In this article we highlight five prospects that stood out on the day, no matter where they competing across the US.
Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
Halle Dolliver Halle Dolliver 5’10” | CG Malcolm | 2026 State NE has been a constant on the high school floor the past two years and that did not change when she started competing on the road. Dolliver had another fantastic start to the Live Period for this AAU season with her ETG Midwest Elite 16U 3SSB team on Friday. She recorded a double-double in Points and Rebounds, while also registering some other positive statistics as well. If this team is going to make a National Championship run, this type of play has to be consistent from Dolliver. She is the driving force in the middle in my opinion for this group and they will need her to win against some really good teams down the line.
Highlights
Maddie Vickery is coming off of a very successful Varsity High School campaign as a Freshman and she is looking to build on that momentum moving forward. In her first day of action for the weekend, she was someone that made her mark on both sides of the ball. She used her length and athletic ability to get some easy boards, while also scoring and defending like her life depended on it. At this point, I kind of expect this type of play out of Vickery. If she stays motivated, she is going to be a stud on whatever court she plays on, just like she was on Friday.
Highlights
Quinn Vice Quinn Vice 6’3″ | PF Pleasant Valley | 2025 State IA is a Drake Bulldogs Womens Basketball commit and a driving force inside the middle of the lane, whenever she takes the floor. Vice is a prospect that has to be respected in the middle on both sides of the basketball and that was proven true in her team contest on Friday night. Vice ended with 17 Points, 4 Rebounds, and 4 Blocks in her team’s victory. She got her hands on a lot of shots with her mixture of long arms and quick reflexes, making an instant impact. This is the first year this group of players out of Iowa has came together to compete so it will be a learning process to start but if Vice continues to have games like this one, they are going to have a good AAU season.
Highlights
Early on Friday morning the All Iowa Attack won their matchup against the Indy Gym Rats by a big margin and a major reason for that was because of the production of Karis Finley Karis Finley 5’9″ | SG Cedar Falls | 2026 State IA . Finley is someone that I was describe as a quick Guard, who is a gamer. She does everything pretty well on offense and defense, while always giving it her all and leaving it all on the floor when she is competing. Finley is a prospect with a D1 offer and a lot of collegiate interest. If she continues to have games like she did on Friday, she is going to be receiving a lot more of that moving forward.
A program that I have not had a chance to highlight yet this AAU season is Nebraska Supreme . All of Supreme’s prospects can compete at a high rate across the board. One of their standouts at the 15U level from yesterday was Rowan Swartz Rowan Swartz 5’7″ | SG Elkhorn South | 2027 NE . Swartz put on a good performance for Day 1 of the weekend. She was hitting shots from deep off of the catch, getting tip and deflections creating turnovers, and making the accurate pass when an opportunity would present itself. Overall, it was a really nice showing for Swartz to kick things off for her Spring/Summer season. This is the time of a year where everyone needs to remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint. So as long as she can continue with this type of production, the more impressive it will be but for Day 1, she definitely stood out.
