Landry O’Brien Landry O’Brien 5'8" | SG Labette County | 2025 State KS , 5’8″, SG, Labette County – O’Brien is a transfer from Oklahoma Union. Her transition handles are good and can hit the three point in flow.
Lauren Kice Lauren Kice 5'10" | SF Kapaun Mt. Carmel | 2025 State KS , 5’10”, SF, Kapaun Mt. Carmel – I had the opportunity to see Kice at the MAYB summer kickoff in June. Long limbed with a slender build Kice showed good speed and catches well in transition.
Gracie Oard Gracie Oard 5'7" | SG Buhler | 2025 State KS , 5’7″, SG, Buhler – I saw Oard at Hutchinson Community College’s team camp in June. She is an aggressive player who jump shoots well and is a legitimate three point threat with a quick release.
Devoriah Brown Devoriah Brown 5'4" | PG Wichita Heights | 2025 State KS , 5’2″, PG, Wichita Heights – I saw Brown at the PGH Dynasty (KS) ‘ last=”]’ last=”]’ last=”] Circuit Wichita stop in July. At the Battle in the Sunflower I like her athleticism in finishing a scoop shot at speed and especially her passing. All event she made good entry passes from the wing and the top. My colleague Adrian Maloney wrote in September about her scoring ability and tenacious defense.
Emily Bainter Emily Bainter 5'8" | SF Hoxie | 2025 State KS , 5’9″, SF, Hoxie – Hoxie made a lot of noise last season and is expected to make even more this season. Bainter is a big reason why. She has a quick release on her perimeter shots, has good length, and has the unique ability to block perimeter shots. And after the block, she can gain ball control quickly and finish the transition play fluidly.
Abbie Numrich Abbie Numrich 5'7" | SG Blue Valley Northwest | 2025 State KS , 5’7″, SG, Blue Valley Northwest – I was able to enjoy a good look at Numrich at the PGH Top 250 event in Shawnee last month. While she may not be as fast as many of the players she matched up with she does run and move into space, including in the lane, well. I really liked how well she boxed out on the perimeter.
Samantha Stover Samantha Stover 5'7" | SG Neodesha | 2025 State KS , 5’7″, SG, Neodesha – What Stover brings to the Bluestreaks is good handles, energy, and solid three point shooting.
