2026 Spring Live Period: Brooks' Notebook

These are some of my live notes this weekend while watching prospects compete for different programs all across the Country.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!   KeaOnna Worley - 2027 - Missouri Phenom 17U Iowa   "Worley was solid in her first showing this weekend. She made effort plays throughout and did a great job at leading by example coming down the court. This is a D1 committed prospect so none of this comes to us as a surprise. Over-time her scoring ability on offense has become more and more efficient. From there, she has capitalized in a big way over the past years. If this 17U team is going to win a lot of games this season, Worley is going to have to carry at times and she is well aware of that. She plays with a chip on her shoulder mentality so I'm not worried about that in the slightest."   Alisa Pins - 2027 - Lady Pure Prep 17U   "There was swift movement and great decision making this weekend out of Alisa Pins of Lady Pure Prep AAU. Pins is competed on a team with several future collegiate players so that she stood out as one of their most consistent this weekend is noteworthy. One of Pins best abilities over the last few days was her defense. She stood her ground in all situations, she created a bunch of forced TO's, and she wasn't afraid to leave it all on the floor with a dive into the stands or on the floor when those opportunities presented themselves. If Pins can continue this effort level and production as a "glue" player, she is going to love her last year on the travel scene over the next couple of months."   Vivian Cook - 2027 - Iowa Hoop Dreams 17U   "Something that is obvious about Cook's game is that she would be considered as a three point specialist. When she is feeling it off the catch from deep, it doesn't take much to get her going. When she had really convincing performances these last few times, her shot has been falling at a high rate and that not to say that she can run the PG spot or anything like this. They're just happeneds to be a correlation between those two things a majority of the time that I've watched in recent history. I except Cook to have a successful Spring and Summer season on the road to finish things off. If she keeps hitting shots a high rate and builds off of that, this team is going to have some PIECES."   Callie Hales - 2027 - Lady Pure Prep 17U   "Hales keeps getting better and better every time we see her perform in meaningful contests. I'm not sure why that is but this is not a common occurrence. At least not at this pace. Her duffle keeps getting deeper and her decision making is becoming more efficient by the second it seems. This weekend Hales had it on lock. She made plays as a scoring threat from all levels, she created for others with her combination of speed and pace of play, all while defending like a DAWG on that side of the rock. I had some questions but after watching Hales over the last few days, she is going to be at least a D2 lock at the PG spot. Her decision making and execution is truly next level right now and it might only get better with time."   MaKenna Roeder - 2028 - All Iowa Attack 10th EYCL   "One of the best things about Roeder is simply HOW she plays the game of Basketball. She cuts off the ball, creating opportunities for herself in the boatload. She can and will finish through contact. She isn't afraid to run in to box out and rebound on each possession, no matter if it's offense or defense. She has a solid handle of the rock and she plays pretty strategically whenever she can. Roeder has had a great start to this AAU season. She is making the right plays down the floor and converting on both of her attempts. Two things you have to love if you are coaching her squad."   Tenley Levin - 2029 - Missouri Phaeton 15U EYBL   "It is not surprising to anyone out of Iowa that Tenley Levin is killing it on the Nike EYBL Circuit to kick off her AAU campaign for her high school year's. When you look at her age group, she size and ability is head and shoulders above most others. She was a double-double machine during the High School level at the 3A level last Winter and she has seemingly picked off right where she left off with more of that over this past weekend. If you look at the updated stats for the EYBL from the pervious few days then you'll see Levin's name near the top for the 15U division while almost averaging a double-double thus far."
