<p>The girls' basketball season is already into week #5, and there are still a number of uncommitted 2024 prospects outside of our Top-50. Below is a look at five such prospects who are still probably flying a little under the radar.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='406433' first='Nadia' last='Clayton']</font></strong><font size="+1">, 2024, 5-7 G, Lake Central H.S.</font><br>- Nadia is as talented of an athlete as you will find in Indiana's 2024 class. She has great North/South speed, lateral quickness, and she plays with an outstanding motor. She's capable of defending '1' through '3', plus she has really improved her skillset. She's shooting it much more consistently, handling it with intent, but I go back to her being an elite defender.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='201871' first='Alivia' last='Elmore']</font></strong><font size="+1">, 2024, 5-8 W, Jennings County H.S.</font><br>- Alivia has unfortunately been snakebitten, losing big chunks of each of the last two years to consecutive knee injuries. When healthy, she is a nice athlete, but more importantly, she plays with a relentless energy and toughness and makes a ton of hustle plays for her team. She can handle a little, shoot a little, etc., but most importantly, she's a culture type of kid who wins.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='326485' first='Natalia' last='Franklin']</font></strong><font size="+1">, 2024, 6-1 F/C, Lawrence North H.S.</font><br>- "Talie" is a very talented individual who is continuing to develop her overall offensive skillset. She has an athletic frame with some muscle, she runs the floor hard, and she even has a little bounce to her. She is a nice rebounder/defender, and as she improves offensively, she should continue to see her college interest rise. If she were a 2025, she might even have D1 interest.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='718312' first='Janiya' last='Johnson']</font></strong><font size="+1">, 2024, 5-7 G, New Haven H.S.</font><br>- Janiya is an extremely fast, athletic, and explosive talent. She is one of those kids who could probably participate in most track & field events and find success. She plays with an outstanding motor, she's always engaged in the game, and she seems like a good teammate. She is also a high-level on-ball defender, plus she can score it in bunches from all three levels.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='177353' first='Macy' last='Sexton']</font></strong><font size="+1">, 2024, 5-10 F, Vincennes Lincoln H.S.</font><br>- Macy isn't necessarily a flashy, "wow" type of kid, but she is a tireless worker who seems to always be productive. She has nice length, wiry strength, and she's a solid athlete in most directions. She can play inside, rebound, and defend players bigger than she is. She is okay with the ball around the perimeter as well, but she's probably best operating in the mid-post.</p>
