[player_tooltip player_id='1274414' first='Ella' last='Higgins'] (2028) | 6'0 PF/C | Milton Academy   Ella has great tools that'll find her success. Higgins can play in transition due to her knack for rim running after made or missed baskets and she thrives as the pace slows down in halfcourt play. Ella is flat-out one of the better rebounders in the class. Opponents have a tough time keeping her off the glass. Ella makes a living off putbacks and she provides an excellent safety net that'll finish plays off.     [player_tooltip player_id='1209779' first='Alicia' last='Stone'] (2028) | 5'5 | PF/SG | Bancroft   Alicia is a forward to be high on. She sets solid on-ball screens, dives hard after them and does a great job of drawing contact plus finishing when found. Stone has no problem operating from multiple post points plus she shows some creation skills on the drives. The defense she provides is extensive though. Her physicality in combination with her agility make her so striking. Stone provides a boost while securing rebounds as well as showing hard to then recover on pick & roll coverage. Alicia will be one to watch this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1249763' first='Brianna' last='Bagley'] (2028) | 5'7 SF | East Catholic   Brianna is an athletic forward that's looking to get downhill and covers a lot of ground on her drives. She finishes high over the help as she's usually beating her initial matchup off the dribble. Bagley is relentless too; she follows through to gather her own rebounds if she doesn't connect on the first shot. This determination is a flex of pure that can be demoralizing to the defense. Brianna also has the ability to have high scoring outputs when her number is called. She's growing into a real threat and it wouldn't be surprising to see her move up the ranks on the next update.     [player_tooltip player_id='1250020' first='Kayla' last='Cisse'] (2028) | PF | South Burlington   Cisse is a well-grounded forward that understands how to play at the game and utilizes her skillset to best benefit her team. Cisse isn't ball dominate so others can prosper around her. Kayla is reliable on offense and is a defensive anchor that's a natural deterrent to drives to the rim.     Hogan is a player that hasn't been mentioned much in the past, but that's going to change. Samatha shows she has the potential to be a serious contributor and willingly fills the needs of her team in a heartbeat. She's a great teammate that aids in team morale, a trait that just can't be measured. It's obvious with more reps, Samatha will start to be a consistent factor.
