<p><strong>Amiyah Rulford, 5-10 FBC North Blue</strong></p>

<p>She showed the ability to defend anyone on the court. She is a taller guard and is able to create plays with the ball in her hands and score in multiple ways. Strong player and uses her athleticism to create issues for the opponent. Watch for her game to continue to grow this summer under a good program.</p>

<p><strong>Grace Schluckbier, 5-10 Illinois Hustle Navy</strong></p>

<p>Good handles. Can run the break and lead transition. Great wingspan, active hands and able to defend multiple players. Definitely was a player who helped her team succeed in the games I saw today. I got to see her twice and was impressed how she played. </p>

<p><strong>Brenna Bodensteiner, 5-6 Iowa Prep 2024 Red</strong></p>

<p>Stats tell a lot about the game, but sometimes you just need to watch how hard someone plays and that sells it. Brenna just worked so hard the entire night. She helps with the offensive side of things and moves well defensively. She can anticipate it is a smart heady basketball player. </p>

<p><strong>Peyton Simpson, 5-7 Iowa Prep 2024 Red</strong></p>

<p>Peyton played fearless, and wasn't afraid to take the big shot. Her team was in a tough one today and she didn't let it bother her. Impressive shot from the perimeter, plays under control and gets her teammates involved. I like her handles. I also like the way she can defend, good on-ball defender.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='405520' first='Kaitlyn' last='Parker'], 5-9 Illinois Gametime 2024</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Strong physical player who can defend multiple positions. Good handles she has good court awareness and knows where to be on the floor. Can run the point, shoot the perimeter shot and get to the rim. Plays with good confidence. <em>(featured photo above)</em></p>
