<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782614' first='Karlee' last='Konarik']-5'11 SG (Phoenix Platinum)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Konarik is a big guard who can flat-out shoot it, so I was excited to see her back after a slight injury yet even more excited to see her added aggressiveness on both ends of the floor. She hit the boards, handled the ball afterward plus applied "on the ball" pressure</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='664394' first='Caeleigh' last='Rogers']-5'10 SF (Phoenix Platinum)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rogers is always doing something that helps to change the momentum, which is why I often drop The Glue when talking about her. She's creating her shot and getting to whatever she wants to drop the jumper, finishing stronger father the lick, playing the passing lane, and applying heat defensively </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='809954' first='Aniya' last='Taylor']-5'5 PG (Phoenix Platinum) 2027</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Taylor has had me waiting all season to see her, from track and field to dropping field goals, her ability to run a team is one of the best in her class. She's shifty with the ball, her crossover, slight hez as well as her first step are big pluses yet so is her court vision and jumper. She also plays solid defense</p>

<p><strong>Reagan Robbins-5'9 G (Phoenix Platinum) 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Robbins filled up the stat sheet as she hit the boards, on both ends, picked a few pockets on defense, and scored both off the dribble and with the pull-up jumper. Even better, she did it "in the flow" and her "on the court" progression has me smiling </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='925205' first='Jewels' last='Johnson']-5'5 SG (SA Islanders) 2028</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson has so much upside and is one of the most poised 2028 players I've captured because she's playing up, competing, and not being fazed. She's an athletic guard who can score off the dribble as well as drop the jumper yet her "catch and shoot" from deep is nice, very nice </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='870826' first='Laura' last='Sierra']-6'0 C (SA Islanders) 2025</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sierra continues to show that she can do damage inside the paint on both ends and using her college-ready frame to score after contact is part of it. Her hands and footwork keep me smiling, so does her rebounding on both ends and seeing her score off the dribble is a plus</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='907767' first='Avery' last='Mier']-6'0 G )[program_tooltip program_id='715346' first='Houston' last='United'] Mike) 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mier is one of the top "sleepers" in her class, trust me on that and her versatility at her size is why I say that. Mid to long-range, off the dribble, around the basket, putbacks included yes she rebounds on both ends and does a good job defensively, in and outside the paint</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='875707' first='Jakayla' last='Glover']-5'6 G ([program_tooltip program_id='715346' first='Houston' last='United'] Mike) 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Glover is a "strong and athletic" guard, which is also the base as she has amazed me with her speed with the ball, SWB, and staying under control from day 1 yet her explosiveness off the dribble in the set coupled with acrobatic finishes was on display</p>
