About Jazmyn
Expert Analysis
Brazley Barnes | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
A take it and make it player. She is a noticeably confident shooter with a solid handle for a bigger guard. She can score at all three levels and is part of a wave of young players who, if they stay together, should have Trinity competing now and in the future. Her skill level at her size makes it easy to see her fitting into multiple roles. Defensively she is competitive, but adding more consistency will elevate her impact even further. She carries herself with the assurance of an experienced scorer, and after this report she delivered another big shot to keep Trinity playing, further reinforcing her natural clutch gene.

There is no shortening of confidence for Jazmyn. She can absolutely light you up from the outside and has the aggression to get downhill if the defense attempts to take that away. She has length to her frame as well, which could be used heavily on the defensive side. The potential is growing.

Ratliff plays a little bigger than her size, due to her length. She does most of her damage from outside of the arc, but I’ve seen a handful of moments of her being able to get to the rim. Outside of the offensive ability, she does play with a strong amount of aggression that lets you know she’s all about winning. Looking forward to seeing how she stacks up against some other top talent in the state.

I got to see a couple of games in the beginning of spring of Ratliff, and you can see there is something there. She is coming back from a couple sidelining injuries, but the upside is clearly present. Looking forward to seeing how her skillset comes together.

Ratliff is playing off pure raw potential, but even that is at a higher level than some of the girls in her class. In the game that I caught of her, a lot of her scoring moments were near the rim, but she still showed the ability to knock down a corner three when left open. Strong upside.

Jazmyn has excellent length, able to rebound well and defend with her wingspan. Also has a really nice outside shot, good range from behind the arc. For an eighth grader, her skillset is not bad, she has some good fundamentals down but a summer of work will benefit her heading into high school. Plays with Chicago Hoops Express .
