2028s In The Lab at Northwood Camp

Northwood University hosted its first high school team camp from June 27th to 29th. A fantastic variety of teams attended from all across Michigan, and the OT Tournament remains a staple of the camp. Here are several 2028 prospects who looked right at home during their games at Northwood.    Jaelyn is a promising prospect who made a splash with Jefferson at Northwood Team Camp. She pushed the ball swiftly in transition with both hands to create transition scoring opportunities. Jaelyn drove the rock hard to the basket, changed hands, and finished the layup. She handled the ball confidently with both hands and drilled a deep step back three at the top of the key. Jaelyn used jab steps to create space from defenders to drive and shoot. She caused fouls by posting up defenders and penetrating gaps with her dribble. Jaelyn jabbed, used a quick sweep, and swished a high-arcing straightaway triple with a confident follow through. She drilled a three with a hand in her face from the wing and buried another off the catch.     Lainey turned in a determined performance for Salem at Northwood Team Camp. She drove with a burst by her defender to score a left-handed layup and attacked off the dribble again to cause a foul. Lainey made a pair of high IQ plays when she went backdoor to score a layup and saved a possession by bouncing a loose ball off a defender's leg out of bounds. Lainey anticipated passes on defense to snag steals and clamped down with both hands to cause jump balls. She buried a three from the top of the key and was very impactful for the Rocks.     Riley gave Troy a competitive edge at Northwood Team Camp by contributing across the board. She worked hard to grab rebounds, created space with effective spin dribbles, and pressured the ball on defense. Riley made a great kick-out pass to an open shooter for the assist, created steals, scored an offensive rebound put back, and competed for 50/50 balls.     Ella was in her lab cooking for the Chemics at Northwood Team Camp. She drilled many corner threes with confidence off the hop and used a quick pivot to set her feet, then hit the target again from the wing. Ella beat the defense by firing one-handed cross-court skip passes with her right and left to open teammates. She showed her athleticism on defense, jumping up and palming the basketball on a layup attempt. Ella drove fearlessly down the lane to cause fouls, converted free throws, and scored a Kobe-style stretch layup under a defender's arm with a soft touch off the glass. She deflected passes, grabbed offensive rebounds, and scored a determined left-handed and-one layup. Ella was relentless and a game changer on both ends of the court.     Kaiya plays in a higher gear, and that's one of the elements that set her apart at Northwood Team Camp. She changes directions with explosive steps and fast dribbles, which keep defenders on their heels. Kaiya drove with a burst down the baseline to score a floater and finished a layup with her left going full speed. She created space with an inside-out dribble and swished a three-pointer from the top of the key. Kaiya used lightning-quick retreat dribbles, then a sudden crossover to blow by her defender for a layup. She won the battle for an offensive rebound and scored the put-back. Kaiya ripped the ball away clean on defense and turned steals into transition buckets. Kaiya dished a skip pass, got it back, and drilled the straightaway three off the catch. She puts the same effort into offense and defense, never stops talking, and plays hard all the time.     Delaney was active in every category for Stevenson at Northwood Team Camp--that made her impossible to miss. She communicated on defense and made a smart pass for the assist after securing an offensive rebound. Delaney buried a free throw jumper after creating space using a crossover, between-the-legs combo dribble. She intercepted a perimeter pass, pushed the ball the other way in top gear using both hands, and finished the layup. She shot the ball confidently from three-point range, caused jump balls on defense, and caused fouls by driving hard to the basket.     Stella is a dynamic guard who plays a fast and tough brand of basketball for Salem. She looked impressive for the Rocks at Northwood Team Camp. Stella has finesse and skillful footwork around the basket. She scored a layup using a high pick-up move and scored a strong and-one after a fancy eurostep. Stella outjumped a defender to grab a 50/50 pass and caused a foul. She threw a great hammer pass to an open teammate and attacked the basket fearlessly. Stella retreated to the perimeter, then exploded through the gap to score a layup through contact. She has shifty handles and aggressive instincts that make her difficult to stop.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPCOMING EVENTS</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/Freshman-Showcase.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267337" /></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/The-Expo.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267338" /></figure>   <a href="https://events.prepgirlshoops.com/e/1580/register/michigan-freshman-showcase">Register for the Freshman Showcase</a>   <a href="https://events.prepgirlshoops.com/e/1653/register/the-expo-michigan">Register for the Expo</a>
