Continue ReadingDoes all the little things, but does them faster than everyone else. Runs the floor to get easy buckets. Relentless pursuit of offensive rebounds. Plays the right way. Does everything at 100% effort, so it elevates her entire game. She’s always making her presence felt in one way or another—on both sides of the ball. Simply impacts winning.
I knew she was a college level scorer, but she impressed me with her vision in the pick and roll. Eyes were up in transition, and always made the right play. Hit multiple 3s. If she were 3 inches taller she’d be high D1. She does everything well.
She carries herself like a leader. She’s just really professional in her approach (must be a coach’s kid or something?). She leads this group well. What she puts on the table is hard to describe, but you can tell her teammates look to her for confidence. A true leader.
Highlights
Showed a nice midrange game with a simple head fake, 1 dribble pullup. Then attacked the rim for a tough inside hand finish on the opposite side. Really like her offensive versatility. Makes the extra pass.
Kaylnn Walls is legit. I hadn’t seen her in person, and by the numbers I expected her to be a big stiff post that dominates in the paint…..but she not at all! She has great size, but also operates on the perimeter and got two quick buckets attacking the rim off the bounce. She’s a STUD.
You really gotta understand the game to see what Frana brings. She talks on D. She sets hard screens. She never misses a box out. She’s never late on a switch. She stays LOCKED IN on D. She makes the right pass, on time and on target.
So smart! Watched her get out in transition dribbling left, hold off the defender (I call it putting them in “jail”) with her but, and then finished “and 1” with her right hand. Few kids know how to put a defender in jail….but Shelby Higgins Shelby Higgins 5’11” | SG Richland | 2025 State TN special. Incredibly talented scorer. Even when it’s not falling from the outside she finds ways to get easy buckets out in transition, on cuts, etc. And of course, as soon as I wrote that….she hit two straight 3s. She’s a bucket.
Highlights
Attacks the rim hard. Finishes with both hands. Nice touch from the midrange. Battles on the glass….hits you HARD on a box out
I LOVE Lauren Lee Lauren Lee 6’2″ | PF River Ridge | 2025 State FL ‘s game. She is able to guard 1-5. She battles on the glass. Extremely diverse skill set on offense. Colleges should be all over this kid. Showed off beautiful ball control and a nice mid range jumper. Nice passing and vision. Battles on the glass.
Highlights
High level PG that is happy to facilitate or create for herself. Does both at a high level. Tremendous use of slight hesitations to get the defender off balance. Nice length and effort on D allowed to her to block multiple shots. Just a big time finisher at the rim. Nice touch from mid range as well.
Highlights
The left shooter had a hard time getting going, but knocked down shots when she was open. Can get her left mid-rang pullup off anytime she wants. Top tier scorer that can do things most players can’t. Has a nice euro to change directions.
Highlights
Got off to a nice start vs FBC Reign attacking the rim, and going to the FT line. Finished a tough AND 1. She’s legit. Watched her twice now, and she’s been impressive both times. Great inside out game.
