AAAA Preseason All State Selections

The AAAA classification in Georgia was very difficult to narrow down the field of players to the final ten. If you are on this list, then you absolutely earned your spot. These players and this list are actually a very good representation of the state's girls' current and historical trend of producing high-level players in college. These players and their respective high school teams seem destined for great matchups during the state tournament in February and for some, March. Several of these players have received multiple division one offers, multiple players are ranked in the top 100 for their classes nationally, and a few will be playing at the best women's basketball programs in the nation. Whatever level these kids play on in college, each should be a meaningful contributor. It is almost a certainty as well that one or more of these players will be a state champion in March.    Morghan has been a household name and ranked in the top ten nationally for around two years now. Coming off of a disappointing end to her sophomore season, the dynamic point guard has a chip on her shoulder and something to prove. There is not a better ball handler in Georgia and perhaps the nation who has the natural speed and explosiveness that Reckley possesses. She does things on the basketball court that almost every other player not only could not execute, but probably don't have the confidence to attempt. I have not seen anyone stay in front of her when she has the basketball since I started watching her play a few years ago. More than one of the top coaches in the country view Morghan as a generational talent and have made her a top priority in recruiting. The list of Power Four schools that have offered her are a mile long, but include South Carolina, who she visited in March, LSU (visited last December), Maryland (visited last October), as well as Texas, UNC, and Cincinnati (visited all in July of '25).     Avila, whose national rise and recognition seemingly came in the blink of eye, has had a similar start to her career as Reckley. So, it was no surprise when she and her family decided to leave Hebron and join Reckley with the sudden departure of coach Jan Azar. Jordyn's stock was on the rise heading into the Summer so I was not shocked to see her start accumulating major offers in quick succession the last few months. She is a dynamic scoring guard who plays with the maturity and skill of a player much older and the skill set that has her on track to be ranked nationally in the top 10 players in her class. Jordyn is a three-level scorer already and she will only continue to sharpen her skills the next four years. Her current offers include: Georgia Tech, George Mason, Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Cincinnati, Texas A&M, Providence, Clemson, and Florida State.     DD is a six-foot-tall, 4-star wing who is ranked number 40 nationally in her class by SC Next. Mitchell transferred in from Centennial High School in Nevada, a team that was ranked #13 nationally preseason last year. She was selected for, and participated in, the 2025 U16 USA National team trials and instantly makes Sandy Creek, along with [player_tooltip player_id='1821564' first='Jordyn' last='Avila'] and [player_tooltip player_id='899789' first='Morghan' last='Reckley'], the unquestioned favorite to win the AAAA state title. She is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams because of her ability to score at all three levels. I was most impressed in Ohio at Select Events and June with Sandy Creek with the back to the basket and face up game DD showed scoring and the ease at which she made it look. Her best and most impactful position the next two years is the stretch four position where Mitchell can utilize her natural gifts and scoring ability around the rim, but also drag out bigger, slower defenders into deep water on the perimeter.     If KJ stays healthy, then she will almost certainly eclipse the 3,000 point scoring mark for her career in her final season at Monroe. A season ago, Acree averaged over 30 points per game and came very close to eclipsing 1,000 points for the season. Her career average is 28.6 points per game over the first three years. She is not just a scorer however, Acree has also accumulated over 1,000 rebounds and over 500 assists. She recently chose Texas A&M over Georgia Tech, Virginia, Missouri, Arizona State, and Rutgers. If anyone can take down Sandy Creek, my guess would be Monroe is the most likely with Acree , Taylor McInzy who also made this list, and emerging 2029 [player_tooltip player_id='1785915' first='Maleyah' last='Hines']. It would be the storybook ending on an outstanding prep career if she and the Lady Nadoes can finish at the top of the mountain like Kate Harpring and Marist did a year ago.     David had quite an unimpressive freshman campaign scoring 727 points while breaking the school record for a season and keeping her Oconee County team ranked in the top 5 in the state all season long. Her excellent play was rewarded as Ella was selected 1st Team All-State AAA, as well as being named 3AAA Player of the Year. She has really good size and can play multiple positions when necessary for Oconee, but is at her best with the basketball in her hands. She is a natural playmaker who sees the double team coming and picks the right pass more times than not. College coaches from Morehead State and Jacksonville State liked what they saw from David this summer and both extended scholarship offers to the talented sophomore. I expect more of the same from Ella and Oconee County this season as she continues to grow and improve. She and her team will be on the big stage in front of a lot of college coaches at the Insider Exposure Cherokee Invitational. If Ella has a good showing there, then I expect the offer list to grow before the new year.     Heritage shocked the state by knocking off Sandy Creek in overtime in the AAAA state championship game a year ago. Collins led her team with 17 points and was a huge reason Heritage pulled the upset. Her coach and more than a handful of players graduated leaving Paisley with a huge load to shoulder in her junior season. After watching her compete and standout all Summer with Tennessee United and then at the Prep Girls Hoops Expo, where she was unquestionably one of the best 2-3 post players, I have no doubt she will prove to be one of the best players in AAAA in Georgia. Looking at the schedule the toughest test will come in the region with two games against Northwest Whitfield and a big-time matchup with their talented '28 post [player_tooltip player_id='1838751' first='Veyda' last='Jones']. I may have to make the trek up to Northwest Georgia to watch those two go head to head. Paisley has an offer from Shorter and the interests of several other colleges in the Southeast. She is more than capable of averaging 20 points and over 10 rebounds per game. If she does that, then her offer list will almost certainly grow.     I have seen consistent and noticeable growth from Naima offensively the last two seasons for Luella. She is a big, strong athlete who is not afraid of contact, often initiating it before scoring and also blocking out for rebounds. Her touch has steadily improved and now she is a consistent, reliable finisher from inside the painted area. Defensively, Foster has always shown good timing by anticipating and then blocking shots. She finished her junior season averaging 12 points and over ten rebounds a game while recording a very impressive 5.1 steals per game. Competing against the best competition from the Southeast region in Insider Exposure showcase events during the last two seasons, Naima has more than held her own on the big stage. She can be a monster on the offensive boards at times and very quick putting the ball back up. Naima currently holds offers from UT-Arlington and Lafayette. That list will grow before the season is completed for Luella.     Bull is a player I have seen in passing over the last few years mostly at AAU tournaments, but a little bit with Chestatee as well. Her sophomore season Bull averaged an eye-opening 24.5 points per game while also collecting 13 rebounds per game and dishing out 4.5 assists. In just 48 games played in her high school career, Bull is averaging over 16.6 per game having scored 800 points total. Unfortunately for the junior shotmaker, injuries have taken important time from her on the court including having to sit out the entire past offseason. She is a strong kid physically and I would think mentally as well. I predict that she will bounce back with the same type of numbers and get the recognition she deserves while doing it as a junior.     Clark has racked up the accolades and awards through a very impressive three-year, multi-sport career at Baldwin, including winning Player of the Year a season ago on the hardwood after averaging 16 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. For her career, Clark already has well over 500 rebounds and should break the 1,000-point scoring mark sometime before the new year. The Bralettes will be looking to make another deep run in the state tournament this season and Clark should give the interior presence once again to do so. Clark is an exceptional athlete with great size and her quickness and leaping ability should allow her to dominate the painted area against their opponents. Clark had an impressive career on the diamond playing softball at Baldwin as well. Suri finished with a career batting average of .425 while also being a standout pitcher. She committed to Alabama A&M on September 20th.     The past four years Taylor has quietly done an excellent job playing Robin to KJ Acree's Batman for Monroe. She has been a reliable sidekick and consistent backcourt mate for the Monroe superstar while also putting together an outstanding high school career of her own. Through three seasons McKinzy has cumulative totals and season averages that most high school players would love to have on their resume. Taylor enters her senior season having scored a total of 1416 points over the course of 92 games which comes to an average of around 15.5 points for her career to go with nearly 500 rebound as a shooting guard. McKinzy is an elite shooter from long range who also punishes defenses with outstanding slashing ability. She is a very legitimate player and college prospect in her own right and a tremendous student in the classroom. Whatever destination she chooses to continue her academic and athletic career will be better for having her there.

The AAAA classification in Georgia was very difficult to narrow down the field of players to the final ten. If you are on this list, then you absolutely earned your spot. These players and this list are actually a very good representation of the state's girls' current and historical trend of producing high-level players in college.
