No one saw the maturation process unfold so quickly. She has gone from a little-known prospect to one who quickly attracted the eyes of collegiate coaches. Heading to Missouri, I feel that once she gets comfortable with all the things: school, the physicality of the game, putting on more muscle, she too will be a solid addition that will make some noise in the SEC. Blessed with great size, she has good speed that enables her to stretch the floor. She is actually a solid ball handler, so she can create, especially from within the perimeter. She can stretch the floor or post up, but what impresses me is how she uses her body to defend opponents. She isn’t one who’s going to be out of position much, but will have the leverage to be in position to block shots and get rebounds. This kid is someone to watch as she contributes to the Lady Tigers’ ball club.

 Has a goal to help advance this Franklin ball club. Playing with such confidence, she is ready to show doubters that she is for real. This double-digit big can score the ball in many ways. From playing with her back to the basketball to stretching the floor and taking someone off the dribble, her presence on the floor is a threat to anyone they face. The Missouri commit is ready to show everyone she is the real deal.

The Missouri signee has been playing with a lot of confidence lately. Mind you, she had a 57-point outing last week. Add in her double-digit rebounding ability that she gets nightly, and this kid is a tough outing every time. She can score the rock in multiple ways. I love how she isn’t afraid to handle the rock, creating for herself on the way to the basket. She’s not a shifty type player, but has an arsenal full of counter moves that enable her to finish. She has instilled confidence in her teammates and rejuvenated the Lady Admirals program. Look for her to finish this senior season strong.

The Missouri signee was putting on a clinic against Oakland. In fact, she outscored the entire Oakland team, giving them headaches all throughout the night. She was locked in as she dropped 57 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, and had four blocks. The score was 71-48, and the Lady Admiral spearheaded this win right from the start. Look for her to be ready to bring it in postseason play and take this ball club to new heights along the way.

Her size alone puts her in another category in itself. I’ll say this, she has impressive footwork around the low block areas. She has counter moves, can handle the rock, inside the arc; she is tough to handle because she finds ways to score the basketball. Even when the gameplan is to stop her, she plays with poise, hunts great shots, and is patient as she gets to the spots she wants to go to. She’s big-time on the boards, and when it’s all said and done, as the final horn sounds, she’s eclipsed the double-double mark. The Missouri commit has instilled faith back into the Lady Admirals program.

In what has been a struggle this year for Franklin High School, senior Cecilie Brandimore Cecilie Brandimore 6'3" | C Franklin | 2026 State TN has been a bright spot.

At the event, she was dominating the boards as she always does and also showcased her craftiness on the offensive end. In the interior, she was hitting opposing players with jab steps and fancy footwork to generate good open looks. With this, she displayed good touch around the basket at the event.

Brandimore, this season’s great interior play has been seen outside of the Hoop Fest as well. She has multiple games with double-doubles this year, including games against Cane Ridge and Independence High School.

This other Missouri signee was doing her thing as well. She moves so well as a big and can handle the rock, getting into a countermove easily. She is a bucket down low, and her ability to be big time on the boards and block shots is so good. She’s the captain of the Lady Admiral,s and she really helps elevate this ball club. She brings energy and effort to the table and instills confidence in those around her. Hard-working kid who will be a nice addition to the Lady Tigers program.

The Missouri commit is showing everyone around Middle Tennessee that the Lady Tigers got a steal in this kid. Averaging a double-double, this kid is putting the basketball in the hoop as well as cleaning up on the glass. However, it is her ability to block shots, neutralizing the opposition along the way. The Lady Admirals are rolling and CB is leading the charge as she anchors the middle for a talented Franklin squad.

Cecilie Brandimore Cecilie Brandimore 6'3" | C Franklin | 2026 State TN is already ranked high at the #23 spot, but she showed in her junior season of hoops at Franklin High School that she can easily still move up the ranks. Brandimore’s game looks college-ready. Although she stands at 6’3″, she has great agility and can handle the ball, which is not a common trait for centers. In the low post she features an array of moves that allow her to score at ease.

Two other prominent skills she has are her elite rebounding ability and her three-point shot. With all this, she has no problem filling up a stat sheet.

She committed to the University of Missouri early this week. Congrats to this prospect as she becomes another talented kid who will be playing at the next level. Her stock has risen over the course of the past couple of months. She has dominated inside the painted areas, along with exploiting the mid-range areas as well. She is a beast on the boards, and her size enables her to swat shots away as well. Missouri is getting a steal in this young lady, and she will bring tons of talent with her to the city of Columbia. Until then, you better believe she is going to compete and sharpen her skills against some of the country’s best.
