<p class="text-gray-700">Jayden continues to do it all on the court! She's one of the athletes with an extremely high basketball IQ! Defensively, she is going to call out the screens, she is going to tell you when there is a shooter in the corner, and she is going to communicate effectively to her teammates. She reads passing lanes better than most. She is a solid on ball defender, and she continues to use her length to her advantage. Kitts is an all-around athlete, and her defense is another separation factor!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I have spoken on Gamble's defense numerous times throughout her basketball career, and her defense remains at the top. Yes, she will give up a few tough fouls, but she is going to make sure to make up for it! Addi's defensive intensity remains the best. She does not take a play off on either side of the floor. Yes, she can run your offense. However, her defense stands out extremely fast because she is always around the ball. She is an elite defender, and more eyes should be on this one! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We know Elsa can drop 27, 28, 29 or even 30 points in a single game. However, her defense is exceptionally good like her offensive output! There is levels to defensive communication and Law is definitely advanced in this retrospect! She's a basketball savvy kid that understands all aspects of the game. I love the triple-doubles that Elsa puts out with steals, assists, and points! She's a stat stuffer, and she continues to be an all-around complete player! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Knotts is one of the best post players that you will find. She protects the paint better than most! Yes, she can average a double-double with her scoring, and rebounding. She can also go get you 5 steals, and 5 blocks in the same game. She is the kid that makes 10 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 5 steals in a single game look easy. Izzy is going to be high on a lot of radars this grassroots season! Keep eyes on her throughout her high school career. She's a multi-sport athlete that knows how to win! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We talk about how smooth Glasper is with her handles, elite passing, and elite scoring. However, this athlete's elite defense is a difference maker. She stands out from most athletes no matter what court she is playing on. She is going to play D1 basketball for a reason. She is the true definition of a DAWG! She's one of the top '26 athletes, and I look for her to have a huge senior season! I can't wait to see who lands this elite athlete at the next level!</p>
