PGH MI College Tour III GVSU: Stock Risers

Our third stop of the PGH Michigan College Tour was a mic drop. The quality and variety of clubs, talent, hosting facility, amount of college coaches on site, and format were exactly what we've all wanted to see for years. We've been waiting for a tournament that felt like a Michigan AAU State Championship was on the line, and that's exactly how this felt. At the home of back-to-back D2 national champions, Grand Valley State University, our staff emptied the tank to provide the best possible experience and live coverage we could. The positive feedback from college coaches, parents, and AAU coaches was overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who supported this and made an unforgettable weekend possible! Here are ten prospects who raised their stock with a phenomenal showing over the weekend.    Maya put on a show with 1 Nation Elite 17U at the PGH MI College Tour III. With her length, accuracy from three, shifty handles, defensive effort/IQ, and crafty finishing abilities around the rim, she's a prospect who pops out on the court. She changed lanes with a quick crossover and put the pedal down to score a drive-by bucket. Maya went by again for a layup off the dribble, moved her feet quickly, and stripped the ball away for a steal. She sprinted in to grab an offensive rebound and finished with her left off two feet. Maya can shoot, excel in multiple roles, and once again stood out in front of our scouts against high-caliber competition.     Kamara has length, athleticism, a high motor, and skill that immediately stands out when she steps onto the court. She showed her confidence on the perimeter, draining threes from the corner and wing. Kamara sprinted back in transition to intercept a pass, was active in the passing lanes, and moved her feet at maximum effort to stop dribble penetration. She handled the ball comfortably with both hands and distributed passes into the post for assists. Kamara was an impact player for [program_tooltip program_id='712670' first='Michigan' last='Storm Elite'] 15U at the PGH MI College Tour III.     Elly had a weekend to remember for [program_tooltip program_id='712670' first='Michigan' last='Storm Elite'] 17U at the PGH MI College Tour III. Here are some notes from the games: corner three, mid-range jumper, deep straightaway three, pinpoint accuracy, speedy finish in transition, deep wing three from the college line, controlled ball-handler, wing three, inside hand finish, and-one, and crisp kickout passes. Ella was a dynamic and exciting prospect to watch. Her standout weekend and team success resulted in an All-Tournament First Team selection.     Naimah's explosive burst as a slasher, scrappy ball-pressure and lateral quickness, court vision, passing dexterity, and ability to finish with touch in the paint have caught our attention over the years, but it was her deadly accuracy as a perimeter shooter that came rolling through the PGH MI College Tour III like a title wave. It felt like she was shredding the nets from three every game. She attacked hard downhill for an and-one bucket, used a quick rip move to get by and drop in a floater, knocked down two corner threes, and added a shifty inside-out step back triple from the slot. Naimah created space to dish out an entry pass assist to a back cutter and put ball-handlers on the perimeter. I made a note of her great ball pressure; she drained a straightaway step back three after a shifty cross-jab move, two more threes from the wing and up top, and chased down rebounds. Naimah's performance over the weekend earned her an All-Tournament First Team selection and proved that she's a top-tier point guard prospect in the state. Big-time 2027 stock riser over the weekend.     Bradie delivered a knockout performance for [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] 17U-Cole in the Gold Championship Game. Her aggressiveness off the dribble, poised ball-handling, perimeter shooting, and heady defense helped the team compete. Bradie picked off a pass, switched hands in the open court, got to the second level, and dropped in a smooth floater off two feet. She dropped in two more floaters off middle drives and added one over a towering six-footer in the lane. Rondo rings sounds like a good nickname. Bradie pursued rebounds, drained a straightaway three with confidence, and was a complete difference-maker on the court.     Brynnly was a huge stock riser in the 2028 class at the PGH MI College Tour III. She played at the home court of the Lakers and made an enormous splash. Brynnly's defense, three-point shooting, and poise with the ball stole the show on Championship Sunday. She was electric in the Diamond Championship Game: corner three, bounce assist, three-pointer swish beyond the college line, on the floor for a 50/50 ball, backdoor cut finish through hard contact, block, corner three...that paints a decent picture. Brynnly sees the floor, has length, and plays well on both sides of the ball. She's an outstanding MBA UAA 16U prospect.     Sloane was impressive at SVSU Elite Camp last summer, and she popped out again at the PGH MI College Tour III. Her compact/muscular build, court vision, skills, and all-around game are advanced for her age. She looked off a defender on the perimeter, used a quick rip move, and drove by for a floater finish. She swiped the ball away on defense and pushed it up the floor with both hands. Sloane distributed passes effectively, made a split-second dump-off to a cutter for the assist, and generated steals on the defensive end. She helped [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] 15U Select reach the Diamond Championship Game and will be a prospect to follow.     Allie just does everything. She makes all the winning plays to help her team be successful and has an endless supply of energy on the court. In the Gold Championship Game, she was a deciding factor in the outcome for Mystics 17U S40. She drained a straightaway three up top and added another one from way downtown. Allie chased down rebounds and came sprinting in to snag offensive boards. She attacked off the dribble to cause fouls, eluded defenders with crafty/shifty ball-handling on her path to the rim, and was a difference-maker on defense. Allie helped her team come out on top.     Maria is an athletic point guard with a non-stop motor, gritty toughness, and checks the boxes of a highly talented next-level point guard. If there was a defensive MVP award, Maria was the unanimous choice in the 16U Diamond Championship Game. Her lateral quickness, ability to stop drives without using her hands, and off-ball awareness were on full display. Maria consistently created driving lanes with her dribble, attacked downhill with a burst, and finished tough layups in traffic. Maria scored a sweet spin finish in the lane, drove by for a bucket in transition, and attacked, then switched hands to her left on the go for another layup. Earlier in the weekend, she scored a smooth inside hand finish after a shifty crossover and timed up a block perfectly on a basket cut. High IQ two-way lead guard and major stock riser over the weekend.     Hadleigh turned in an All-Tournament First Team performance for [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] 15U Select at the PGH MI College Tournament III. Her physicality and skill in the post on both ends were a difference-maker for the team. She protected the rim as a shot-blocker, maneuvered/muscled her way into effective rebounding position, and corralled rebounds on both ends of the court. Hadleigh finished well off two feet, caught passes with good hands, and showed great vision/touch as a passer out of the high post. She's a prospect to follow closely in the [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] program.
