<p>Throughout the weekend I kept a notebook full of small notes that I took for each athlete, as I watched them compete live and in-person. In this article we cover seven prospects and go over the notes that I had written down about each athlete, as I watched them compete on the hardwood. These notes are just a more simple or brief way of explaining what I was seeing at that time.</p>

<p><em>"Rich is a sneaky, knockdown shooter off the catch. She is always receiving the ball in a balanced stance, ready to let it go from behind the three point line. She also demonstrated that she is smooth in most of her movements coming down the floor. No matter if she is at the 1 or the 2 spot. Someone that can get hot in a hurry from deep if you don't pay attention to her. Also someone that can score a bunch of points in a short amount of time with her ability to hit shots from any distance."</em></p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502096' first='KeaOnna' last='Worley'] - 2026 - 5'4 - PG - Missouri Phenom Iowa 17U (IA)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p><em>"When Worley is on, she is really on. This is someone that you can trust to bring the ball down the court against any type of pressure, in any given situation. She makes good decisions most of the time when she should pass compared to taking her opponent off of the dribble. Her best basketball is still yet to come. If she locks in and makes some small adjustments, she is going to be money at the next level one day."</em></p>

<p><strong>Jayla Cleveland - 2025 - 6'0 - F - Nebraska Attack UA 2025 Select (NE)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>"Everything she is cracked up to be and more. Cleveland displays patients, knowledge of the strategic part of the game, and solid skill whenever she has the rock in her hands. She is at her best next to the basket, attack her opponent when she has time but she moves off the ball pretty well too. If she can continue to pick her spots wisely, it's going to continue to pay off of her in the long run."</em></p>

<p><strong>Grayson Gentile - 2025 - 6'2 - C/PF - Nebraska Attack UA 2025 Rise (NE)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>"Gentile of NE Attack UA 2025 Rise has great length and a high motor. Standing at 6'2, she impacts play near the rim, especially defensive. She recovers from help-side really well & she communicates w/ her guards on screening action more times than not. Still very raw in her ability on the skill side of the floor but she has promise from the sample size I've seen today. If she gets angry while competing, she could takes things to a whole other level."</em></p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583118' first='Addie' last='Naughton'] - 2026 - 5'7 - PG/CG - [program_tooltip program_id='716010' first='Western' last='Iowa Express'] 2025 (IA)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>"Naughton was someone who was all over the floor for her [program_tooltip program_id='716010' first='Western' last='Iowa Express'] 2025 Team today. She was making the simple play and showing that she has an act for being in the right place at the right time. She is someone that has some solid skill in the half-court offensively, while being very active on the defensive side of the ball. She doesn't take plays off but instead shows that she is willing to do anything for her team to be successful."</em></p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>"Great size with a balanced shooting stroke from deep. She can do a handful of different things to help her team on both sides of the floor but her best ability is when she has time to let it go from deep from what I saw this weekend. Every time her shot looks exactly the same, no matter the given situation and that speaks volumes to her practice and dedication in the offseason to her craft."</em></p>

<p><strong>Lindsay Dill - 2025 - 5'11 - SG - Missouri Phenom KC Reece 2025 (KS)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>"A prospect with great size and athletic ability to pair with that size. Moves well off of the ball, while being able to produce all around the perimeter at an even and consistent rate. Is someone who does everything well in general. Has fantastic awareness as a Guard while being someone that isn't afraid of contact in any form. Competes with a solid base and leaves it all out on the floor."</em></p>
