Live at the Lakes: Players who took it up a notch

The gym at Kennedy High School in Bloomington was buzzing with college coaches from every level all weekend long. With it being the first major live period event of the summer, this was a great opportunity for Division 1 coaches to check out some of the top talent Minnesota has to offer. We spent the weekend looking for fresh faces, as well as those who have raised their game in recent months. Here is our breakdown of five stock risers from this year's Live at the Lakes event.    [player_tooltip player_id='939749' first='Nadia' last='Adedokun'] – 2028 Forward, Moorhead   The improvement we are seeing in this [program_tooltip program_id='713021' first='West' last='Central United'] forward's game this summer is palpable. At over 6 feet tall with tons of bounce, a lanky frame, and natural athletic quickness, it felt obvious to us last fall that Adedokun (pictured above) deserved a spot in the top 50. Less than a year later, she is showing exactly why. Nadia's game has grown in all areas, from her defense and rebounding abilities, to her confidence and aggressiveness on the floor. On Sunday morning against IGB 15U UAA of Indiana, the Moorhead freshman took over the final minutes of the game, scoring a couple of outstanding buckets inside the lane to seal the win. Nadia is one prospect that college coaches ought to keep an eye on in the next couple years.    [player_tooltip player_id='630243' first='Arshia' last='Ramlall'] – 2027 Guard, Rosemount   At this point it should come as no surprise that a player with the last name Ramlall was dropping three-point bombs over the weekend. This time it was Arshia of [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2027 S40. When we watched her play on Saturday afternoon, the 5-foot-7 guard was shooting lights out from deep, but was aggressive in her drives to the basket, as well. She wasn't afraid to take a little contact on the way to the rim either. Ramlall's abilities were showing on the defensive end, as well. The Rosemount sophomore finished Saturday's contest with numerous steals from reading the passing lanes, as well as a beautiful block in transition. Earlier this month Arshia picked up a Division 3 offer from St. Olaf College.   [player_tooltip player_id='764197' first='Hailey' last='Sicard'] – 2027 Guard, East Ridge   Ramlall wasn't the only one on the [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2027 S40 roster who was making it rain over the weekend. The East Ridge sophomore pout up major numbers, scoring 61 points over the course of four games. The 5'8 guard gave a truly remarkable performance on Saturday evening, dropping 33 points against Team Wisconsin, with 22 of those points coming in the first half alone. For those who don't know, those kinds of numbers are seldom heard of in AAU ball because of the shorter duration of games and the style of play. In addition to her offensive prowess, Hailey showed off her motor and willingness to fight for every possession at Live at the Lakes. Sicard is a top 75 prospect in Minnesota's class of 2027.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/AmyraMahik.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1248470" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='902567' first='Amyra' last='Mahik'] – 2028 Guard, Pipestone   While we don't get the chance to see the Sanford Sports guard (pictured above) in person all that often, Live at the Lakes gave us the chance to catch up with the Pipestone star. When we watched her on Saturday, Mahik excelled on the defensive end. With light feet and quickness Amyra (pronounced uh-meer-uh) is able to stay ahead of whoever she's guarding. Her court vision on defense is also excellent. With her head constantly on a swivel, the 5'5 freshman is able to anticipate passes and easily intercept them, leading to transition opportunities Mahik has improved in her ability to play with pace and change speeds, allowing her to dictate the game more easily. We saw plenty of her usual tenacity and motor on Saturday, as well.    [player_tooltip player_id='1057125' first='Macie' last='Henrikson'] – 2029 Guard, Farmington   With a few more months left until we release the first rankings for the class of 2029, the AAU season is where we really start to see who fits where. The [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2029 S40 guard made a big impression on our scouts, plus a few college coaches, once again at Live at the Lakes. All weekend long Macie exhibited her high basketball IQ, whether through her excellent offensive reads or her tremendous shot selection. Many coaches at the highest level will say look for a great shot, not a good shot – that is exactly what the 8th grader does. And thanks to her IQ, plus her textbook shooting form and outstanding body control, it feels like Henrikson hardly ever misses. She will certainly find her way into the freshman top 50 this fall.
