2027s Who Made Noise at The Kreul

Now in its 36th year, The Kreul continues its push toward becoming a true national-stage event on the girls side by drawing teams from across the country to Coral Springs, Florida. With the depth and overall level of play continuing to rise, the weekend provided a strong evaluation environment for the Class of 2027. These juniors didn't just flash upside, they asserted themselves against high-level competition by showing physical tools that translate, growing confidence in expanded roles, and the skill and feel to impact games in real time. The following 2027s stood out at The Kreul and put themselves firmly on the radar moving forward:    Sariyah made her presence felt with her ability to knock down the three and keep the offense moving. She shared the ball and played unselfishly by consistently making the extra pass to create better looks for teammates. Offensively, she showed a smooth pull up jumper and did a nice job finishing in transition by capitalizing on open-floor opportunities.     Finley stood out with her smooth game and versatility on the offensive end. She finished creatively around the rim which was highlighted by a reverse layup, and she consistently stretched the floor with her ability to knock down threes from anywhere beyond the arc. Her midrange pull up jumper is especially tough to contest given her height and high release. She also showed a strong feel for the game by cutting in front of defenders for timely buckets and finding scoring opportunities without needing plays called for her.     Calise made a major impact on the defensive end by using her length to control the paint and alter shots with multiple blocks. Offensively, she showed a smooth midrange jumper, consistently crashed the offensive glass, and rebounded with intensity. She also did a nice job spacing the floor and finding gaps in the defense which allowed her to stay involved and productive without forcing the action.     Maliyah is a tough lefty who consistently put pressure on opponents with her motor and competitive nature. She's a strong finisher, especially when getting to the left side of the rim, and she showed good command of the game with the ball in her hands. With solid handles, she was able to control the offense, penetrate the defense, and make strong passes after attacking the middle and finding her open teammates.     Amirah is a tough, shifty point guard who consistently kept pressure on the opposing team. She can knock down the outside shot, does a good job pushing the pace, and makes smart decisions as a passer. Her motor stands out, and she showed craft in the lane with a nice floater. One of her best sequences came in transition where she got to two feet, used a shot fake to send two defenders flying, and finished for an easy bucket.     McKenzie brings a big, strong frame and plays with physicality around the basket. She did a nice job getting to two feet and finishing with power, and her midrange jumper is tough to contest thanks to a high release. She also impacted the game defensively by blocking shots and rebounding hard, and showed touch and footwork with a nice spin move in the paint. An underrated part of her game is her passing and how she can get downhill then find her teammates for better looks.     Asiah brings a versatile skill set and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways. She can bring the ball up the floor, uses her length and strong frame to finish in traffic and in transition, and showed confidence knocking down the outside shot. Defensively, she's active in jumping passing lanes and turns those steals into quick offense and easy opportunities for her team.
