"The Expo" Preview | Prep Girls Hoops

For the fifth time in six years, Prep Girls Hoops brings "The Expo" to Indiana. Formerly known as the Top-250, "The Expo" will be at Fishers High School this Sunday, September 22nd, from 9:00 a.m. until roughly 2:00 p.m. Prep Girls Hoops added a Freshman Showcase in 2022 for the first time, followed by the release of the first Sophomore ID Camp this Fall. With those two events having taken place earlier this month, the focus now turns to the classes of 2025 and 2026. Below is a quick look at a handful of prospects set to attend "The Expo" this Sunday. We will have more coverage throughout next week, with analysis on each prospect in attendance.   .    Tianna is in her second year at Cathedral, after transferring in from North Central, and she is primed for a big Winter. She is a strong, athletic, versatile guard who can do a variety of things offensively. She can handle it and initiate the offense, she is an aggressive North/South driver, plus she can knock down an open rhythm jumper. Defensively, she plays with a sense of urgency, she can defend on or off the ball, plus she's an effective rebounder for her position. Additionally, she always plays with an outstanding motor.     Morgan has always been a really nice athlete who has flashed double-double potential. This year could be that year. Playing alongside 6-6 [player_tooltip player_id='295789' first='Avery' last='Gordon'], she could see more opportunities to score as her defender helps over. Additionally, Morgan has extended her range and looks very comfortable in the mid-post, with the potential to knock down the occasional 3-pointer. Defensively, when engaged, she can take on wings on the perimeter or forwards inside. She had a nice June & July, and she could follow that with a strong Winter.     Gracyn will be in her first season with the Trojans after transferring in from Munster High School. She is a long, strong, and athletic wing who can execute a variety of roles. She has the ability and skill to handle the ball, push it in transition, and even initiate the offense...her vision and passing are often undervalued. She is an athletic attacker, she can knock down a rhythm jumper, plus she has the size to battle some in the mid-post, if that's what Center Grove needs. Additionally, she does it all with great effort and awareness.     Laniah has been "on the radar" since her days at Highland Middle School. She has tremendous length, wiry strength, plus she has North/South speed and nice bounce. She is a very active and athletic rebounder who chases down caroms outside of her area. She has mostly looked comfortable around the block, in the mid-post, and in the short corners, but she is starting to handle the ball more consistently in transition, attempting to be more of a playmaker. She is certainly athletic enough to defend out on the wing.     The PGH Freshman Showcase in 2022 was where I saw Ava for the first time, and she continues to improve each year. She is another long, fluidly athletic prospect who can play with some versatility. When she was younger, she looked most comfortable in the mid-range game, looking to attack the basket or shoot it from 15-feet. But as she has developed her skill, she has looked more comfortable pushing the ball in transition, creating offense for teammates, and now occasionally knocking down a rhythm 3-pointer.     Anna is a really nice asset for the Kingsmen, because she combines size, length, and ability with a skillful face-up game. She is really comfortable in the mid-post, knocking down 15 to 17-foot jump-shots when in rhythm, but she's also much more consistent now around the perimeter. She can put it on the floor a little, she's active and tries to play physical around the paint, plus she is a hard-working defender who does a solid job of sitting down and helping on ball screens. She can even switch onto guards for a few seconds to help contain.     After watching Aleeyah in July, I was very impressed with her combination of talent, skill, and feel for the game. She is on the rise, and the departure of a number of graduates and transfers from Decatur Central should only help her cause that much more. She could be the primary scoring option for the Hawks, but she also has some ball skill and could act as the key facilitator. Whatever role they ask her to fill, she has the ability to execute at a high level. With her talent, I would also like to see her become one of the best on-ball defenders in 2026.
