MoKan Showcase Class of 2026 Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top Class of 2026 forwards that caught our attention at last week's MoKan Basketball Showcase, which was held in Overland Park, KS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='783128' first='Addy' last='Seyfert'] (Grain Valley): A 5'10" forward who was very productive with her aggressive style of play. The young lefty could establish her position well inside against players of any size and she also displayed some good moves to score in the paint. She was also stepping out to hit the 15 foot jumpers. She was strong on the boards as she was taking rebounds away from opposing players with her strength. She was always giving a good second or third effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773206' first='Isla' last='Herman'] (Spring Hill, KS): A 5'10" forward who had a nice, versatile skill set on the perimeter. She was hitting 3-pointers on the pick and pop to stretch the defense. She had very good form on her shot. She could get into the lane off the dribble and elevate for the mid-range jumper. She was also running the court and getting buckets on the fast break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773203' first='Elle' last='Robinson'] (St. James Academy, KS): A 6'0" small forward who was very comfortable on the perimeter with her ball handling and passing ability. She is an unselfish player who was looking to find the open teammate before trying to get her own shot. The young lefty has some nice moves off the dribble and she can get to the basket with her long strides. Her energy level was also very high throughout the two games that I watched her play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773209' first='Kaitlyn' last='Folsom'] (Maur Hill Mt. Academy): A 6'0" small forward who good length and mobility to play numerous positions on the floor. She was stepping out to hit 3-pointers off the catch and also attacking the basket off the dribble. She used her length very well on the defensive end to get lots of deflections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773214' first='Bailey' last='Sparks'] (St. Thomas Aquinas, KS): A 5'11" forward who had a very solid game in the low post. She sealed defenders well and she had a very effective up and under move to score inside. She was also passing the ball well to find open teammates on the move. She was very active on the offensive boards as she converted numerous putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='827712' first='Ava' last='Grosdidier'] (Blue Valley NW, KS): A 5'10" forward who is strong and enjoyed the physical play in the low post. The two things that she did very well were box out for rebounding position and setting screens for her teammates. Two very important traits to have. When she had the ball inside, she used the pump fakes very well to get defenders up in the air so she could finish with a bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
