Bailee Durant Bailee Durant 5’10” | SF South Sioux City | 2026 NE is a prospect that is years above her age-level in skill on the floor. This weekend she demonstrated that she isn’t just very good in the skill aspects of basketball but she is also very knowledgeable when it comes to all the other aspects of the game. She is someone that can score in bunches on any opponent with knowing what to do and when to do it, she understands footwork to a T in any given situation on the catch or off the dribble, and most importantly – she keeps it simple more times than not. When you see prospects that have this type of play-style, sometimes they get in their own ways but not Durant. She seems to soak things in like a sponge and because of that, she sees a lot of success in almost every aspect of the game. This was a solid weekend for Durant as a whole. She showed off what she could do at a high rate physically, while also demonstrating that she can make the mental adjustments needed to be successful. If she can keep this up, the sky is really the limit for a prospect with her caliber of ability.
Highlights
I had the chance to see a lot of prospects throughout the past few days and someone that stood out to myself right away was Jordyn McMahon Jordyn McMahon SF Skutt Catholic | 2026 NE of Nebraska Attack UA 2026 Rise. McMahon is a player that has a solid and efficient handle, better than average size, a high motor, and an efficient type of play-style when she is out on the floor. She makes the small adjustments needed throughout a contest to be successful in several aspects of the game and she is always willing to lay her body out for the good of the team. McMahon brings a lot to the table when considering all of these things but her best ability I saw this weekend was her efficiency. She doesn’t seem to waste any movements or to hesitant while making a decision. Instead, she works well on and off of the ball, understanding spacing and the situation at hand. On a team and within a program that has some real ballers, McMahon was one of my favorites to watch compete this weekend. She did everything in her power to help her team perform and she showed out individually in a number of different ways, demonstrating that she could play and be used in any system in the future that would be willing to take a chance on her.
Molli Rosloniec Molli Rosloniec 5’11” | PF Saint Albert | 2027 IA is a prospect that shows off that she has fantastic size and agile movement to mix along with that size. Rosloniec stands at around 6’0 and she is able to defend both the perimeter or inside the lane at an efficient rate. She has lengthy arms and good knowledge of the game to know where her opponent is trying to go with the ball on most occasion, while staying disciplined in everything she is doing on the basketball court. Most prospects struggle with staying disciplined at a young age. They might stick on their opponent well but as soon as a pump fake fake name | 2027 NE comes or a crafty move, they jump and give up a foul but not Rosloniec. She knows where her advantage is and she uses that every chance she gets. This past weekend she was switching between the 1-4 defensively, while also being someone that her team could trust in on the offensive side of the floor. It takes someone with experienced knowledge of the game to be able to compete like this when they are tired at the end of a ball game and Rosloniec demonstrated that at a high-rate. She kept things simple and she made the most out of her opportunities. From a coaching perspective, that’s all you can ask for.

My biggest question for Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5’9″ | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA coming into this event was her efficiency. She has always been a prospect that has a higher skill level than most her age but sometimes she would shrink when she had other good players around her on the same floor. Not this weekend though. This weekend she proved to me that she can be someone that can lead her team from the PG position, while making great choices with the ball in her hands. She is a willing passer when she creates off the dribble and she is always looking for ways to beat the personal matchup that is defending her in the open court. Hogan has the ability to be a college level Point Guard. If she can continues to do her thing, stay efficient, limit turnovers, and score when the opportunity present itself, she is going to get a chance to play at some collegiate level. I’m not sure which level yet but she displayed this weekend that she has both the ability and mental game to make the difference in a tough contest against other skilled prospects. As long as she gets an opportunity, she is going to kill it.
