AAU Team Preview: Bay State Jaguars GUAA 2026 Bollin

<p>It's time to start getting some AAU team previews and analysis done in New England, something we hope to continue to do in ample effect moving forward. Bay State Jaguars are often considered the standard in the region, definitely the highest-profile AAU program in New England with plenty of talent. This article talks about the 2026 Bollin team.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='490485' first='Zariah' last='Ottley'] - 5-7 SG, Rockland (2026)</h2>   <p>We begin this article talking about sophomore shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='490485' first='Zariah' last='Ottley'], a rather impressive watch on film and a calm, cool and collected player for her age. Despite being listed as a guard and her 5-7 frame, Ottley is someone who can go up and get rebounds and rack up double-doubles with ease. Very impressive player to watch when it comes to aggression in the lane. Again, poise is what comes to mind with her, but she's still developing much of her game as is.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='490484' first='Jaelynn' last='Scott'] - 6-0 F, Wachusett Regional (2026)</h2>   <p>Scott was a Central Massachusetts all-star this past season as one of the best defensive players in the region and in the state. She's a baller on the defensive side of the ball, no doubt about that. Closing in on players quickly and cutting the path to score, Scott knows where to be and how to attack at all times it seems like. She plays with heart and with emotions on her sleeve, but when she needs to dial it up and turn it on, she's locked in.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='486360' first='Sophia' last='McClendon'] - 5-10 SG, Belmont (2026)</h2>   <p>McClendon is the best of both worlds on the floor, exactly what a team is looking for in an impact player upcoming. She's still got some time before college to show out, but that lethal three & D combination often is the deciding factor in a win. Now, McClendon can do much more than just that, a quick and shifty player at the start of fast breaks and ample scoring opportunities, but the core of her game remains steadfast in being a great shooter and an even better defender.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1276438' first='Izzy' last='Kittredge'] - 6-0 SF/PF, Medfield (2026)</h2>   <p>Kittredge is a multi-sport athlete, at one point a three-sport athlete at Medfield, and you can definitely see the different parts of her athleticism bleed into her success on the basketball court. That height immediately stands out as you just cannot teach size. She's one of seven players 6-0 or taller on this team, meaning that she's definitely working out in other positions. Really successful three-point shooter and really efficient too, Kittredge has a field day when she gets open beyond the arc.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='364120' first='Molly' last='Sisson'] - 6-3 PF, St. Andrew's School (2026)</h2>   <p>We cannot stop talking about height with this Bay State Jags team because height is what this team was seemingly built on. Sisson is tied for the tallest player on this squad at 6-3 and height is certainly to her advantage. She plays like Nikola Jokic sometimes, or should we say quite often because her floor vision and her overall feel for the game is high. Very high IQ player making high IQ basketball plays. Fantastic at boxing out down low on both sides of the ball and an exceptional passer for a big.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='481346' first='Lauren' last='Fitzgerald'] - 6-0 G, Tabor Academy (2026)</h2>   <p>This six-foot guard can play some ball and has some sweet handles to boot. With younger players, it can be difficult to differentiate the good from the great because it takes time to develop into an elite-level talent. However, Fitzgerald has easily shown she can perform and play at that highest level with great vision and awareness on the floor, something that's shown up on the defensive side of the ball plenty.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='278580' first='Molly' last='Corcoran'] - 5-7 PG, Tabor Academy (2026)</h2>   <p>Corcoran is the all-around polished type of point guard that any team would love to have running the point. She's a bit of everything on the floor, very much a do-it-all type of playmaker that can shoot, drive, pass, start a fast break, get a key steal defensively and dictate the flow of a game at her own pace. You play to contain her, but never to shut her down because she's simply too good to be denied production on the floor.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='481354' first='Brooke' last='Nunnally-Gardner'] - 6-0 PF, Dexter Southfield (2026)</h2>   <p>Nunnally-Gardner is one of the bigger bodies on this roster, a 6-0 forward that is quite the force down low for the Jags. It showed at Dexter Southfield and it's showing even more on the AAU circuit that her presence on the block is fearsome. Great mobility and breakout speed when she needs it. Fantastic game awareness to make plays happen. Her box-out ability is seemingly unstoppable, and she can guard anywhere on the floor, from the post to the top of the key.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ava Egan - 6-0 F, Dexter Southfield (2026)</h2>   <p>Already with some Division I offers under her belt, Egan commands a presence on the floor and commands attention when the ball is in her hands. It's because she can do just about anything that her team needs, and she's going to dominate the competition doing so. From sinking threes in off-ball situations to getting a quick basket on a fast break, Egan shoots and scores with efficiency and effectiveness. Really impressive player to watch and someone who's only getting better with more experience.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='295914' first='Bailey' last='Breen'] - 6-3 PF, Oceanside (2026)</h2>   <p>It's a simple concept that remains so important, but you simply cannot teach size on the basketball court. [player_tooltip player_id='295914' first='Bailey' last='Breen'] has size to her advantage in a big way, a 6-3 power forward with the agility, touch, finesse and foresight to make herself a problem for opponents to face. She already has nearly a dozen Division I offers for a reason and it's that she knows how to use her frame, she's effortlessly pure around the rim, a great rebounder and rim protector, and such a perfect touch on her shot. </p>
