Not just a shooter, Allen is hard working, aggressive perimeter player who has a versatile skill set. She rebounds the ball well from the guard spot and is a good passer with good court vision and plays with an unselfishness, making the extra pass and finding the open player.

Her long, athletic frame and high upside make her an intriguing prospect. Look for her on the travel scene with FGB 17U Gold.      <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/sdillihay2024/status/1620149215111553024?s=46&t=prut6qM-EuVGSpicfWFGPQ </div></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='495942' first='Asya' last='Jones'] (Lady OTOD) Class of 2024- Guard   Jones is an aggressive penetrating guard who looks to attack the rim often from the top of the key, the wing, and the baseline.  A capable 3 point shooter, she can stop and pop off the bounce and pull from 3.  She is at her best in the open court and in transition attacking off the bounce and getting to the rim!   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/8XN8EIRmUyY </div></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='217665' first='Sofia' last='Mendez'] (Miami Country Day) Class of 2024– Guard   Mendez was instrumental in helping MCDS bring home the 3A State Championship.  She is a skilled scorer with 3 point range that helps her team space the floor by knocking down open 3s from the wing and corner off penetrate and kick.  An unselfish player, Mendez makes the extra pass to the open player passing up the good shot for a great shot.  She has a high IQ and excellent court vision, looking up the floor and making passes to lead for layups off defensive rebounds.  An aggressive and active defender, she gets her hands on a lot of balls and runs through passing lanes for steals and deflections.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://vimeo.com/811893348 </div></figure>     Michael Wholey is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.
