Merchant is a pest of a defender with an exceptional IQ. Time after time, she jumps out on the passing lanes for steals to fast break finishes. Her matriculation at the University of Houston has been exciting to see as each year her confidence has improved and she's taken on more responsibility proving to be an impact player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kierra-merchant/" id="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kierra-merchant/">See Merchant's prep evaluations here.</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270663"],"_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-69c6f00fcdcb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anumele was a scoring phenome in high school, and continued the same abilities by scoring 308 points in her freshman year at St. Louis University. She spent the past season back in Texas at the University of Houston and is now in the portal looking for another home. Anumele is a stocky guard that blows by defenders on the wing when she catches a boost of lightning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["166646"],"_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-69c6f00fcdd41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5-8 sophomore averaged 7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 4 apg and 1.1 spg this season at Tulane University where she also was chosen as the American Athletic Conference 2025 Freshman of the Year. Sneed is a three level scorer, and PGH Simmie Colson noted of Sneed's instinctual play many years ago (<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kendall-sneed/" id="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kendall-sneed/">Read evaluations here</a>).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825294"],"_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-69c6f00fcddc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5-11 freshman guard averaged 10.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg and 1.6 spg this season for the the Houston Christian Huskies. McLaurin is a long guard that can get after it. Her strong senior campaign, led to just as strong of a freshman year on the D1 college level. The way she elevates on her midrange is surely going to make her an instant grab in the portal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kamryn-mclaurin/">Read her prep evalutions here.</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["403581"],"_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-69c6f00fcde45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5-10 sophomore averaged 11.4 ppg, 6.7 rpg and 1.6 spg this season. Booth is long and lengthy, and another three way scorer. She can stand the contact while going to the basket, and shows great decision making skills with timely kickouts to her teammates. Booth uses her size just as effectively on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
