<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='656074' first='Ar'Nayshia' last='Griffin'] is one of the top athletes you will see at the FABC Showcase and not many players there will be able to match her ability to put the ball in the basket. Griffin is athletic, has good speed, strong in the paint. Griffin's strength down low allows her to score inside compete for rebounds against bigs. Griffin averaged 25.7 points and over 10 rebounds pee contest. Early on in Griffin's career, Coaches told me that Griffith was good enough to play all five positions on the floor. Griffith has had her share of AAU ball and she is a player to keep an eye on this summer. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='928406' first='Malekhi' last='Merritt'] is another athletic ball payer to watch this Summer live period. Merrit is looking to make a splash this season. Her athletic abilities will be on display and her ability to cut back door, take it to the rim, and shoot in the midrange game. Merritt excels on the defensive end with athleticism. quickness, and a competitive attitude. She puts good pressure on the ball and has the ability to keep the opponent from getting by her. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='981281' first='Ya'Zuri' last='Hollie'] is one of the most effective young scorers who will be at the FABC Showcase. Hollie combines power, athleticism, and speed, and has an an ability to put the ball in the basket. Give Hollie a lane and she is making a path to the rim. She has the physicality that allows her to draw fouls and get to the line consistently throughout a game. Hollie can also step back and shoot the three on occasion. Her versatility separates her from a lot of players. She could make a summer surge with her skill-set and talent. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='933334' first='Shelby' last='Gaines'] (cover photo)is primed for a Summer surge at this week' s FABC Showcase. Gaines is coming off of a statement making performance against elite talent at the Coastal College team camp earlier in the week. Gaines was efficient from behind the three point line, shot well in the midrange game, defended well on the ball and defended well on transition defense. Her all around play signifies growth in her game and puts coaches on notice just in time for this high school team live period. Gaines not only can score, but can put her teammates in position to score and succeed. Her intangibles move the needle and combined with her skillset, Gaines has already made waves on the Grassroots circuit. There could be a significant surge in Gainesville at the FABC Showcase. College coaches beware.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1201802' first='Jannell' last='Houston'] was one of the main catalyst behind NFEI's run to the State title game, a game in which she was impressive. Houston is a dynamic penetrator whyo can get to the rim and get in the paint and score. Houston has a multitude of tangibles: elite footwork, sharp handles, quick hands, physicality on both ends of the floor, elite shooting from the perimeter, and toughness. Houston is a high IQ player who understands counters and can out leverage a defender using angles and body control. Houston is poised to make a huge impression at the FABC Showcase. She could be on the verge of a significant surge. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Beyonce Jedinie is a prospect to keep a close eye on. Her skills impressed in a very limited time at the State tournament, but a then 5'10 Sophomore prospect who can shoot on the outside and get into the paint is a player to be interested in. Jedinie moves well and can create nightmares for opposing guards. She can shoot the three, rebounds well, and can put the ball down on the floor. </p>
