The Inside Exposure Thanksgiving Classic has featured some of the top prospects in high school basketball. An event like this has allowed a lot of the unsigned and future prospects to play against the best and see how they measured up. Moreover, the tournament has allowed many to see these talented prospects up close and personal. Each of these players brought different “recipes” to the event and collectively cooked up a feast that many will talk about for ages. (Or at least until next year's Classic). In this article we look at some of the top committed prospects and give a recount of what they had cooking at the Thanksgiving Classic.   [player_tooltip player_id='245351' first='Jaloni' last='Cambridge'] was extremely impressive on the basketball court. The way she cooked on the court was as impressive. Everything that she did on the court had a little more sweetness than the others. She took one fastbreak coast to coast and finished with a double pump layup that was sweeter than pecan pie. Cambridge has unbelievable speed on the court and body control out of this world. She has ability to play at an amazingly fast pace and then stop on a dime under complete control. She got to the basket all day and scored almost at will when in transition.   [player_tooltip player_id='470470' first='Kelis' last='Fisher'] was smooth and fast at the same time. She controlled the pace and was dynamic in the open court. Fisher is as tough as they come and played through a lot of physicality, attacking the basket as much as she did. Her confidence and ability to take the hits and get to the free throw line were amazing.   [player_tooltip player_id='248320' first='Trinity' last='Turner'] (cover photo) brought the best dish of the tournament and it might go down as the best dish I've ever seen. On a fast break Turner had a teammate filling on the left lane. Turner passed the ball to the right of the defender and put a back spin on the pass. The ball bounces on the court and then changes directions, hitting the teammate on the left in stride for the left hand layup. That play should make ESPN ‘ s play of the day.   [player_tooltip player_id='331745' first='Eris' last='Lester'] played well on the offensive end, connecting on several long range shots. Lester displayed the athleticism and the insane vertical on rebounds and a few midrange shots around the paint.   [player_tooltip player_id='434911' first='Vivian' last='Iwuchukwu'] was a force on the inside. Her rebounds and inside scoring were on a different level. Leave the children in the playroom when she is cooking, because the power and force that she plays with is on another level.   [player_tooltip player_id='742509' first='Lourdes' last='Da Silva Costa'] was a treat for I watch at the tournament. She was versatile and played on the inside as well as the outside. She had some strong baskets on the inside, but could also do some cooking on the outside. Da Silva Costa connected on one long three from the top of the key, showing her versatily. She also ran the floor well in transition.   [player_tooltip player_id='409186' first='Holland' last='Harris'] got it going toward the end of her first game and had some nice finishes on the inside. Harris has a smooth midrange game and can also score in multiple ways. She had one nice shot off of a rebound and a few other 4th quarter baskets.   [player_tooltip player_id='217664' first='Lexi' last='Blue'] scored 20 points on Day 1 of tournament connecting on 20 points including 2 threes for dessert. Blue is one of the top players in the 2024 class.   [player_tooltip player_id='248677' first='Anilys' last='Rolon'] shot the ball well, connecting on 5 threes on Day 2 of the event. Rolon also ran the floor well and played some great defense. She is one of the top shooting guards in the 2025 class. Like a delicate meal, Rolon provided the special touch on her shooting, and dinner was served.
