Some will create an immediate impact to their teams. Here are some that we believe will be ready on day one.
Mya will add some interior size and length to McDonogh and should free up Kennedy Umeh Kennedy Umeh 6’4″ | C McDonogh | 2024 State MD to have some big games. If Kennedy forces double teams I can see Mya roaming free and making an impact by doing the basics. Defensively with her length she will be a disruption and the towers will be a force.
Cayenne enters a unique situation with a new staff and a revamped team coming off of a one win season. The opportunity for her to develop and shine is limitless right now. She has skills to play all the perimeter positions where I think she will fit well and she has a nice looking shot. She may, however, be asked to play some in the paint by necessity. Either way she should help add some wins for the Vikings.
Highlights
Watching Jayda come in a game at the freshman showcase and immediately make an impact in the game definately put her on my radar. Attending Sidwell Friends puts her at the highest level of high school basketball. Even with the graduation of their seniors they still have a deep team, if she shows the same aggressiveness that she showed against her peers, she will fit in just fine to keep the legacy going.
Kayden, should be able to an immediate impact. When given the green light she can be the teams entire offense. Now that the levels have changed can she still do the things that was successful against the middle school players? The Dragons weren’t very competitive last season so the green light is on, the next level for her will be making her teammates better.
Highlights
Charlotte may have found the perfect home at Georgetown Visitation. The Cubs have a good history of developing players and getting them floor access early in their careers. If the PGH Freshman Showcase was any indication of how she will play in practice she should earn her spot. She uses her body well when attacking and is a good finisher. Going against high school level players will be a lot different and the ISL is pretty tough especially on the top. We will definately be keeping an eye on her this season to see how she adjusts.
