This long, rangy wing has unlimited potential. Very refined skillset for her size and age.<strong> Amel</strong> moves very well and her extremely long arms disrupt passing lanes. Good speed and overall athleticism. <strong>Amel</strong> has very solid mechanics on her jumper, which bodes well down the road. Spots up with elite footwork. She looks like a pure shooter when you watch her shoot. <strong>Amel</strong> already has ideal length at the wing for Division I. Has a knack for always being around the ball (offensive rebounds, loose balls, etc.). Has shown she can score off-the-dribble and off-the-catch. She will be in the mix for POY throughout her prep career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1255381' first='Ella' last='Mims']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Gahr","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb49632aca4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Ella</strong> is a can't miss prospect and the definition of versatility. Her fluidity and mobility is unreal at that size. She can go coast-to-coast with the ball in her hands. She can hit the open 3 from time-to-time or put the ball on the deck. <strong>Ella</strong> is a strong, aggressive rebounder who plays with an edge. She seemingly glides up and down the court, effortlessly making plays on both ends. She looks even bigger than 6'1. Her frame and athleticism forces turnovers that result in extra opportunities for her team. ELITE rim protector!! <strong>Ella </strong>has DPOY ability as a help defender and 1v1 defender. Her defensive recovery is truly special. Although she plays a lot of center in high school, <strong>Ella's</strong> future is small forward. What she brings to the table will allow her to adjust with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574429"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e997736d0fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Kaeli</strong> is an excellent spot-up shooter with great form. She moves very well without the ball. Despite injury issues, <strong>Kaeli</strong> had a great year and dominated when she was on the court. The combination of her size and quick release make her a threat as soon as she crosses half court. <strong>Kaeli's</strong> shot making ability is a proven commodity given she has played some of the best comp in the entire country. She is also a great help defender who is willing to guard bigger players. Expect her to be an immediate impact player at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Telayia Fuller","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lawndale","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb49632ad5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Telayia</strong> has impressed as a scorer, rebounder, and defender since her freshman season. Her playmaking drastically improved this year (12 games with 4+ assists). <strong>Telayia</strong> has a scorer's mentality and is unstoppable when she has it going. Her season-high of 34 points came on 58% shooting. <strong>Telayia's</strong> ideal length and defensive tenacity make her an elite 2-way prospect. She is one of only a select few to record two games of 10+ steals AND two games of 4+ blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":" Sarai Kamweru","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Temescal Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f69976d02af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Sarai's</strong> scoring really took off during the 2nd half of the season. She dropped 30+ four times in a seven-game stretch, including a 37 point performance on just 18 shots. Elite 3-level scorer who knows how to get to the line. Rebounding and defense are staples of her game as well. <strong>Sarai</strong> had two games with 20+ rebounds this year. She routinely generated steals and blocks that gave her team a winning chance. One of the top under-the-radar prospects in the 2026 class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["857147"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f69976d0308"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Emerson</strong> can score the ball inside and out. Her length and shot creation ability allow her to get a shot off whenever she chooses. Smooth finisher inside and very fundamentally sound. Consider <strong>Emerson</strong> a shooter AND a scorer. She went for 30+ on three separate occasions. 7 games with double-digit boards. <strong>Emerson</strong> also had 3 or more assists several times throughout the year. As consistent as she is in the scoring department, her reliability in other facets of the game separate her from the rest of the pack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
