She does a very good job directing traffic as the point guard and possesses excellent handles and does a good job getting her teammates involved. Sharp court vision and a smooth defender, Janaya is a solid leader. <em>(feature photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='745427' first='Madison' last='Coffee'], [program_tooltip program_id='712480' first='Dayton' last='Metro']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":645744,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/Madison-Coffee.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-645744" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madison is a long stretch four who can beat you both inside the paint and on the perimeter. She has an excellent outside game and a good, quick shot off the pass. Able to penetrate well against the defense and can knock down a nice midrange jumper. Soft touch at the rim. Very smart player, good basketball IQ and adjusts well to the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ariyanna Sutton, [program_tooltip program_id='714288' first='Bluegrass' last='Girls Basketball']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is natural floor leader for her team and a very effective passer. She has outstanding court awareness, runs the break well and loves to push tempo. Quick hands and a solid on-ball defender. Can do so much well, also does the little things for her team to be successful. Just a pure baller!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Da'Shai Shepard, [program_tooltip program_id='712744' first='Premier' last='Basketball Club']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":645660,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/Da_shai-Shepard.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-645660" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most improved kids I have seen this summer, she is from my area of Dayton, Ohio and expect her to increase her impact this high school season. Strong physical kid with a great drop-step move and good hands around the rim. Can knock down the perimeter shot. Defensively she creates issues in the paint and is so strong on the boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Candra Frazier, [program_tooltip program_id='715843' first='Kentucky' last='Elite'] 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is such an athlete, makes plays happen with her quick hands and excellent handles. Can handle pressure pretty well. Moves well without the ball and defensively, can control her opponent. Reacts well and anticipates the play to deflect and come up with steals. Good finisher around the rim with either hand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='655457' first='Rowan' last='Radaszewski'], Kentucky Elitę 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":663000,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/Rowan-Radaszewski.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-663000" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Love her game! She has good length and is able to defend multiple positions. Good handles and a nice pull-up perimeter game. She has a nice soft touch at the rim, smooth shooter. She is focused on becoming a better player and is always looking to improve her game to the next level. Can let it fly with good range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Morgan Kuhl, The Naturals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-footer who is a double-double waiting to happen. She can run the floor and finishes against traffic in the paint. Able to also step out and knock down the perimeter shot out behind the arc. She had some moves that made you look twice, and is continuing to learn the game. Good prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jocelyn Kotowicz, The Naturals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":511593,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/09/81-Jocelyn-Kotowicz-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-511593" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jocelyn can score from all three levels and is a knockdown shooter from the three. Really automatic from deep. She has added to her arsenal this year and attacks the rim well with very good finishing moves. Just a tough player to defend. She will only keep getting better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
