<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jadyn wasted no time setting the tone, coming out in the 3v3 session with an aggressive mindset that carried over the entire day. She looked to score early and often, flashing her ability to create offense from all three levels. Her gravity as a scorer drew so much defensive attention that teammates often stood and watched, an area of her game that will evolve as she learns to use that attention to open opportunities for others. As she continues to learn how to balance scoring with facilitating, her stock will climb even higher. With her scoring arsenal, creativity off the bounce, and natural confidence, she was easily one of the most potent offensive weapons in the gym.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Aaliyah brought pace and purpose to the backcourt. She consistently initiated the offense and kept possessions flowing, pushing the ball to prevent the defense from getting comfortable. Her ability to put pressure on defenders, whether in transition or the half court, was a big part of her team's rhythm.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Asia set herself apart with her relentless attacks on the rim and ability to create scoring opportunities off the bounce. Her offensive bag is loaded, and she knows how to use it, whether it is slashing through traffic, finishing strong, or pulling up for the midi. Defensively, she impacts the game on multiple levels, showing sharp instincts, positioning awareness, and the ability to switch between help and on-ball responsibilities. She is also an active rebounder,which adds another layer to her value. A two-way prospect with real upside, she is one to track closely in this class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cailen is a versatile young wing with clear long-term upside. She showcased a three-level scoring profile and really thrived when attacking the rim and finishing through contact. Her athleticism and body control allowed her to consistently convert inside the arc, and while her outside shot wasn't fully clicking on the day, her smooth mechanics and past track record showed it is a weapon defenders must respect. She runs the floor hard, has a quick first step, handles that create separation, and the ability to score with both finesse and power. Her complete offensive toolkit makes her a name to track closely in this class.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cara is a lead guard who played with poise and control, handling the responsibility of organizing the offense and keeping it fluid. She excelled at advancing the ball quickly to prevent defensive setups and was most effective when the game sped up. Her court vision and awareness allowed her to connect with teammates in stride.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Emmy proved to be one of the more reliable decision-makers at the camp. She is a poised floor general, who reads the game well, processes defensive shifts quickly, and makes the right play based on what she sees. She thrives in the open floor, where her pace and vision allow her to find teammates for good looks, and she possesses the passing skills to deliver accurate feeds in tight windows. While not the biggest guard, her PG IQ, feel, and ability to orchestrate an offense make her a steady presence at the point.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Emoni thrived in transition, and when the pace was up-tempo, that is when you saw her best work, out in transition. She's a downhill, attacking guard who looks to get into the paint and finish with determination. Continued growth on the defensive end will elevate her impact and round out her game.</p>
