She anticipates well on the defensive side of the ball. Can read and react with quick hands. I also love her quick release on the jump shot. Good range. Playing for a very solid spring program which should help her game.
Janaya Janaya Lenoir | 2025 OH is a great distributor of the ball and can push the ball inside. She makes good decisions from the point guard spot. Super quick and has active hands, makes plays and capitalizes on mistakes. She shows solid leadership and is a player who has grown as a dynamic floor general.
Highlights

Alden Alden Melzer | 2025 OH is not only strong around the rim, she is also an aggressive player who can defend well and guard multiple positions. Scrappy and is always around the ball. Communicates well. She also does the little things to help her team succeed with solid effort.
She has a very good work ethic, works tirelessly for the ball. Strong physical kid can power it at the rim. Isn’t shy to let it fly, nice jumper. Able to go strong to the boards and does a nice job rebounding.
Highlights
Skylar showed me a player who plays with a lot of energy, a really good floor general, nice court vision, and is able to distribute the ball to the right place. Athletic and runs the floor well, can anticipate where to be in transition. She displays a good basketball IQ and is key to their offense in many ways. (featured photo above)
Jaylynn shows a strong, physical presence in the paint, while also being able to run the floor with anyone. Can get downhill and finish at the rim. She is not only a scorer but effective without the ball in her hands. Her length helps her defensive game, being able to get through the lane and draw contact.
Strong presence under the boards, she can dominate the paint. Defensively she is very difficult to score on in the paint, does an excellent job blocking and altering shots with her size. Puts the ball on the floor and gets to the rim! She is tough to contain around the rim.
Has seen her stock rise with an outstanding high school season in the state final four, now playing with a very strong United team, the best team in this event. She came off the bench and is intimidating in the paint and continues to improve. Defensively she will swat away anything with a big wingspan and moves really well.
PG lefty, that does a very good job running the show, outstanding passer with great court vision, and can thread the needle. She’s ranked in the latest PGH rankings in her state. Her basketball IQ is off the chart and she communicates well on the floor. She’s very talented!
