[player_tooltip player_id='491826' first='Isabel' last='Grube'] (2026) | 5'9 SG | Miss Porter's   A riveting player for Miss Porter's that happens to be very shrewd too. Isabel averaged 15 ppg and almost set the single season assist record with 84 of them. She can play with anyone on the floor and is a reliable outlet option for dribble-drive attacks. With her increased production over the year, it's made Grube a stock-riser in the class. It'll be excited to see how Isabel carries over the momentum from the successful junior season at Miss Porter's.     [player_tooltip player_id='364120' first='Molly' last='Sisson'] (2026) | 6'3 PF | Saint Andrew's   Molly has been heavily featured in the past, especially during last year's offseason. She reclassed and she blossomed beautifully playing more games during AAU. This resulted in her picking up some offers in a short span. Sisson was steadily focused on this year at Saint Andrew's and she spent a large part finding her groove in the offense. This AAU season she'll have an abundance of opportunities to showcase her calculating versatility on both sides of the floor. Molly is one of those players that can raise her game when playing with high caliber players. Her AAU squad is littered with the upper echelon of the class and her full capabilities will be on display.     [player_tooltip player_id='481354' first='Brooke' last='Nunnally-Gardner'] (2026) | 6'0 PF | Dexter Southfield   There's not a harder working big in NEPSAC AAA. Brooke has made a name for herself as the tough nosed forward that can play inside & out, but she's been the quintessential anchor for her squad for some time now. Nunnally-Gardner has been tasked with doing the dirty work and sometimes she can get overlooked because she's not doing the most glamorous things on the floor. Brooke does have a knack for finding the ball, plus her teammates trust her soft touch around the rim. Even if she does miss though, the '26 big has a high probability of getting her own rebound. Her defensive instincts can also be understated at times. She cuts players off and uses her physical tools to protect the paint. Not only that, but Brooke also runs the floor very well for someone who could be considered a brute force. The AAA All-Star stepped up this year after losing some impressive talent from last year's team. Brooke was reliable in individual matchups and really brought the pressure to opponents. It'll be interesting to see how she translates the dominance to AAU.     [player_tooltip player_id='278585' first='Tiyara' last='Gonzalez'] (2026) | 5'0 PG | Pawtucket   Tiyara led the team in scoring and was featured in heavy minutes through the whole season. She's highly conditioned so she can fly around the floor plus she won't get tired while being highly productive. Gonzalez offers interesting fast paced playmaking as well as scoring that can provide a spark to any stagnant offense. She regularly attracts secondary attention and she's also quite the on-ball defender. Guards can't be sloppy with their handle around her; Tiyara will pluck any loose dribbling that she spots around her. The hounding persistence she shows on defense allows her to be effective on almost any point guard. She plays way above what her size states. There could very well be more offers to come.     [player_tooltip player_id='491815' first='Cassidy' last='Mullin'] (2026) | 5'8 PG | Thayer Academy   Cassidy was a factor in Thayer reaching the postseason this season. In her last game vs Hotchkiss, she scored 10 points, provided staple defense, dished out a few assists as well as snagging some important boards to secure possessions for her team. Mullin will do whatever it takes to get her team the win. She has a team-first mentality which is an excellent trait to have as a point. Coaches trust her with the ball in hands; she's never overdribbling or overloading the offense with bad reads that result in dead plays. Mullin isn't concerned with how pretty things look either. She'll grind it out if that's what the game calls for. That competitive spirit really uplifts her team's moral in crucial times. Cassidy has kept her team in the fight vs a bunch of cutthroat NEPSAC teams and her ability to answer the call during big moments makes her a player to keep an eye on. She was nominated as a contender for the Class A DPOY as well as being an All-Star selection. It'll be exciting to see Mullin's progression this Spring.
