Saturday afternoon marked the annual Prep Girls Hoops Indiana Sophomore ID Camp. For me, it was a great way to see many of the state's 2029s in one location, especially with them having traveled all over the Midwest/country during the Grassroots season. Below is a quick look at everyone who participated on Teams 5 & 6.   .   TEAM #5:   #230 - [player_tooltip player_id='1268694' first='Victoria' last='Shotts'], 5-6 CG, Perry Meridian H.S. - Victoria was a new name to me, but she had a solid day. She plays with speed and quickness, and she has really nice length to her frame. She can handle it a little and create/initiate the offense, but she's also comfortable playing off the ball and making open shots.   #231 - [player_tooltip player_id='1264569' first='Maddie' last='Burnett'], 5-7 SG, Triton Central H.S. - Maddie is a nice all-around athlete, and she does a good job of playing low and quick. She has a really nice motor, and she's typically looking to attack the basket on each catch, though she can knock down an open jumper when set and in rhythm.   #236 - [player_tooltip player_id='1810643' first='Madilyn' last='Aumsbaugh'], 5-8 SG/SF, Lakeland H.S. - I first saw Madilyn back in March and thought she had a lot of upside. She has length, a wiry-strong frame, and she's a fluid athlete with a little bounce to her. She can handle it a little, she can score it from all three levels, and she's an effective defender.   #242 - [player_tooltip player_id='1263945' first='Kristina' last='Hollowell'], 5-10 PF/SF, Lawrence Central H.S. - Kristina has always been a nice, long athlete with the ability to run the floor and go up and grab rebounds...she continued to show those talents Saturday. She has gotten noticeably stronger and was a force inside most of the day, but she has mid-post skill, too.   #249 - [player_tooltip player_id='1892084' first='Brynnley' last='DeVries'], 5-6 CG, Unity Christian H.S. (MI) - Brynnley was a late addition to the event, but she did a nice job when I saw her in the 5-on-5 action. She has a fairly strong frame at her height, and she plays low and compact, protecting the ball. She also has a little burst, and she can make an open jumper.   #262 - [player_tooltip player_id='1229461' first='Jules' last='Leffers'], 5-8 SG, Whitko H.S. - The difference between Jules from last year to this is her strength and her confidence. She looks much more aggressive, she's absorbing contact better, and she's finishing plays more consistently. She's a balanced athlete, and she has a nice all-around skillset.   #266 - [player_tooltip player_id='1263936' first='Sophie' last='Buening'], 5-9 SG, Greensburg H.S. - Sophie is a strong, aggressive guard who is a natural scorer. She likes to attack the basket until she's stopped, she can knock down open shots outside, and she will rebound and defend. The next step for her is to become more efficient with her shot selection.   #272 - [player_tooltip player_id='1807594' first='Addilyn' last='Tarr'], 5-11 PF/SF, Martinsville H.S. - Addilyn is a long, wiry-strong, fluidly athletic prospect with some bounce to her. She works hard and makes hustle plays, but she also has solid skill at all three levels offensively. She's most comfortable in the mid-post, but I could see her becoming a wing.   #277 - [player_tooltip player_id='1363316' first='Camille' last='Hurt'], 5-5 CG, Lawrence North H.S. - This was my first time seeing Camille, and she is an intriguing guard prospect. She plays low and compact, she's strong at her height, and she delivers more contact than she absorbs. She has a nice burst, solid ball skill, and the ability to make shots.   .   TEAM #6:   #224 - [player_tooltip player_id='1266487' first='Maria' last='Williams'], 5-4 CG, Carmel H.S. - Maria is a long, wiry combo guard who can play on or off the ball. She works hard, moves well without the ball, and she likes to find corner jumpers. At the same time, she can create off the bounce and use her quickness, plus she's solid defensively.   #225 - [player_tooltip player_id='1827720' first='Azaria' last='Easley'], 5-5 PG, South Knox H.S. - Ever since I saw Azaria in July, I have been a fan. She is extremely quick and shifty, she has the ball on a string, and she does a great job of getting defenders off-balance, plus she can knock down the perimeter jumper. She's also a very good defender.   #232 - [player_tooltip player_id='896936' first='Lania' last='Jackson'], 5-7 SG, Pike H.S. - Pike has a lot of backcourt talent right now, and Lania is just one example. She is a power guard who does a nice job of getting low and protecting the ball on attack. She can finish through contact, and she's improving as a shooter. She also defends and rebounds.   #252 - [player_tooltip player_id='1919973' first='Brooklyn' last='Sharpe'], 5-6 SG/SF, Brownsburg H.S. - Brooklyn was another late addition to the event, but she was solid throughout the entire day. She has a strong frame, really nice length, and she is a nice North/South athlete. She's looking to attack on the catch, and she can power her way to the basket.   #258 - [player_tooltip player_id='1309010' first='Eva' last='Walker'], 5-7 SG, LaPorte H.S. - Eva was a welcome addition to the Slicer lineup last year, because she added the ability to score, create, and defend, plus the versatility to play multiple positions. I think she's a scorer by nature, but she's a strong kid who can play some PG as well.   #264 - [player_tooltip player_id='1875115' first='Cerinity' last='Johnson'], 5-8 SG/SF, Pike H.S. - "C.J." is another one of those power wings who plays with versatility. She's difficult to define by position, because she can handle it a little, she can attack to score, she can make open shots, and she can defend inside and rebound. She's just well-rounded.   #267 - [player_tooltip player_id='1231784' first='Zaya' last='Price'], 5-9 SF, Brandywine H.S. (MI) - Zaya came down from lower Michigan to participate Saturday, and she was good throughout the day. She has nice length, a fluid athleticism to her, and she's somewhat bouncy as well. She showed touch outside, she sliced to the basket, and she defended.   #273 - [player_tooltip player_id='1219784' first='Morgan' last='Croff'], 5-11 PF/SF, Hebron H.S. - Morgan is a nice prospect who transferred in from nearby Kouts. She has great length, some wiry strength, and she's another bouncy athlete who moves well in most directions. She was very active inside the arc, but she also looked comfortable outside.
