She rained down threes off the hop and the bounce with silky smooth mechanics. Aubrey pushed the ball up the court with pace, converted layups confidently with both hands, and made her presence felt on the defensive end. At the Select Super Showcase, Aubrey caught fire from beyond the arc, draining three triples in a short span. She has crafty handles and the ability to drive with a burst past defenders. Aubrey earned a higher ranking and will be a shooting star for the West Michigan Hornets this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1120232"],"_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-68894a0fac46f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Katelyn jumped up our rankings and looks poised for a breakout junior year at Oxford. She had an outstanding tournament for the [program_tooltip program_id='1243619' first='Clarkston' last='Warriors'] at the Cagers Invitational. Katelyn used her shifty handles to create space from defenders and attacked gaps to score layups. She forced turnovers with her defensive pressure and poured in three-pointers with confidence. At Northwood Team Camp, Katelyn was the x-factor for the Wildcats. She pushed the ball up the floor with both hands after snagging steals and scored contested floaters after quick crossovers. Katelyn drained a corner three off the catch with a high arc and made quick transfers to score off cuts. One of her highlights was a shot-fake, split-drive layup over a defender. Katelyn can create high-percentage shots for herself and teammates--she'll be an exciting playmaker to watch in the OAA this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/cagers-now-you-see-me-now-you-dont/">Read More About Katelyn</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903129"],"_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-68894a0fac4bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie is a Houghton combo guard-wing who impressed me on film this past winter, came south to show out at the Mother's Day Classic, and was a Top Performer at the Zero Star Showcase. She has excellent touch and footwork around the basket. Ellie scores off two feet with power and can finish tough reverses in a crowd. She creates space to drive with shifty crossovers, makes smart passes to open teammates, and has a smooth three-point jumper. Ellie has the length, strength, and foot speed to be effective inside and on the perimeter. She has good instincts on defense and creates steals. Ellie is a versatile prospect, and she proved her weight in gold multiple times to earn this ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/zero-star-showcase-top-performers/">Read More About Ellie</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903059"],"_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-68894a0fac506"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gretel was an All-UP First Team selection for Negaunee, and an even bigger junior season is on the horizon. Her physical strength and athleticism immediately grab your attention. She competes hard and communicates like a coach on the court. Gretel pushes herself to the max in her training, and the results show in competition. At the Zero Star Showcase, she was one of the best players in the gym. Her ball-handling speed and control stood out. Gretel has a high basketball IQ that shows as she makes unselfish passes to open teammates and understands making the right play. She shot the ball at a high clip from the mid-range and three-point distance. Gretel worked hard on defense, and that created several steals. She's a combo-guard prospect who earned a higher ranking, and I'm excited to see her play a prominent role again for the Miners this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/zero-star-showcase-top-performers/">Read More About Gretel</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751167"],"_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-68894a0fac55e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophia is a prospect with an intoxicating passion and joy for the game of basketball. Her confidence and development have continued to grow on the court. Sophia has shifty quickness and athleticism that make her a difficult matchup for opposing guards. She consistently poured in perimeter jumpers for [program_tooltip program_id='932068' first='Michigan' last='Prospects'] 17U throughout the travel season and impressed both of our scouts at LBI Jamfest. Sophia buried four triples in one game on day one and caused many fouls by driving hard to the basket. She moved her feet quickly with determination on defense to keep the ball in front of her. On day two, Sophia continued her dominance, finishing tough layups through contact, making great cuts off the ball, hitting perimeter shots, and playing impactful defense. She picked up offers from some of the most competitive JUCOs in the state and earned a rankings boost in our latest update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/jamfest-17u-sharpshooters/">Read More About Sophia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
