Alaina Diamond Alaina Diamond 6'3" | PF Loogootee | 2027 State IN will be a key interior presence for Loogootee as they head into the June live period looking to compete at a high level. Her size, strength, and rebounding ability allow her to set the tone in the paint, while her continued development offensively adds another layer to her game.

Diamond’s role for her high school team will center around energy, physicality, and consistency on both ends of the floor. As she continues to refine her game, June provides an important stage for her to compete against strong competition and continue building confidence heading into the next phases of the summer.

Alaina is a tall, extremely long, but fluid athlete. She is more of a forward than a post athletically, and she prefers to play facing the basket, from the mid-post to the perimeter. Despite playing quite a bit outside, she is still averaging 2.9 blocks per game, and like DuVall (above), Alaina affects as many other shots as she actually blocks, so she is “doubly” effective. I also feel like over the past couple of years, she has gotten a bit stronger and more aggressive. This season, she is averaging a double-double of 18.4 points and 11.4 rebounds, and she should approach the 1000 career point mark toward the end of the season. She should also top 500 rebounds around the middle of January.

Alaina offers the Lions a great deal of talent, skill, and hope for the next two years. She had a great Sophomore season (16.7p, 9.3r, 1.9s, 1.7b) and looks to catapult from that moving forward. She is skilled around the basket or facing it to the perimeter, she’s a nice all-around athlete, and she has good length and a wiry-strong frame to her. Alaina is starting to draw her share of recruiting interest as well from varying levels.
