Northwood Team Camp: 2026 Prospects on the Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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. The stars shone, and several unknowns proved their potential to play college basketball. Here are several 2026 prospects who had a great camp for their teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["615944"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1268156,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6872e780af3aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carly was a difference maker for Troy at the Northwood Team Camp. Her physical presence and determined effort resulted in many offensive rebounds. Carly secured an offensive board and finished with the put back. She sealed her defender with a strong stance, caught the pass, and spun to score off two feet. Carly threw a long pass on the money for the assist, sprinted after a loose ball. She out jumped a defender to catch a 50/50 pass and finished the play with a layup. Carly converted free throws and turned in a complete performance for the Colts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734919"],"_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-686fbe86e0276"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bella shot up our rankings in the latest update and for good reason. She's proven herself time and again, with another great showing at Northwood Team Camp. Bella can play positions 1-5 at any point for Stevenson. She sealed defenders with brute strength inside and scored with her left hand after a step-through pivot move. Bella plays smart without the ball, scoring multiple layups on back-door cuts--she transfers the ball quickly to finish with either hand. Bella slides laterally to cut off drives and closed out hard to block a perimeter shot attempt. She was a force on the offensive glass and ran swiftly up the court to score transition layups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773851"],"_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-686fbe86e02d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elizabeth had a fantastic camp last year, and she turned in another impressive performance for Okemos at Northwood Team Camp in 2025. Elizabeth shot lights out from beyond the arc in a game with several finding nothing but net. She pushed the ball quickly up the court to create transition points for herself and her teammates. Elizabeth made a smooth transfer to score a full-speed layup off two feet in transition. She used her length to deflect passes and create steals on defense. Elizabeth finished shots efficiently off two feet at the rim throughout the camp and is a great pickup for Aquinas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["860201"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1268154,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6872e780af464"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia is a guard who looked solid for Troy at the Northwood Team Camp. She jumped a pass for the steal and shot the ball with confidence from the perimeter. Olivia changed hands seamlessly and used a between-the-legs crossover combination to create space from defenders. She buried a three-pointer from the wing, chased down two offensive rebounds, and dished an assist. Olivia will be a productive guard this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["616578"],"_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-686fbe86e0334"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julia is a point guard prospect who climbed our rankings in the latest update. She provided more supporting evidence at the Northwood Team Camp with Anchor Bay. Julia snagged a defensive rebound, pushed it the length of the court, absorbed contact, and scored the layup as the first quarter ended. She dribbled into a smooth mid-range corner jumper and made a fluid transfer to score a fully extended left-handed layup in top gear. Julia acknowledged to a teammate that her pass was off the mark--leaders accept responsibility, have humility, and hold themselves to a higher standard. She stole the ball, drove hard down the lane, and scored with a pizza pie floater over the help defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["614711"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1268152,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-686fbe86e0392"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nadia is going to be a productive player for Berkley this winter, and she had a very impactful presence at the Northwood Team Camp. Nadia knocked down many three-pointers for the Bears off the catch and dribbled into a triple from the wing. She worked hard inside to secure offensive rebounds and converted a strong and one-layup off two feet. Nadia drove hard to the basket with her left and transferred the ball to her right for the finish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734922"],"_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-686fbe86e03f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabby earned a higher ranking in our latest update, and she backed it up with a solid showing for Stevenson at the Northwood Team Camp. Gabby dove on the floor to secure a steal and swiped two more in a short span. She side-stepped a defender on a drive and finished through contact for an and-one layup. Gabby drove hard to the basket with her left, used a high pick-up transfer, and scored the layup. She showed her athleticism by jumping high up in the air to snag an entry pass, and shot out of a cannon to grab an important offensive rebound late. Gabby used quick and shifty crossovers to get to the foul line, then knocked down her free throw. She has prototypical length, athleticism, toughness, and two-way abilities that make her an appealing prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
