<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#25 [player_tooltip player_id='537669' first='Milee' last='Smith'], 2026, Unioto:</strong> There is so much about Smith's game that is marvelous! Beautiful soft touch floaters, as displayed in picture below! Great attack mode in getting to the basket. Knows how to free herself on back door cuts, even when double teamed. High basketball IQ- and with her overall game, she continues to impress college coaches! <em>(Below shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841401,"width":"335px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_5741.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841401" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='360842' first='Natiah' last='Nelson'], 2024, Africentric: </strong>Special player. She is such a leader, thrives in 1v1 situations, and Nelson is a physical beast! Her frame is strong, she forces turnovers with high pressure defense, and is comfortable shooting the rock from anywhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841402,"width":"334px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_6246.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841402" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Georgia Ferguson, 2025, Niagara Prep (CAN):</strong> Keep your eyes on Ferguson! This 6'3 forward has reliable hands, cuts hard to the basket, kisses the ball off the glass perfectly, and her moves on the block are difficult to stop!  Blocking machine in the paint! <em>(Below in blue jersey) </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841403,"width":"334px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_6616.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841403" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='748809' first='Layla' last='Hale'], 2026, West Clermont:</strong> Hale, a 6'0 guard, provides so many weapons for the team. I love how she fights for rebounds! She was born with springs on her feet, quickness, and has such a strong inside/ outside shot! No problem knocking down buckets from behind the arc! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='319027' first='Ashley' last='Pate'], 2025, Hamilton Badin:</strong> Anyone that guards Pate has their work cut out! She is constantly moving, finds ways to slither between defenders and connect! Sharp shooter from outside, and shows patience with the ball. Plays smart! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841407,"width":"333px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_8830.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841407" style="width:333px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#25 Anaya Chestnut, 2026, George Rogers Clark (KY):</strong> Keep feeding Chestnut the ball! When she knocks down her first 3, watch out, because she can certainly heat it up from behind the arc, in no time! Quick trigger, with deep range! Plays consistent! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

#25 Milee Smith Milee Smith Milee Smith 5'10" | SF Unioto | 2026 State OH , 2026, Unioto: There is so much about Smith's game that is marvelous!
