Millsaps Prospect Camp: New Names, Big-Time Potential

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Millsaps Women's Basketball Prospect Camp gave players a chance to introduce their game to new eyes! For some, it was an opportunity to build on growing attention. For others, it was a chance to show why their name belongs in the conversation. That's what this feature is about—prospects with abilities worth watching and room to become even better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The camp took place September 20, 2026, from 1–4 p.m. at the Hanger Dome at Millsaps College. Led by head coach Jeff Wilbur, the event welcomed girls in grades 10–12 to learn, compete, and showcase their game in a college setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As Coach Lathan, I'm interested in the details that show a player's potential. A scorer who recognizes the open teammate. A post who finishes a defensive possession with a rebound. A guard who stays composed when the pressure picks up. Those actions help me understand how a prospect can contribute to a program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Potential also means having something to build around. You might have a dependable jumper, a feel for passing, or the ability to make opponents work inside. The challenge is developing those strengths while improving the parts of your game that need attention. Every camp should give you something to take back to the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1273780' first='Maggy' last='Mitchell'] made her opportunity count, earning an offer from Coach Wilbur after her performance. That is a meaningful step in her basketball journey and a reason to keep building.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group includes young frontcourt prospects, developing guards, and familiar players whose growth remains worth following. Every evaluation has its own story, and I want the spotlight to stay on what each player brings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep preparing for that next opportunity! Take instruction, trust the work, and compete with purpose. A new name today could become a player coaches know well tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Follow Coach Lathan on Instagram and X @coachlathan for player evaluations, camp coverage, and basketball updates.

She brings strength around the basket, works for rebounding position, and can turn second chances into points. Her game also includes a midrange touch, giving her an option beyond finishing inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What I appreciate is how those skills can help a team possession after possession. Protect the paint, secure the rebound, and make the defense work on the other end. Her communication is another part of her game worth building on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For our Millsaps “New Names, Big-Time Potential” spotlight, Ryleight is a young prospect I want to keep following. As she sharpens her footwork and becomes more decisive with the ball, there's room for her impact to grow. Keep working, Ryleight—there's a strong foundation here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221059"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acfef457883d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1221059' first='Nyla' last='Carter'] gives me a reason to watch the glass! She has shown she can contribute around the basket and collect rebounds, including offensive boards that give her team another opportunity to score. Those possessions matter, and that's a foundation I value in a young post player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For our Millsaps “New Names, Big-Time Potential” spotlight, Nyla is a prospect worth following. What interests me is how much she can build from that rebounding ability. Keep improving your positioning, secure the ball, and become more decisive with the finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She doesn't need every possession drawn up for her to find a way to contribute. Keep developing that game, Nyla—there's value in a player who can help finish one possession and create another!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227545"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acfef457888c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emmie Walker has an offensive game worth paying attention to! She has shown she can score inside and out, with a quick release that gives defenders less time to recover. That combination is something I like in a young guard—make them respect the jumper and give yourself more options to work with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For our Millsaps “New Names, Big-Time Potential” spotlight, Emmie brings scoring ability she can keep building around. What interests me next is how she uses that threat to create advantages and recognize opportunities for her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As her reads and consistency develop, she can become tougher to defend. Keep getting those reps, stay ready for your looks, and trust your preparation, Emmie. There's plenty of potential here to keep coaches watching!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1350362"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acfef45788d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1350362' first='Sariah' last='Shannon'] is a player I've watched and written about for years, and she keeps giving me reasons to talk about her! Her grit and toughness always stand out. When Sariah steps on the floor, she brings a competitive edge that I appreciate as a coach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's what keeps me interested in her development. Skills matter, but so does the willingness to compete, and Sariah continues to impress me with that part of her game. She's a familiar name in my coverage, and she deserves attention in this Millsaps prospect spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For me, “Big-Time Potential” includes players who keep building while holding on to what makes them competitors. Sariah has that foundation. Keep sharpening your game and bringing that toughness, Sariah—I'm looking forward to watching your next step!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1273780"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acfef4578916"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1273780' first='Maggy' last='Mitchell'] made her Millsaps camp opportunity count! Her performance earned an offer from head coach Jeff Wilbur, giving her a reason to celebrate and another step toward playing at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What I like about Maggy is the foundation she brings defensively. She has shown she can challenge shots around the basket and collect rebounds, giving her ways to impact possessions without needing the offense built around her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's why she fits our “New Names, Big-Time Potential” spotlight. She put her game in front of the staff and came away with an opportunity to continue her basketball career. Keep developing those finishes, trusting your game, and building on this moment, Maggy.
