2024 Romulus PG Sa’ryah Roberts Sa’ryah Roberts 5’0″ | PG Romulus | 2024 State MI made some flashy plays at the Top 250 Expo Saturday. She utilizes hesitations and explosive first steps to gain position on her defender and create offensive looks for herself and teammates. Roberts has the ball handling control and vision to dish the rock and her downhill toughness keeps the defense honest. She is a 24′ schools should be taking a look at this season.
2025 CG Averi Collins Averi Collins 5’3″ | PG Churchill | 2025 State MI of Churchill had an outstanding overall performance at the Top 250 Expo on Saturday. Averi scored at all three levels and demonstrated poise running the point. She anticipated passes on defense and converted steals into transition points with her speed. Averi used inside out dribbles and pushouts to create space and score all day. She had a very impressive all around performance at the Top 250 Expo and will be a target for colleges at the next level going into the winter season.
Highlights
2025 CG Isabella Nooe Isabella Nooe 5’4″ | PG South Lyon | 2025 State MI of South Lyon shined brightly Saturday at the Top 250 Expo. If coaches did not know who this girl was before, they definitely will now. She showed elite fundamental ability on both sides of the ball. She used the hesitation dribble drive floater, finished contested shots, deflected passes on the ball, and found teammates with her vision. Isabella was a top performer Saturday with her complete game and effort on the court: she should be a targeted prospect going into the winter season.
Highlights
2026 SG Victoria Hauffe Victoria Hauffe 5’8″ | SG Hemlock | 2026 State MI from Hemlock put her skills on display Saturday at the Top 250 Expo. She is a deadly 3 point shooter and showed her ability to drive to the basketball and make assists as well. Victoria used a pause, sweep drive past her defender and then found an open teammate. Victoria can score at all three levels, create space with her dribble, and see the floor with excellent vision. She will be a next level prospect to watch at Hemlock the next few seasons.
Highlights
2026 CG Mariah Sain Mariah Sain 5’9″ | CG Muskegon | 2026 State MI from Muskegon showed exactly why she is the #1 ranked CG in the state for her grade on Saturday. She dominated on both sides of the ball and demonstrated elite ball handling control. I have never seen a player use so many consecutive inside out dribbles at full speed like that in a game: wow. She skied up for rebounds, blocked shots, finished strong at the rim, etc. Mariah has elite speed and moves with the ball, her long strides give her an advantage over any defender. She had one of the most impressive performances at the Top 250 Expo.
2026 Ava Tate Ava Tate 5’10” | SG Portage Central | 2026 State MI is a Wing from Portage Central who showed off her athleticism at the Top 250 Expo Saturday. She finished contested shots at the rim all day and also showed her ability to create space with a step back. She has length and speed to create turnovers on defense by deflecting passes and blocking shots. One of her most eye opening moments of the day was when she attacked the defender, used a spin dribble, then finished left at the rim. I have a note for Ava that I did not use many times Saturday: “Great Defender”. Ava put herself on the map Saturday and will be a 26′ I look forward to seeing develop over her HS career.
Arabella Dulce
Arabella Dulce
Arabella Dulce is a 2025 CG fr0m Okemos who put her shooting accuracy on full display Saturday. She went on a shooting spree where she nailed a wing 3 and corner 3 consecutively. Arabella handles the ball with poise and control using both hands to effectively create space off the dribble and find open teammates. She is someone to watch at Okemos this upcoming season.
2026 Molly Walker Molly Walker 5’8″ | SF Kingston | 2026 State MI is a wing from Kingston who showed why she is ranked in the top 10 at her position on Saturday. She shoots with deadly 3 point accuracy hitting the corner 3 and also driving hard to the basket to draw fouls. Molly has a relentless motor to chase down rebounds and puts herself in position for put backs in the paint. She can use low and controlled dribbles to get by defenders and cause havoc for defenses. Molly had a great day at the Top 250 Expo and will be a top prospect for the Cardinals this season.
