Rikai Cook Rikai Cook 5'5" | SG Shawnee Mission Northwest | 2027 State KS , 5’6″, SG, Shawnee Mission Northwest – My colleague Jeremy Deckard caught her in early July. He liked her hustle, strength, and finishing ability. He also noted her shooting ability and that she has a solid, all-around game.
Ruth Gipson Ruth Gipson 6'0" | PF SMNW | 2027 State KS , 6’0″, G/F, Shawnee Mission Northwest – Invited to Preferred Athlete Scouting Services July event in Orlando. BFD
Hayden Halliday Hayden Halliday 5'5" | PG Olathe South | 2027 State KS , CG, Olathe South – Halliday was a PGH 16U Battle in the Sunflower all-tournament team selection this summer. She shoots the ball well with a quick release and finishes using the glass well with either hand. What I especially like about her game is her smarts. Halliday anticipates well on both ends of the floor and is a charge call waiting to happen.
Chloe Hartzler Chloe Hartzler 5'5" | CG Wichita South | 2027 State KS , 5’5″, CG, Wichita South – Hartzler garnered attention from other PGH scouts like Ji Kim 8.31.23 and Jason Green this past summer. Unanimously they feel she is a very high IQ, crafty shooter. They also were impressed with her handles, competitiveness, and quick ability to turn defense into offense.
Makynlee Jensen Makynlee Jensen 6'0" | C Maize | 2027 State KS , 6’0″, C, Maize – Jensen is a high potential, good sized center who changes ends solidly. Arguably her game’s best feature is her feet. She helps well on interior defense and works both sides of the basket well.
Aubrey Loman Aubrey Loman 5'2" | CG Wichita Northwest | 2027 State KS , CG, Wichita Northwest – After seeing her in July my colleague wrote about how impressed he was with her size, length, and that she”…goes AFTER everything.”
Eve Long Eve Long 6'3" | PF Olathe South | 2027 State KS , 6’3″, SF/PF, Olathe South – Long is a terrific athlete with big hands, great hops, and speed to take the ball end-to-end. Very good out of power dribble move Long scores well around the basket.
Lilly Lund Lilly Lund 5'10" | SG Blue Valley | 2027 State KS , 5’10”, SG/SF, Blue Valley – My colleague Simmie Colson noted her length and athleticism and liked her abilities to rebound the ball and go end-to-end. She also played passing lanes well defensively.
Destiny Maze Destiny Maze 5'8" | CG Wichita Heights | 2027 State KS , 5’8″, CG, Wichita Heights – Maze brings high confidence and strong handles with the dribble drive. She is athletic finishes well out of the transition game.
Deser’ee Mponezya Deser’ee Mponezya 5'9" | CG Shawnee Mission West | 2027 State KS , 5’9″, CG, Shawnee Mission West – Mponeza notably impacted the recent Missouri Freshman Showcase where my colleague Earl Austin caught her. He described her as one of the strongest, most difficult, and athletic players to defend. She is also known to be explosive and to possess a very soft shot.
Amillia Prochnow Amillia Prochnow 5'8" | PG Blue Valley | 2027 State KS , 5’7″, PG/SG, Blue Valley – Prochnow is a very quick and athletic scorer. She will eat up the ball with her quick hands where she will take it to the house or pull up for a three ball.
Maddie Vickery Maddie Vickery 6'1" | PF Washburn Rural | 2027 State KS , 6’1″, PF, Washburn Rural – Vickery does a great number of things well but arguably her best is her timing to generate shot blocks and gather rebounds. Other scouts have noted also that she works well out of the inside-out game and perimeter shooter with range. With her ability to impact to strongly impact the game on both ends teams will have to watch for her out-working opponents in the transition game too.
