These gatherings offers prospects a chance to test themselves against quality players under the watchful eye of next-level coaches who have scholarships to offer. For coaches, it’s a nice opportunity to get to know prospects in a comfortable setting, which is especially helpful given the limited number of opportunities they have to interact with younger players due to stringent NCAA recruiting rules. We spent last Thursday at the University of St. Thomas elite camp where there were plenty of standouts, including a couple who left with scholarship offers in hand. Here are some highlights of top performers last week in St. Paul.
Jordan Staloch Jordan Staloch 5'9" | CG Jordan | 2029 MN – 2029 guard, Jordan ( North Tartan Nike)
The North Tartan guard (pictured above) put up a solid performance on Thursday afternoon, excelling in 5-on-5 play. The younger sister to 2026 top 10 prospect Morgan Staloch Morgan Staloch 6'0" | PF Jordan | 2026 State MN , Jordan played smart basketball, demonstrating intelligent shot selection and an ability to both score and facilitate in transition. The incoming 8th grader uses her immense length on both ends of the floor, whether grabbing rebounds and blocking shots, or catching hard-to-reach passes in the paint. We haven’t spent a lot of time watching the 2029s just yet but we already know that Staloch is one of the premier prospects in the class. Among the other top performers at St. Thomas were three of Staloch’s North Tartan 2028 clubmates – Amelia Mills Amelia Mills 5'6" | PG Rochester Mayo | 2028 MN of Rochester Mayo, Ally Moore Ally Moore 5'6" | PG Orono | 2028 MN of Orono and Lauren Robison Lauren Robison 5'8" | CG Lakeville North | 2028 MN of Lakeville North.
Lakyn Donnelly Lakyn Donnelly 5'5" | PG Horace | 2028 ND – 2028 guard, Horace (ND) ( Inspired Athletics )
Anybody who has seen the North Dakota prospect from Horace play can tell you that Lakyn is the real deal. The incoming freshman plays an aggressive, high-tempo game, she can score at multiple levels, and her court vision and ball handling are elite. Her feel for the game, and sense of timing and pacing, is among the best we’ve seen in a long time. With four years of high school still to go, her ceiling is very high. Both Lakyn and her high school teammate, Jordan Christofferson Jordan Christofferson 5'11" | PF Horace | 2027 ND , had great performances in the morning. Despite a mild ankle injury midway through the day, the camp went very well for Donnelly, who received a Division 1 offer from St. Thomas right after lunch.
Aubryn Clark – 2027 guard, Rhinelander (WI) (Wisconsin Purple Aces)
While scouts over in Wisconsin are familiar with her game, Thursday was our first time seeing the freshman from Rhinelander. Clark is the 13th-ranked prospect in the Prep Girls Hoops Wisconsin Class of 2027 and it’s not difficult to see why. Right away her build causes her to stand out from the crowd. Aubryn is very well put together with a super muscular frame and a solid lower body; she is much bigger and much stronger than most 9th graders. We were impressed by her overall game as the Purple Aces guard handles the ball and reads the defense very well, and her passing and court vision are stellar.
Haven Fisher Haven Fisher 5'11" | SG Prior Lake | 2025 State MN – 2025 guard, Prior Lake ( Minnesota Fury S40)
The Prior Lake junior, ranked 51st among Minnesota’s incoming seniors, has really come into her own in recent months. We’ve seen in during the AAU season with the Fury 2025 S40 team. We saw it again at Thursday’s St. Thomas camp. The 5’11 guard was vocal on both ends of the floor during the 5-on-5 games, communicating effectively with her teammates on the defensive end. Even when subbed out of the game, Fisher was consistently cheering for her squad on the floor. Haven, as well as her younger sister Toni Fisher Toni Fisher 5'9" | PG Prior Lake | 2027 State MN , were both highly aggressive on offense, attacking the basket and hunting for scoring opportunities. Haven is a late-blooming prospect who will excel at the next level.
Zaida Jenkins Zaida Jenkins 5'9" | SG Benilde St. Margaret’s | 2028 MN – 2028 guard, Benilde-St. Margaret’s ( Minnesota Stars DeSart)
The Benilde-St. Margaret’s 8th grader gave a solid performance on Thursday. She showed off many strong facets of her game, including her ability to move and make cuts away from the ball, a quick first step on drives to the basket, and the way she uses her length on the defensive end. This AAU season with Minnesota Stars 2028 DeSart, we’ve seen Jenkins put up consistently good numbers in the scoring column. Zaida’s AAU teammate Bethany Black Lance Bethany Black Lance 5'7" | CG Brainerd | 2028 MN of Brainerd also had a great day at the camp, excelling in both live play and shooting drills. Her energy is infectious.
Annika Kieser Annika Kieser 5'9" | SF Wayzata | 2027 State MN – 2027 guard, Wayzata ( Minnesota Fury UAA)
Whether in the colors of Wayzata, with the Fury, or in a Tommies camp jersey, Annika seems to have found success everywhere she goes of late. Thursday’s story was no different. Annika impressed with her high IQ play, making great decisions on both ends of the floor. Whether creating defensive stops or feeding the ball to her teammates, Kieser always seems to make the right play. The Fury guard has developed an excellent reputation over the past couple of years as a great three-point shooter, and she has enhanced her offensive game over time with excellent ball handling and aggressive drives to the basket.
Devin Larson – 2027 guard, Hudson (WI) ( Minnesota Fury UAA)
The freshman from Hudson had a great showing in St. Paul on Thursday, looking every bit the part of high-end prospect. She played like her usual self; super aggressive on both ends of the floor, works hard on defense to pick off passes and create turnovers, hunts her own shot and facilitates super well to her teammates. Given that she plays AAU ball on this side of the St. Croix River with the Fury, we’ve been seeing Devin a lot this spring. The top 30 Wisconsin prospect puts out solid, well-rounded performances week after week and Thursday was no different.
Grace Prose Grace Prose 5'8" | CG Mahtomedi | 2027 State MN – 2027 guard Mahtomedi ( North Tartan Elite)
The North Tartan Elite guard had an excellent day at the Tommies elite camp. She excelled in 5-on-5 play and many of the shooting drills, as well. The Mahtomedi freshman is playing with a high level of confidence – hunting scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates, and playing with intensity on defense. Prose is explosive, and does an excellent job creating space off of the dribble where she can then hit shots from the mid-range and beyond. Grace’s game has grown so much this year and you’d have to think she is more than ready for a breakout sophomore campaign with the Zephyrs.
Amisha Ramlall Amisha Ramlall 5'11" | CG Rosemount | 2027 State MN – 2027 guard, Rosemount ( Minnesota Fury UAA)
It should come as no surprise that the Rosemount freshman showed out at St. Thomas. After all, the third-ranked prospect in Minnesota’s Class of 2027 is one of the more highly-sought recruits in the Summit League and beyond. In 5-on-5 play she excelled on the offensive end, making big plays for her team on one possession after the next. In addition to her usual three-point shooting prowess, Amisha showed off some shifty drives to the basket and excellent facilitation to her teammates in the half court. Ramlall has been collecting nice D1 offers this spring, including one from St. Thomas. Her Fury teammate Pressley Watkins Pressley Watkins 6'0" | CG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2027 State MN was offered as well, after a stellar performance on Thursday.
