<p>Several college prospects fit for a variety of levels have registered, but we still believe there are MANY 2025s out there who would be great additions to our showcase. Here are several prospects who could shine on the big stage in front of our scouts and college coaches if they attend.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902910' first='Emily' last='Jokela']-2025-5-5-CG-Lake Linden-Hubbell-[program_tooltip program_id='928192' first='Zero' last='Star Basketball']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Emily is a thousand-point scorer who has a quick burst off the bounce and great finishing technique around the rim. She shoots off the dribble very well in the mid-range and will bury teams from 3. She is a yooper hooper who we definitely want to journey south to compete in front of many college coaches at The Expo. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Savina helped lead Frankfort to a Breslin birth last season and is a SF/PF prospect with serious length that college coaches would enjoy watching at The Expo. Savina scores with her back to the basket and extends her shooting range to knock down shots outside. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Georgia Kuyers-2025-5-10-PF-Zeeland West</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Georiga is an athletic forward prospect who can jump out of the gym and chase down guards in transition. She had a fantastic weekend at Northwood Team Camp, finishing strong on the offensive end and blocking shots in the paint. Georgia's high motor and style would impress many college coaches at our Expo. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502316' first='Miley' last='Young']-2025-5-6-CG-Niles Brandywine-5 Star Basketball</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Miley played lockdown defense in the postseason last year to help Brandywine make a Breslin center run. She has an explosive burst off the dribble and is a tough guard who college coaches would enjoy watching compete against top guard prospects at The Expo. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rachel is a guard who has faced adversity wth difficult injuries but is an outstanding prospect when her feet touch the court. Rachel is a shooter with a green light to fire from outside and she consistently knocks them down. If she is 100% healthy, I would enjoy seeing Rachel compete in front of college coaches at The Expo to remind them of how great she is.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='424147' first='Payton' last='Palmer']-2025-5-8-CG-Midland-Mystics</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Payton is a guard who can bury teams with her 3-point shooting efficiency and score with solid footwork on her drives to the basket. She earned SVL All-Conference honors last season and would be a prospect college coaches would enjoy evaluating at The Expo. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502302' first='Ellie' last='Wrona']-2025-PG-5-8-Spring Lake-MBA</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ellie has vision, ball handling control, and efficiency shooting the ball which make her an excellent next-level prospect. Ellie drives and scores with balance around the basket. She is a guard who college coaches would enjoy seeing compete at The Expo.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Allison is a versatile prospect who has the physicality to impact games inside and the shooting range to knock down shots on the perimeter. Allison has an excellent face-up game to attack and score on drives through the paint. Her gritty style of play is one coaches would enjoy watching at The Expo. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613004' first='Dalton' last='Deboer']-2025-SG-5-5-Midland Dow</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dalton is a guard who can flat out let it fly with deadly accuracy from 3 point range. She puts her foot in the ground and drives by defenders to score off the dribble. Dalton makes smart reads with the ball and swings the ball to open shooters. She did not play travel this spring and is a prospect who could remind coaches how effective she is at The Expo. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='854689' first='Yasmeen' last='Dabish']-2025-SF-5-8-Troy Athens-[program_tooltip program_id='713458' first='1829' last='']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yasmeen is a prospect with a polished game that produces in many ways on the court. She handles the ball like a guard, attacks off the dribble, shoots well from the perimeter, and outworks opponents for rebounds. Yasmeen is a high basketball IQ prospect currently underrecruited and one who I'd like to see catch college coaches' attention at The Expo. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hannah has the physical strength and height college coaches want in a lead guard at the next level. She drives hard through defenders off the dribble, muscles her way to rebounds, and is a threat to score from the perimeter. Hannah won the Upperclassmen MOP Award at David Barns and is definitely a prospect college coaches would enjoy watching at The Expo.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='423698' first='Christina' last='Gibson']-2025-PG-5-4-South Lake-[program_tooltip program_id='962114' first='Lady' last='FVV']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Christina is a point guard prospect who shoots accurately off the dribble with great accuracy in the mid-range and from 3-point distance. She has shifty handles and a burst off the dribble that is tough to defend. Christina is a showtime style guard who could dazzle coaches with her offensive game at The Expo.</p>
