Under the Radar: Big Opportunities after Strong June

The July live period has arrived, and with it comes one of the most important evaluation weekends of the summer. College coaches from across the country will be filling gyms in search of prospects who can impact their programs—not just the nationally recognized names, but also the players whose performances demand a closer look. This list shines a light on prospects who may not generate the loudest headlines yet, but whose skill, consistency, and potential have positioned them to capitalize on this opportunity. When preparation meets opportunity, careers can change in a single weekend. These are the players who have put themselves in a position to make that next step as the live period gets underway.    [player_tooltip player_id='743520' first='Kimora' last='Green'] is one of the most athletic combo guards on the circuit and continues to grind hard. Green has the ability to score at multiple levels on the court. When she scores the ball, it's her athleticism that stands out. The vertical, the speed, the physicality, and the ability to play through contact. On defense, Green earns the respect. She has good foot speed, can move in either direction with speed and agility, and she is fearless on the court. Green takes charge and puts her body on the line on every defensive possession. She rebounds well from the guard position. Green could make some noise this July, a moment she has always worked hard for.     [player_tooltip player_id='741336' first='Iliana' last='Dorvilus'] drew praise from several college coaches during the June live period with her toughness, leadership, and poise. She runs the offense like a true floor general, handling pressure well while keeping her teammates involved. Dorvilus can score from the perimeter, knock down the mid-range jumper, and is at her best attacking the rim. Defensively, she's an in-your-face competitor whose intensity and ball pressure set the tone on every possession. July could be a big month for Dorvilus. With college coaches already taking notice during the June live period, she'll have another opportunity to build on that momentum. If she continues to lead, defend, and attack the basket the way she has, expect her to make an even stronger statement.     [player_tooltip player_id='843385' first='Tasandra' last='Williams'] is another prospect who has positioned herself for the July live period after an impressive month of June. Williams is quick, handles the ball with confidence, and consistently gets to the rim where she finishes through traffic. Her left-handed jumper was on target at the Wildcat Shootout, further showcasing her ability to score at all three levels. What separates Williams is her speed and quickness on both ends of the floor. Defensively, she pressures ball handlers, creates steals, and turns defense into offense. She runs the floor extremely well, thrives in transition, and frequently converts those opportunities into points. With her combination of athleticism, scoring ability, and defensive intensity, Williams has all the tools to attract attention during this upcoming live period.     [player_tooltip player_id='1118790' first='Kamya' last='Leroy'] has shown the flashes of athleticism and skill that have positioned her well in the upcoming live period. Leroy can shoot thoot the ball from three point land, but is even better getting into the lane and finishing- often with flair. Leroy has the ability to handle the ball, especially in the offensive sets, and can go right or left. Leroy had a good showing in June, highlighted by an offer at the Wildcat Shootout. Leroy plays both ends of the floor and is a prospect that coaches will need to see.     [player_tooltip player_id='897274' first='Bryonna' last='Grimes'] has a chance to catch fire and garner some attention during the July live period with her shooting ability. A point guard's best friend, Grimes regained both her stroke and confidence in June, knocking down timely three-pointers in key moments. While her perimeter shooting is her calling card, Grimes can also handle the ball, run the point in stretches, pull up from the midrange, and score in transition. Make no mistake—Grimes is a three-point shooter who can shoot it with the best of them.     Torres could be one of the biggest sleepers this month with the skill set she brings to the floor. Torres is long, physical, and impacts the game on both sides of the ball. She has a nose for the ball and goes hard after it on offense and defense. Torres has a nice physical frame, and she uses it well on the offensive side of the ball. She can dish out the initial hit and play through physical contact. On defense, she can body up an opponent and compete with physicality, using her strength and positioning to disrupt rhythm and force tough looks. Torres is a very good rebounder, averaging 8.4 rebounds for her career. She is a sleeper with a major opportunity to make noise this July.
