She has length and athleticism that immediately grabs your attention. At the Cagers Invitational, her appeal as a college prospect became crystal clear. Brynn scored layups with both hands around the basket and earned several trips to the free throw line after penetrating gaps with her explosive drives. Brynn produces double-doubles often, combining relentless effort with strength to win battles for rebounds. Her quickness and length cause turnovers on defense. Brynn uses effective pivots and strong rip-throughs to score in the paint--she's a dynamic wing who earned a higher ranking in our latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/cagers-invite-circle-these-wings/">Read More About Brynn</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903535"],"_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-6888f18c79e64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After leading Vestaburg in scoring as a freshman, Lily followed that up with a First Team All-Conference sophomore season. She excelled with Vestaburg at Ferris Team Camp and [program_tooltip program_id='713450' first='REAL' last=''] 16U at The Smoke--earning recognition from both of our scouts. Lily's high-flying athleticism and aggressiveness on the court are separators in her game. She finishes with power through contact, has fancy footwork, and snatches rebounds with a relentless effort. Lily's a prospect who's continued to show next-level qualities and she moved up in our latest rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/cagers-invite-circle-these-wings/">Read More About Lily</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751139"],"_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-6888f18c79ed3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elle has the height and versatility to impact games inside, but it's her three-point shooting that [program_tooltip program_id='713450' first='REAL' last='']ly draws your attention. She has a deadly accurate shot from downtown and fires with smooth mechanics off the hop. Elle was ripping the nets for [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] at the Select Super Showcase and she had a strong outing at SVSU Elite Camp. Elle knocked down threes off the dribble and the hop, while also making quick ball transfers to score layups off cuts. She works hard to secure rebounds and protects the rim as a shot-blocker. Elle secured a higher ranking in our latest update and is a wing-forward prospect who continues to show next-level qualities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/friday-night-post-presence-the-smoke/">Read More About Elle</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912511"],"_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-6888f18c79f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucy had a breakout tournament at the Cagers Invitational with [program_tooltip program_id='1244063' first='Great' last='Lakes Grind'] 16U. Her 6-foot frame, robust strength, and high-flying athleticism set her apart. Lucy bullied defenders inside, pinning them with strong seals to score around the basket. She muscled her way into position to secure several offensive rebounds and finished the put backs. Lucy worked hard to make a difference on the defensive end, which caused many turnovers. Lucy has the potential to become a highly sought after prospect as she develops her skills as a wing/guard. She was an All-Area Dream Team selection for Buckley as a sophomore and could be in store for an even better junior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/cagers-invite-circle-these-wings/">Read More About Lucy</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
