She's a national talent at 6'3 and controls the game with her presence. A triple-double threat with points, rebounds, and blocks. She's a HM+ prospect. [player_tooltip player_id='302782' first='Elli' last='Porter'] is a high school teammate (not related) and runs the show. Her shooting and playmaking is an asset to this EYBL program. [player_tooltip player_id='302781' first='BreAunna' last='Ward'] is a versatile swiss-army knife who adds an element of speed. She can take on top defensive matchups. A player who can blow up from a recruiting perspective this summer. [player_tooltip player_id='303297' first='Jayla' last='Griffith'] is a top notch shooter that will space the floor from three. Grace McCallop is another player who's a talented guard from the Kansas side. Coming with her from the Kansas 2025 class is the top prospect, Jaliya Davis. A 6'2 forward who will play alongside [player_tooltip player_id='351752' first='Jayda' last='Porter'] and help solidify a dominant frontcourt. Her skill-set has gained attention from numerous powerhouse programs and resulted in offers. Emma Sales and [player_tooltip player_id='302783' first='Mari' last='Miller'] are two wings that affect the game in a number of ways. They're both regarded as Top 10 players in their class for Kansas/Missouri. Each also has great size for the wing position. Phenom, like most years, will look to compete and win the EYBL. They have the coaching, talent, and chemistry you need. One of the very best 17u teams in the country.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
