<p class="has-medium-font-size">Hannah has good positional size, versatility, and length. When out on the floor, she flashes her athleticism, shows her motor, and is a mismatch nightmare with her ability to score from all levels coupled with a skill set that enhances her playmaking ability. She is active on the glass and shows her handles in the open floor as she often rims and run making good decisions in transition. Hannah is capable of some big-time highlight finishes at the rim and can score from the perimeter with her jumper. She has all the makings of a versatile defender, and as I said, she can rebound her position. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jamonica is a physically imposing interior player who is stout with good positional size. It is not often that she is defended one-on-one on the low block, which means she is constantly drawing double and sometimes triple teams. Seeing that type of defense night in and night out has done nothing but help her in her ability to play out of the double by making really good decisions with the ball and showing her passing ability out of the post. She is tough to deal with on the low block because she establishes deep position and uses her size to seal defenders, often pushing them under the rim. She has a long wingspan, which helps her when on the glass and as a rim protector on the defensive end of the floor. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981034' first='Kristen' last='Johnson']</strong> (5'9/PG/2026/Hazel Green)</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Kristen listed PG as her position, but she can easily be looked upon as a combo guard because of her ability to balance scoring and facilitating. She is a really good iso scorer who makes tough shots and can produce inside and out. She is really aggressive off the bounce and is a tough finisher at the rim, and she can also get it done from behind the arc. She has a solid build, which allows her to embrace and play through contact. She is a heady player who will not force shots but does an excellent job of creating her own offense based on what the defense is giving her. She will be a key piece to why Hazel Green will be favored to repeat. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981035' first='Campbell' last='Barron']</strong> (5'9/SG/2026/Pisgah)</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">When you watch Campbell's game, you are immediately blown away by her scoring prowess. Whether slashing through the defense to the cup, finishing with touch on her floaters, or draining a long trey ball, Campbell is one of the toughest scorers in the class. She is a skilled backcourt talent who can play on and off the ball, but she is at her best when the ball is in her hands, and she has the freedom to orchestrate the offense and make plays. She is a crafty, strong-willed player and is a remarkably smart and tricky offensive weapon, and not too many have come up with a scheme to slow her down. She is not the fastest or the quickest, but she understands how to get to her spots and how to recognize her scoring windows, and as they say, the rest is history, just as she is in the history books as a 1,000-point career scorer.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981036' first='Jael' last='Robinson'] </strong>(6'0/PF/2026/Bob Jones)</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jael is an interior presence with an intimidating wingspan for many small guards looking to get to the cup and finish. She is a rim deterrent who does a good job blocking and altering shots. She has a lot of upside left to develop, but she makes her presence felt on both ends of the floor. I have shared what she is capable of on the defensive end, as she can lock down the paint, while offensively, she does not mind being physical around the basket with her scoring opportunities. She makes impressive moves in isolation on occasion, can play through the double, and has the potential to be a double-double producer every night. </p>
