ECU, and UCF.

The Trinity Train was full steam ahead every time that she took the court. She was one of the purest lead guards in the entire tourney. She is a tough and fearless playmaker who did an amazing job orchestrating and getting her teammates involved. She has a high PG IQ, a good feel and understanding of the game, and knows how to set the table for her teammates. Now setting the table is one thing, but what Trinity does exceptionally well is getting the rock to her teammates with her unique passing ability once the table has been set. Trinity is a winner and the type of lead guard whose teammates love to go into battle with because her passionate play is infectious. She listed the following schools that are on her radar. Georgia, UCF, Mississippi State, and Arizona State.
Regan Williams (6’2/SF/’24/Missouri Phenom 17U EYBL)

The Kansas commit was absolutely phenomenal throughout camp, and she did it all without having to be a significant scoring threat on the offensive end of the floor. She is an energetic defender who locks in on her defender and creates a lot of problems for potential scorers. She offers rim protection as well as reliable help-side defense. Kansas will be getting a competitive on-ball defender with the length to be a versatile piece when it comes to their switching defense. She was very active on the glass and was the first to almost all 50/50 balls. In nearly every game she played, she did not rely on scoring to impact the game, yet her play was a significant factor in her team’s success.

The LSU commit made a statement to all who came to Basketball On The Bayou that she runs Louisiana. It is hard to say that there was another individual as impressive as Jada. Her bag of offensive tricks was unmatched by anyone in the tourney. Her playmaking ability was difficult to contain as she was able to get her shot at any time of any possession. She rebounded well from the guard spot, and her clutch play was off the charts. There is a saying that the rich get richer, which exactly applies to Coach Kim Mulkey when it comes to Jada stepping on campus next year. I could say so much about Jada, her play, and what she will bring to LSU, but let me keep you in anticipation and locked in when it comes time for Jada to suit up in the purple and gold.
