15U Standouts at the Northwood PGH MI College Tour

The PGH MI College Tour at Northwood University featured a variety of talent from many teams. Here are several prospects who stood out during 15U games over the weekend.    Michigan's top-ranked forward prospect in the 2029 class played like it against imposing physicality and length in the post. Taryn worked hard for inside positioning, scored many offensive rebound putbacks, made great adjustments to catch entry passes, and finished strong through contact. Taryn was a human flyswatter in the paint. She blocked many layup attempts and closed out hard on the perimeter for another swat. Taryn pinned defenders with her strong seals and finished contested layups effectively with her right and left hands off two feet. She forced defenders to put her on the foul line and converted free throws efficiently. Taryn was a huge difference maker for Mystics 15U P24 during the PGH MI College Tour at Northwood.     Makayla used her length and athleticism to block multiple shots on the defensive end for Mystics 15U P24 on Saturday. She spun in the paint to score a contested layup and stepped outside to hit a smooth wing three. Makayla was aggressive on the boards during the PGH MI College Tour at Northwood and is a tough matchup for opponents.     Elaina plays fast, is ultra-competitive, and shows no signs of timidity on the court. She had the ball on a string, was active on defense, chased down loose balls, and created multiple steals with her pesky pressure. Elaina jumped passes on the perimeter to create takeaways and pushed in transition to score breakaway layups. She accelerated off the dribble for a drive-by layup and cut backdoor for a bucket. Elaina drained a smooth corner three and was a productive two-way player for Mystics 15U P24 at the PGH MI College Tour.     Claire put on a defensive clinic for KIA Nurse EYBL 15U at the PGH MI College Tour. She used her length, quick lateral footwork, anticipation, high IQ, and muscular advantage to close driving lanes, deflect passes, and shut down guards on the perimeter. Claire created multiple steals with her pressure, pushed the ball comfortably with both hands up the court, facilitated, and picked off passes from the help side. She worked hard to secure rebounds on both ends and knocked down jumpers confidently in the mid-range.     Iva has length, athleticism, strength, fine-tuned fundamental skills, versatility to excel inside or outside, and a basketball IQ that puts her in a higher category on the court. She was outright dominant for KIA Nurse EYBL 15U at the PGH MI College Tour. Iva muscled her way to the doorstep, secured offensive rebounds, and scored strong putbacks in traffic. She finished well off two feet, landed under control with a jump stop, pivoted, and converted a tough turnaround jumper. Iva was deadly from three-point range, intercepted passes from the help side, and used perfect denial technique in the post to steal an entry pass. Iva penetrated off the dribble, switched hands in the lane, and scored a strong and one layup through contact. She completed the three-point play at the line. Iva buried a silky smooth pull-up jumper from the free throw line off a crossover and was impressive throughout the weekend.     Makayla is a freakishly athletic forward prospect who put her high-flying, high-level talent on full display during the PGH MI College Tour at Northwood. Her physical strength, athleticism, quickness, bulldog aggressiveness, and powerful long strides put her on another level. She took defensive rebounds coast to coast for explosive transition layups, pushed the ball with pace using both hands to beat everyone to the rim, and finished off two. She intercepted passes from the help side, muscled her way into position for many offensive rebound putbacks, and sealed off defenders to score in the paint. Makayla caught a pass inside, used a power dribble, spun, and scored a contested layup with her left off two. She made smart kickout passes to open shooters when the defense collapsed and is an elite prospect playing for the KIA Nurse 15U EYBL squad.     Chandler has a non-stop motor on the court. She makes plays to help the team succeed on both ends. Chandler moved her feet quickly to turn ball-handlers and cut off drives. She changed directions suddenly, using shifty crossover and between-the-leg combos, then drove by with a burst to earn trips to the foul line. Chandler used a pocket dribble, crossed over her defender, changed hands in the lane, and finished with her left in traffic. She's a speedy, compact point guard who can shoot from the perimeter, slash to the hoop, defend, and set up teammates. Chandler's shown clear progress over the past year, especially with her ball-handling. She had a great opening weekend for Mystics 15U S40 at the PGH MI College Tour.     Jordyn was a Top Performer for [program_tooltip program_id='715618' first='Become' last='One'] a year ago, and she had another solid showing for 15U at the PGH MI College Tour. She's long, athletic, and very shifty off the dribble. Jordyn drove by a defender with a burst for a bucket, crashed the glass to score a putback, and kept defenders on their heels with her quick crossovers.     Kaylee was a scrappy, skilled, and dynamic point guard for [program_tooltip program_id='715618' first='Become' last='One'] 15U. She froze her defender using a hesitation dribble, then shifted into high gear to score a drive-by layup. Kaylee chased down offensive rebounds and buried a smooth corner three. Her facilitating, poised ball-handling, and perimeter shooting stood out during the PGH MI College Tour.
