All bringing impressive offensive production within their own roles, keep eyes on these prospects moving into larger roles within their requisite programs.    [player_tooltip player_id='374107' first='Zoe' last='Wittler'] - Frederick - 2025   Wittler has shown value as a quick trigger shooter off the catch while doing her part to impact the glass. At roughly 5'6, the guard will step into a much larger role next season, following the departure of multiple key senior contributors. Wittler has quick instincts surveying the floor, whether taking a jump shot or throwing a well timed entry pass into the post. Wittler is effective at pushing the pace, recognizing where the open shooter is and tossing the outlet pass. No doubt that the guard will be able to grow into a larger offensive role, based on her IQ alone.    [player_tooltip player_id='374181' first='Brooklyn' last='Robbins'] - Lamar - 2025   Robbins is a physical scorer who played a pivotal role in Lamar's success this past season. The incoming junior is determined to gain position in the paint, either through post backdowns or by crashing the glass. Robbins does an excellent job getting low and hooking opponents in the post, keeping position while freezing defenders when she makes an immediate move. Following the departure of fellow teammate Abby Robbins, there will be a growing need for the incoming junior's physicality in the paint. Her growth as a playmaker down low will be worth tracking, given how much gravity she attracts as is.    [player_tooltip player_id='374156' first='Alicia' last='Trujillo'] - Westminster - 2025   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/65-Alicia-Trujillo.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-620114" width="299" height="168" /></figure>   Trujillo is a confident two-way prospect, bringing value as a quick trigger shooter alongside valuable instincts on the defensive end. The incoming junior guard possesses a quick shot off the catch, coming in third in three point attempts with Westminster. She does a great job utilizing the half court flow to manuever off-ball, leveraging a spaced out floor for catch and shoot threes. Should the opponents close out too hard, Trujillo is capable attacking downhill to score at the rim or get to her drive and kick to repeat the process. Defensively, she is active in the full court, staying aggressive trapping opponents and keeping both arms up high to deflect a potential pass. She is assertive in help situations, playing angles to stunt drives while making those subsequent kickout passes much more difficult.    [player_tooltip player_id='510712' first='Jaela' last='Pedro'] -  St. Mary's - 2026   Pedro brings skill and strength as a physical guard with quickly progressing upside as a shotmaker. At roughly 5'10, Pedro does is a confident shotmaker along the perimeter, having full trust in his spot-up jump shot. She has no trouble rising up through contests, always shot ready no matter the cirucmstances. Just know Pedro is not just a shooter, she does an excellent job of utilizing her strength to contribute on layups and post touches. Proving especially dependable with her left hand, Pedro is capable of bullying opposing backcourt defenders down low, for left hand hooks and finishes out of the pivot. Her physical tools play a big role in her defensive rebounding production, doing well impacting winning on those 50/50 balls. As an incoming sophomore, Pedro brings great offensive value off the jump.
