Chinyruh Carruthers
I’ve had the privilege to watch highlights of Carruthers from middle school & her freshman year of high school! One thing that will stand out immediately when you see her is her great size and length. She is long, athletic, and fast! Chy runs the floor extremely well and has a knack for knowing where rebounds are coming off the rim! She is a strong rebounder and a good finisher! This one is a young athlete to keep your eyes on. Chy will continue to work hard and improve in all aspects of her game! One of the best reads on X (twitter) comes from her AAU coach because he stated, “More importantly, she’s an awesome teammate, gets along with everyone, and is extremely coachable.”
Pryor is a name that is well-known in WV. Don’t be surprised when you hear her name more! One thing that stands out immediately with Haylee is her strength & physicality. What is your separation factor to be a next level athlete? One of Haylee’s is, “Physically strong, mentally indestructible.” When I combed through film & numerous highlights, you can see the next play mentality player that Pryor is! She is a shooter that you do not want to leave open. If opponents don’t close out correctly, Pryor will use her shot fake to get by you. Honestly, there is so much to love about Haylee’s game. She is a young athlete with tremendous upside!
Highlights
Let’s be honest, Greenbrier East has a load of young emerging talent! McClure is one of those athletes! Mackenna has great length! She’s a natural with the basketball in her hands. She also does a great job off the ball. Two words that describe this athlete are efficient & consistent. She consistently does what is asked of her! She is efficient every single time she steps on the court. She is widely known as a good 3 point shooter, but she is one of the most impactful athletes that you will find!
Highlights
I love the athletes that never give up on plays, and that is exactly who Lang is! Seneca is a young athlete that is full of all the attributes to be special! Yes, you will see Lang stuff an entire stat sheet, but you will be even more impressed when you watch her! She is a good rebounder that pursues the ball extremely well on both sides of the court. Seneca makes the correct reads on the floor and the extra pass. She’s an unselfish player that you want on your team! I have a feeling that we will see Lang’s name explode during AAU and her junior season of high school! College coaches should take note of this young athlete fast!
Highlights
Candra Frazier Candra Frazier 5’10” | SF Huntington St. Joe | 2025 State WV may just be the most underrated player in the entire state! She definitely has a game that translates to the next level! She has tremendous size for the guard position, and her strength and athleticism allow her to be more versatile. Candra is a solid two way player! Frazier’s size and exceptional court vision allow her to pass extremely well out of double teams! She’s great at crashing the boards hard and she knows exactly how to put a body on someone. The great Moses Malone once said, “Rebounding is about positioning and knowing where the ball is going before it gets there.” Frazier does exactly that! Keep all eyes on Candra during AAU and next high school season!
Highlights
Mikayla is a savvy basketball player that is extremely unselfish! It doesn’t matter what team you put her on, she is going to compete and always utilize the “WE over ME.” Stacy has a way to influence the game on both ends of the floor. She rebounds exceptionally well. She finishes at the rim and through contact. She does all of the little things that you look for in an athlete! Mikayla can score in numerous ways. She has a beautiful outside shot, & running floater! Eric Musselman once stated, “Deflections tell you how much energy you’re playing with and how active your hands are. If you lack deflections, then you’re probably not being a very aggressive team and you probably don’t have very active hands.” You don’t have to question Mikayla’s effort, aggressiveness, energy, or active hands! We will see this one at the next level. We just have to wait & see who lands this one!
