It’s GO TIME!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The time is NOW and these ballers are ready to seize the moment. AAU is about to really heat up as the season's first live period nears and you can bet your bottom dollar that these ladies will be COOKING and putting their skills on full display for all to see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='789167' first='Madison' last='McLain'] | Jersey Gemz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maddy plays aggressive, assertive basketball. Just a 2027, you would never think she was a freshman the way she handles pressure with poise and plays her style of basketball, always collected and always confident. She can slash to the rim and get big buckets just as impressively as she dishes out dimes and sets up her teammates for scoring opportunities. A playmaker in every sense of the word and someone who plays team-first basketball. Look for her to dazzle on the EYBL circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583949' first='Christina' last='Sikaras'] | NJ Rise</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Don't let her 5'4" frame fool you. This girl can flat-out HOOP! She runs the point with command but can also slide over to the 2 and sink big baskets, especially from deep. With super speed, terrific vision and lethal 3-point shooting abilities, Christina has all the makings of a strong combo guard. Oh yeah, did I mention she plays lockdown defense too?? The two-way game is what the kids today would say "two-waying." I'd keep an eye out for her this summer if I were you!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='892157' first='Vanessa' last='Haas'] | NJ Rise</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big, strong guard, Vanessa's work ethic and physicality has taken her far as she continues to improve her game by leaps and bounds as the years go on. This southpaw can score it at a high clip and has a smooth middy to compliment her jazzed up offensive arsenal. She imposes her will around the rim and has proven to be fearless on the glass, emerging as a strong rebounding guard. Don't sleep on Vanessa this Spring!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414305' first='Molly' last='Sholders'] | SJ Titans</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Molly is a big, strong defensive anchor who prides herself on protecting the rim. At 6'1", she has the size to make her presence felt whether it's on put-backs, crashing the glass or blocking shots with authority. On offense, she does most of her damage in the low post. She is tough and physical on the post-up, not easily swayed off her base or intimidated by defenders, whether it's single coverage or double-team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333305' first='Mya' last='Pauldo'] | HUrban Legends</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mya only got to play the first half of the AAU season last year before injury sidelined her for the remainder of the summer. In just those two months, she wreaked havoc on opposing teams! So you can imagine the scary hours that lie ahead for everyone now that she's back, fully healthy and better than ever before. A tenacious, elite guard, the Puma signee is one of the nation's very best back-court players. A slasher with a strong mid-range game and devastating shooting prowess from 3-point land, Mya can GO! She not only excels on offense, but is also a super scrappy, blue-collar defender who racks up steals like no one's business!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559034' first='Reese' last='Sebok'] | Team Melious Lightning</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long, lean 5'10" Guard, Reese has a very fluid game on offense and is emerging as a dangerous 3-point shooter. She'll be running with Team Melious this season and is primed for a big breakout after a stint with New Heights NYC last year. Her efficiency has greatly improved, her skillset has evolved and her recruitment is trending way up! She's a focused and quiet 2 Guard who plays with patience and poise and doesn't fold under pressure or cower in big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
