<p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>Austin has been the clear-cut stock riser this summer, in my opinion. The size is God-given, but her skill set is still being finely tuned. Her impact is evident on both sides of the ball. Offensively, she can play multiple roles in various sets and positions. She dominates in the paint and on the low block, with the added ability to stretch the floor beyond the arc. Defensively, she's a presence in the paint with high hands and a strong base. Reliable on the boards, she rarely finds herself in foul trouble. Austin shows a ton of potential.</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>Securing an offer from Stanford is no small achievement. Stanford is known for producing some of the best athletic forwards in the country, and Nora has a chance to enter that circle. Beyond receiving an offer of that caliber, Ezike has truly improved her skill set. A true workhorse in the gym, she is a player that any coach would love to have as part of their program. Respectful, dedicated to her craft, top-tier in her academics, and an amazing teammate—Ezike is the total package for any program.</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>Henigan's ability to hunt mismatches and get to the midrange is key for the next level. Being able to operate in the middle of the court allows her to dictate the pace and flow of an offense, forcing the defense to overthink each of their rotations. She excels at breaking down defenders and creating scoring opportunities from the arc, elbow and at the rim. Henigan is one of the most aggressive guards you'll come across—a player you have to strap up against, but a teammate you'd love to strap up with.</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>The offers are piling up, and it is not hard to understand why. Outside of her being a pure athlete, her impact on the game doesn't always show heavily in the scoring column, but she can fill up every other major category—rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. If you're a college coach watching her, you're thinking about what this prospect can become in 1-2 years with the right development team around her. She has a high ceiling and the potential to be a program changer.</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>Jackson has the ability to play positions 3-5 with effectiveness. I don't believe there's a spot on the court from which she can't score, whether off the dribble, in transition, or in set plays. In multiple actions, she can be a problem for the defense: pick and pops, pick and rolls, or even on the dive. From the nail down to the block, Jackson can be truly impactful in those actions for a program. She can hit mid-range jumpers, finish at the rim, and create her own shot. She is a strong player with a soft touch. High upside. </em></p>
