[player_tooltip player_id='270725' first='Ava' last='Black'] (2025) | 5'11 CG | Tabor   An absolute stud of a prospect! [player_tooltip player_id='270725' first='Ava' last='Black'] is coming into the year as the #1 combo guard in the class due to her complete game. The Vanderbilt commit is a first-class 2-way, 3-level scorer. The Tabor Academy star excels in various areas of the floor while helping dictate the flow of the game with her uncanny ability to read and dissect defenses. She has crafty moves in isolation that help her create separation from defenders. The 3-point shot is topnotch, along with her pullup jump shot. Ava can get to the rim with a few dribbles, but an even more exceptional trait is her ability to cut without the ball in her hands. She will give up the ball quickly to get it back in an even better position after diving to the open areas of the defense. On the other side of the ball, Black is a menace. The ball hawking guard preys on weak ball handlers who are loose with their dribble. She will help cut whole sides of the court off with her astute defensive awareness that allows her to be in the best position on the floor. Her tenacious and relentless ability to fight through contact coupled with her athletic frame make her a nightmare to face. Ava disrupts opposing teams' offenses and looks to create turnovers to get out on the break. In conclusion, Black is without a doubt one of the most elite talents in the entire class.     [player_tooltip player_id='278586' first='Emma' last='Olausson'] (2025) | 5'11 CG | Hamden Hall   Emma is coming in as the #2 combo guard ranked in the class. The recently committed Olausson is a very intriguing prospect with a ton of game. The long and agile 5'11 guard has a compounded handle that is beautifully composed with elite attacking moves on top of fundamentally sound movements. Once Emma attacks a defender's top foot, they are in a world of trouble in an attempt to recover. The combo moves Olausson can pull off within the flow of the offense is magnificent to observe. She knows how to play the right way, but her masterful game is a pleasure to watch carve defenses up. Once getting downhill, Emma can see and hit all her options with precision passes. The shooting Olausson provides is next level though. She can slide to an off-ball position and act as a sniper within the halfcourt or sprinting wide for transition 3-pointers on the wing. All types of actions can be composed for a player like Emma which is why she always remains a threat. Olausson is the real deal and will be in a lead role this year at Hamden Hall.     [player_tooltip player_id='389884' first='Charlotte' last='Adams-Lopez'] (2025) | 5'8 CG | Bishop Feehan   [player_tooltip player_id='389884' first='Charlotte' last='Adams-Lopez'] is an outstanding playmaker. She is a decisive decision maker that keeps defenders on their heels. The recent Brown University commit can create for herself and her teammates like no other. Charlotte is a sharp ball handler that knows how to control her speeds to be productive within the offense. Without the ball in her hands, she runs off screens seamlessly and catches in triple threat. She exercises all of her pivot options while assessing the defense. Her ability to snake screens and make assists in the halfcourt is one of the reasons she is coming in as the third best at the position. Charlottes's finishing ability after drawing multiple defenders is high level. She finishes softly off the glass with finger rolls, but has also become an expert in scoring off floaters. These are proficient shots that are demoralizing to shot blockers. On defensive, Adams-Lopez is determined to fight for loose balls and take all the charges she can. She can help swing the momentum with her timely plays that can propel her team. Bishop Feehan has an all-star ready for a big year this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='269262' first='Narissa' last='Smith'] (2025) | 5'6 CG | Rivers   Narissa is a dynamic player that offers highlight worthy plays consistently and remains a continuous threat throughout the game. Her ability to get downhill quickly along with her smooth deep range shooting ability keeps the defense in jeopardy. She makes quick passes after dribble penetration to the perimeter. When she commits to the basket, she is able to get around secondary defenders and find her way to the rim. As a shooter, can knock down shots off the catch or off the dribble. Narissa has a smooth shooting form that gets great rotation on the ball. Defensively, Smith can be a pesty defender that can guard a bunch of different perimeter players. She uses her quickness to her advantage while guarding ballhandlers. Overall, Narissa is a consistent player that will contribute to winning plays regularly. She comes in as the #4 ranked player at the position.     [player_tooltip player_id='301042' first='Bleu' last='Kerr'] (2025) | 5'9 CG | Boston Latin   A strong and commanding combo guard that is an instinctive mismatch. Bleu's athleticism allows her to have the edge over a lot of guards that she faces. As a primary ball handler, defenders have a tough time stopping her from getting to the rim. She naturally blows by players with simple in-and-out moves or an easy crossover that allows her to put her shoulder down and create wide angles to the basket. Kerr's game has been developing recently with the addition of a pull up jump shot. She can hit defenders with setup isolation moves to create enough space to pull off fancy step backs or efficient midrange shots at will. Kerr crashes the glass hard when she's in an off-ball position. A simple box out won't work because she fights around them to track the ball. In transition, good luck stopping her. Bleu is a freight train coming downhill. The athleticism previously mentioned is also translated on the defensive side of the ball. She can guard multiple positions due to her sheer strength and capacity to move fluidly. Kerr can have a major year this season with her high-powered game.
