MBA Mother's Day Classic: Agent Zero Nothing But Net

The MBA Mother's Day Classic featured a variety of exciting matchups and prospects from various clubs across the state. Here are six players flying under the radar who caught my attention during the tournament.    Madison was turning some heads at the MBA Mother's Day Classic with [program_tooltip program_id='713240' first='Strictly' last='Skills'] 17U. Her length, mobility, physicality, and two-way impact stood out. Madison used her length to deflect a pass and took the ball straight to the rim for two points. She crashed the glass hard and battled inside to score offensive rebound putbacks. Madison has good hands in the paint and protects the basket as a shot blocker. She's a prospect who made a big splash over the weekend.     Cady is a wing prospect with length, an athletic frame, and versatility that translates to the next level. She moves well to stop drives, disrupts passing lanes, rebounds, and provides a perimeter threat to the offense. Cady knocked down a confident corner three and added a long jumper. She made a great first impression with [program_tooltip program_id='713240' first='Strictly' last='Skills'] 17U at the MBA Mother's Day Classic.     Andey has a smooth stroke from beyond the arc, and she was ripping the nets during the MBA Mother's Day Classic for CCE 17U. Andey has the skills, length, and physicality necessary to be a factor inside or on the perimeter. She has pinpoint accuracy, and her long frame makes it difficult for defenders to take away outside looks. Andey drained five threes during the games I watched, hitting from up top, the slot, the wing, and in the corner. She converted a tough, off-platform finish in traffic and looked confident with the ball in her hands.     Well, let's just say the secret is out about this point guard from Kalamazoo Central. Using no hyperbolic speech, Yazmyne could not miss at the MBA Mother's Day Classic. She drained a smooth triple off the bounce and added three more triples up top during the game I watched. Yazmyne cut backdoor for a bucket, crossed over a defender to score a contested layup, and finished in traffic. She caught a pass in transition, took the ball towards the basket in top gear, and went straight at the defender for a fearless finish. Yazmyne has an accurate perimeter jumper, drives hard through contact to finish in the paint, creates space off the dribble, and knocks down free throws. She's a talented prospect from the [program_tooltip program_id='713240' first='Strictly' last='Skills'] 17U program.     Ja' Miyah is an athletic and determined forward prospect to follow on the Ladies First 17U squad. She was very impactful at the MBA Mother's Day Classic. Ja' Miyah stepped outside to bury a wing three, sprinted in to secure rebounds, grabbed an offensive board, then took one dribble to sink a pull-up jumper. Her active hands and quick feet generated steals on the defensive end. She has the speed to play on the perimeter and the physicality to defend the post. Ja' Miyah continues to make a great impression with her consistent hustle and presence on both ends of the floor.     Ellie was a newcomer who caught my attention at the MBA Mother's Day Classic with MBA UA Rise 16U. Her strong frame, fundamental skill set, and versatility to play inside/outside created a matchup problem for the opponent. Ellie caught a pass up top, used a strong rip move, and went right by the defender for a layup. She communicated actively on the defensive end and found open space on the perimeter to bury a smooth corner three.
