She imposed her will in the paint for Michigan Crossover on both ends of the court at the April Showers Classic. Janiah looks like the next great forward coming out of Belleville. She's a prospect we'd love to see against top prospects at the Freshman Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/lbi-april-showers-michigan-crossover-14u-jr-eybl/">Read More About Janiah</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1254617"],"_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":1191074,"_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-689a799f454e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">De'Niyah competes with fire and toughness on the court.

Reese blew me away with her athleticism, hustle, defense, and full-speed finishes during a Jackson League Game. She'll have an important role this winter and we hope to see her compete at the Freshman Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232469"],"_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-689a799f455af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malena has athleticism and length that grab your attention on the court. She finishes around the basket and protects the rim as a shot blocker. Malena is very mobile and knocks down free throws when she gets to the line. Her abilities stood out for [program_tooltip program_id='715424' first='The' last='Naturals'] during the travel season, and we'd enjoy seeing her compete again at the Freshman Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/cagers-invite-full-of-potential-2029-forwards/">Read More About Marena</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1260325"],"_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-689a799f4562f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Karsyn almost slipped through the cracks, but her performance at the Au Sable Shootout kept that from happening. She is a 6-footer who can push the ball in transition, protect the rim as a shot blocker, win the rebounding battle, and finish around the basket. Karsyn's older sister went D1 for volleyball, and she has the potential to be a high-caliber recruit. Karsyn is a Cass City prospect we'd love to see compete against top prospects at the Freshman Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/au-sable-shootout-cass-citys-6-foot-sisters/">Read More About Karsyn</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249690"],"_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-689a799f45697"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kathleen had a memorable PGH Michigan State Tournament for MBA. She had not quit in her and that relentless effort resulted in a dominant weekend on both sides of the ball. Kathleen has the versatile skills and strength to excel playing guard or forward. She powered through contact to score many shots at the rim, knocked down perimeter jumpers, and blocked shots on defense. Kathleen is a prospect who would be a great addition to the Freshman Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/michigan-state-tournament-14u-all-tourney-team/">Read More About Kathleen</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1234969"],"_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-689a799f456f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elliot is a Swiss army knife on the court, and she consistently stood out as one of the most productive players on [program_tooltip program_id='715424' first='The' last='Naturals'] during the travel season. She gets downhill with a burst and finishes strong layups off two feet. Elliot has a relentless hustle, sound footwork, and is a determined rebounder.

At the Big North Shootout, Quinn's high-flying finishing, athleticism, and rebounding reminded me of prospects who have a high ranking. She could make a strong statement about her basketball abilities by performing well against top prospects at the Freshman Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/07/big-north-shootout-beware-of-2029-bulldog/">Read More About Quinn</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244489"],"_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-689a799f45794"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Niqco has length and height that tower over most high school forwards.
