Claybrook is so impactful on the basketball court! I was left completely impressed with this young athlete. She’s a ’27 playing up against tough talent every tournament! I don’t put a lot of stats out because we try to put all our focus on other things, but I want to throw out these stat lines:
7 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals
7 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks against TN Flight Select
8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks against Integrity Elite
15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals against Next Level
I put the above stats on here because she is a freshman. Again, she is a FRESHMAN! Coach Vez stated on X, “2 Game films this week that would of pulled her 10 D1 offers! She’s so young with so much potential.” This is absolutely correct too! This one has tremendous upside. I was left completely impressed by her overall play. If I am a college coach, I am pulling up a seat during the live events and watching Mariella & this squad!
First thing that I noticed about Porter is how much attention that she draws and how much contact that she has to play through. During AAU, it can be challenging at times because you are allowed to play more physical and fouls are usually not called. I loved the fact that Kennedy never lost her composure and always was ready for the next play. This one does all of the dirty work for her team! She rebounds exceptionally well, she plays off of two feet exceptionally well, and she finishes strong. I will not be surprised seeing this one average a double-double during her high school junior and senior years. The 5’10 PF should be on all radars!
Highlights
Simply put, the PF does her job and she does her job exceptionally well! The FBC Reign team is a phenomenal young squad that has athletes at every single position! Payton is going to battle on the low block every possession. She is going to make you alter shots when you drive, and she is going to get the rebound when you miss! She’s a tough inside presence that works hard! She excels when her back is to the basket and she can knock down the open outside shots too! There is so much to love about Payton’s game and this FBC squad!
Highlights
Kadie Bremer
Kadie Bremer
Kadie has elite court vision already. I still love her euro step and the way she can maneuver when driving to the rim. However, her court vision will definitely be talked about more. Her eyes are always up. She is making plays happen before they unfold! She makes the correct reads to her teammates! This kid is going to outwork you. She makes things look easy on the court, that are not easy at all! The future in Alcoa is extremely bright!
Alexa Crosby
Alexa Crosby
Alexa is one of the most mentally tough kids that you are going to find in the sport! She has battled adversity and she continues to battle any adversity that is thrown at her. Most people forget that Crosby is a 7th grader. One thing that I love about Alexa’s game is that she doesn’t have to score to impact a game. Don’t get me wrong, she can get the ball in the basket, but she takes pride in her passing ability. Crosby will continue to put in the work, and she will continue to get better in every aspect of her game! Keep your eyes on this one!
Jada is an extremely physical athlete. I loved watching her toughness and physicality all weekend. She brings an old style of physical back that I love to see in the sport! She’s a good ball handler and she is strong with the ball in her hands! She finishes at the rim strong and through contact. My favorite part of her game is her ability to complete old fashioned 3 point plays. She definitely knows how to play to her strengths!!!
Highlights
I made a comment on X regarding the Grayson twins! “Madi-Marie and Mari-Margret are fun athletes to watch!” The identical twins are exactly that! They are fun to watch! So, this may be only under Madi’s name, but I am speaking on both. Both are relentless. Both give tremendous effort. Both have non-stop motors! Both are confident! Both can score in numerous and a variety of ways! College coaches will want the Grayson twins on their team!
Highlights
Maddie Burgin
Maddie Burgin
Maddie is a fast guard that knows exactly how to turn defense to offense. She picked up numerous steals over the weekend and was able to go coast to coast! She runs the floor exceptionally well, she defends exceptionally well, and competes at a high level! She was also able to block numerous shots this past weekend too. This young athlete definitely has a bright future!
