She has complete control of the ball and the offense. She controls the tempo and regardless of the defense she is facing, her passes are on point. She can feed the post, draw defenders and set up her shooters on the outside. In transition she is a beast with the ball in her hand. Her court vision is great and her creativity is even greater. One play at the Inside Exposure Thanksgiving tournament still comes to mind: Turner’s back spin pass around a defender and to her cutting teammate is still the pass of the year.
Carmen Richardson Carmen Richardson 5'8" | CG Colonial | 2024 State FL plays under control and has great court vision. Richardson a selfless point guard who looks to get everyone involved and will pass the ball if you’re open. I saw Richardson in Lakeland in the semifinals and her poise and IQ we’re impressive. Richardson does have a switch that she can turn on if needed. She knows how to put the ball in the basket, especially in crunch time.
London Jenkins London Jenkins 5'4" | PG Fleming Island | 2024 State FL is a very good passer and her passes can come plain and sometimes they have a little “sauce” on them. Jenkins is quick and has a lot of change of direction in her game. She is such a good scorer that she draws a lot of attention when she drives to the rim.
Nina Green Nina Green 5'6" | PG Wharton | 2024 State FL is another good passing guard who uses her quickness and an aggressive pursuit of the rim to set up opportunities for her teammates. Green is good at penetrating and kicking to a wing or driving and hitting a cutting teammate at the rim. Green averaged 4.1 assists and right at 10 points per game.
Danigzy Mantilla Danigzy Mantilla 5'5" | PG St Cloud | 2024 State FL is one of the best passers I’ve seen in the 2024 class and she runs the point with great ball handling skills. Regardless of what the defender is doing, Mantilla has the ability to keep her dribble and not get sped up. She makes great bounce passes, lobs, threads the needle, or whatever pass is needed. “Izzy” has the ability to flip a switch when she needs to become a scorer. She can change directions, step back, etc. She gets her shots up and can shoot the three the midrange, or take the ball to the rim.
Kiyana Hunter Kiyana Hunter 5'3" | PG Mandarin | 2024 State FL had a very good season and her passing in the open court is as good as anyone’s. Hunter sees the court very well and does a good job of advancing the ball with vertical passes. Hunter is very effective at passing to an open man in transition. In a set offense, she does a good job of getting the pass into the teeth of the defense, and also drawing the defense to create open shots for her wing players.
