Expert Analysis
Kyle Sandy | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Weaver has elite size and versatility, standing around 6-foot-5 if not taller. Janiyah played all over the floor against Team Elite Hubbard, most impressively helping handle the ball against the press as she showed a nice feel with speed. Weaver still isn’t packed with muscle per say but she has improved her functional strength throughout the years and doesn’t get pushed around much. She can be a game wrecker on defense whether blocking shots down low or forcing turnovers at the top of the 1-3-1. D-I schools have ramped up their recruitment as of late. In the loss to Team Elite Hubbard, Weaver was a bright spot with 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

Weaver, like Kopacek, has seen her recent play in travel ball rewarded with offers from divisions one schools Penn State, SC State, and Illinois- Chicago. Her size and length allow Weaver to have a huge impact on the game on both ends of the floor. I believe Janiyah’s best basketball is still ahead of her and she continues to focus on skill development, which clearly has been paying off.

High ceiling tweener moves from Maynard Jackson to Morrow. Averaged 6.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.6 blocks per game as a sophomore. Creates mismatches with her guard skills on the perimeter. Continuing to add strength to her frame will help her when playing in the paint.
