Emily Clevidence | Wisconsin Impact | 2022
The first thing that stood out to me watching Clevidence compete was the confidence she has behind her floater. A consistent floater! She’s a smooth guard. She showed super impressive handles with the ball each time she was on the floor. She utilizes the crossover before finding her shot or dishing to her open teammate.
Bentley Drout | Wisconsin Legends | 2025
Drout displayed some very impressive lead guard skills this summer with Legends. She’s crazy quick with a first step that shakes the defender. She can finish against height and contact but has an impressive eye for the open man. Her stock is rising as she heads to Kimberly where I’m certain she’ll be looked for to be a key defender and facilitator.

Monona Grove | 2022

WI
| Let It Rain | 2022
Poole has improved her game each time I have watched her compete. She’s clearly very athletic which helps her high motor and ability to be impactful on both ends. She gets open very well and can knock down the long-range shot with consistency. She was extremely impressive finding her shot in the mid-range too.
Taylor Stremlow Taylor Stremlow 5'8" | PG Verona | 2024 State WI | Wisconsin Flight | 2024
Stremlow is a bucket! After watching her lead her team as a freshman at Verona, it was clear how dominant she would be by the grassroots season. She’s a floor general who makes the right play. She can find her teammates open on a dime. She’s crafty attacking the rim and has a bag full of finishes. She has picked up over five division one offers this summer.
Mya Hartjes Mya Hartjes 5'6" | PG University School | 2023 State WI | Wisconsin Impact | 2023
A true workhorse on and off the court, Hartjes plays with A LOT of heart. Watching her this summer put up huge numbers as one of the smallest players on the court each game was big time. She pushes the offense, controls the tempo, and needs little to no time to get her shot off. She was making elite hustle plays on both ends of the floor for her team.
Hailee Bauer | Wisconsin Blizzard | 2025
A super versatile guard that played with a lot of confidence on the floor. She has the right moves to find her shot on the perimeter and is extremely solid when attacking the rim. She was a spark for this team defensively, she’s scrappy yet strong and not many opponents could get by her.
Beautiful Waheed Beautiful Waheed 5'9" | CG Milwaukee Academy of Science | 2023 State WI | Wisconsin PGC | 2023
Waheed is a player that will consistently put up huge numbers. She is ultra-smooth with an extremely high basketball IQ. She can score effortlessly with the ball. She’s springy and crafty, her handles are tight and she’s able to create with little spacing. She gets her shot off super quick and despite appearing small she finishes with strength at the rim.
Ashley Weir | Wisconsin Black Hawks | 2022
A do-it-all guard who is making a name for herself after an impressive summer. She’s an all-around athlete who shows a lot of competitiveness on the floor. She passes well, is a smart rebounder, and finds her shot within the offense. She was consistently the leading scorer for her team this summer and will be the g0-to guard at Grafton this fall.
Georgia Acompanado | Wisconsin Shooters | 2025
Another player who is a hustler! Acompanado is a higher motor guard who has impressive length and the ability to stretch the floor. She pushed the ball in transition and was often finishing coast-to-coast for her team. She’s able to guard nearly every position right now which will help her all-around game and create a higher ceiling for herself! A fun one to watch, Acompanado leaves it all on the floor.
