In this article we highlight five players that stood their ground and did their job dominating the Post position, every chance they could get.
Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
The strength and physical presence that Onxy brings to the floor is noteworthy. She is a true post, that is extremely comfortable when she has her back to the basket. You can tell by watching her for five minutes that she understands her advantage next to the rim compared to most. Not to mention, her athletic ability is impressive. When she goes to jump, it more-so seems like she is just floating in the air, taking forever to come back down. If she continues to expand her play-style, she is going to be a tough individual to deal with throughout the duration of an entire contest.
Divine Mugugu
Divine Mugugu
This Chaos program is one that comes to us from Canada and they have 2-3 prospects who can really get after it. The Post presence for their 2026 team comes to us in the form of Divine Mugugu. Mugugu has solid height at around 6’1, along with muscle mass to go along with it. When she catches at the rim she displays that she has a soft touch on the ball, being able to score it on either side of the basket, especially through contact. I only had one chance to watch Mugugu and her team to perform. In that game they won at the final buzzer on a put-back by Mugugu. No one boxed her out and because of that, she made them pay.

Carmen Kadlec Carmen Kadlec 6’1″ | PF Rochester Mayo | 2025 State MN is an individual that has some small collegiate interest right now and I think that is going to grow as she continues to show off what she can do this Spring/Summer season. Kadlec has fantastic size for her age and she understands situational basketball to a T. She can put the ball on the floor in moderation and she is solid in the screen & roll aspect of the game. As long as she can learn how to hold her own against bigger opponents, she is going to be someone that collegiate recruiters will gravitate towards. Especially as she gets older.
This was one of the first times where I had a chance to see Olivia Nesbit Olivia Nesbit 6’0″ Jesup | 2025 IA compete for multiple days in a row and overall, I was impressed with her size. I would consider Nesbit a Forward, that can post up or she can spread the floor and attack from the perimeter. You can tell that she is still very raw in her ability on the court but she has a solid base to build on looking forward. She just needs to trust in her work and she would be someone throughout Iowa, who puts up eye-opening numbers over this next year.
Alaina Canney Alaina Canney 6’2″ Cedar Rapids Kennedy | 2026 IA is another prospect that showed me some positives as this weekend went on. She is the type of player that is an enforcer in the middle of the lane, while being an elite communicator with the teammates around her. During any moment of a game when she is on the floor, you can hear her yelling out what is going on around her fellow teammates. Half of the battle of being a solid prospect is being able to communicate in an efficient way and Canney embodied that at this event.
