Led by former Hornet and Florida Gator Alum Jennifer George. The event hosted 30 of the top players in Central Florida and beyond. Here is the second part of the evaluation of players from the event.
Kaiyah Gaynor 2023 5’8″ SG Armwood High School
Gaynor was playing with a high level of confidence throughout the event. Getting to the basket at will. Making very dynamic plays, using both hands, finishing at the goal. The long guard from Tampa was creating havoc on the defensive side of the ball, putting pressure on the ball handler and grabbing rebounds.
Carly La Morte 2024 5’10” PF Bishop Moore/JSizzles
The post from Orlando has a feathery touch around the basket and from outside. Light on her feet, she moves well on the court, knowing where to be and what is going on. A vocal player that was communicating with her teammates throughout the event, showing a level of leadership. The Bishop Moore Junior should have a big role for the team going into next season.
Destinie Gordon Destinie Gordon 5'11" | PF Colonial | 2024 State FL 2024 5’11” PF Colonial/OBC
This kid plays with a high level of energy and intensity. Very active on both sides of the court. Getting offensive rebounds and put backs. Along with challenging the offensive player to take tough shots. Gordon shows an ability to handle the ball in transition, using her speed and awareness to her advantage. Has a high level of confidence to hit the mid-range jump shot when presented.
Lilly Jacobus Lilly Jacobus 5'9" | SG Oviedo | 2024 State FL 2024 5’8″ PG Oviedo/JSizzles
Jacobus is a crafty guard that creates quality shots for herself. A team player that sets screens, communicates and shows a positive attitude that is infectious. A tough match up as she is a taller guard that can handle the basketball very well. Jacobus using nice form when releasing the ball, usually draining the deep ball and the mid-range jumpers.
Janay Demmitt Janay Demmitt 5'5" | PG Lake Howell | 2023 State FL 2023 5’5″ PG Lake Howell/TNBA
The Senior from Winter Park had a great showcase. Getting to the basket at ease and making the right play. An unselfish point guard that puts the ball on target, to the right person. She has a high level of understanding of the game and what others supposed to be doing. A floor general that is basically the assistant coach on the floor. Would not be surprised if she doesn’t sign with a college before the high school year is out.
