Unsung Heroes Of July's Live Period

Live period action is coming to a closing end. The girls of New England have seemed to take advantage of the highly competitive action in front of plenty of coaches. Many of the best prospects have committed or been on school's radars already, but there are some players that are undervalued and performed at a high level for their respective teams. These 7 girls below are underrated girls from New England that warrant school's attention.    [player_tooltip player_id='301042' first='Bleu' last='Kerr'] (2026) | 5'9 CG | RIBC   The 2026 combo guard is a refreshing addition to a St. Mark's squad that will be looking for her to fill a big role this year. Kerr has had herself an impactful summer that require some recognition for her outstanding play. Bleu is one of the better dynamic scorers around. The big guard has a shiftiness to her game that allows her to create angles and keep defenders one step off. Her finishing ability combined with her knack to put the ball in the basket make her a nightmare matchup for typical guards. Kerr has shown dominance running with RIBC this year and has truly shown why she deserves more awareness for her polarizing game.     [player_tooltip player_id='364179' first='Vanessa' last='Piscione'] (2025) | 5'10 Forward | BCRI   [player_tooltip player_id='364179' first='Vanessa' last='Piscione'] is one of the most intriguing and underrated 2025 prospects in the region. Vanessa is what most would call a point forward. She's a jack-of-all-trades type of player that does just about everything on the floor. Piscione can make head scratching highlights and has a bit of wizardry in her game. The 5'10 point forward was making full court, one handed passes and showing off her complete arsenal of footwork moves in the post this live period. What's most impressive about Vanessa's game is her ability to excel in any scenario on the court, whether that's in the halfcourt or out in transition. Piscione has such an impressive game and she was one of the more entertaining players to watch while she helped carry BCRI to some important wins.     [player_tooltip player_id='412221' first='Evi' last='Higgins'] (2025) | 5'11 SG | Boston Showstoppers   With shooting being such an important staple from the guard position, especially in New England, Higgins stands out of the bunch with one of the best pure strokes from beyond the arch. Although Evi offers a lot more creation than the average scorer, her shooting is next level. Over the weekend Higgins displayed a solid well-rounded game through cutthroat play. She was serving as a rebounder, facilitator, defender and of course scoring the basketball as usual. Higgins is also a defender on the floor. She remains active and uses her hands to disrupt a great deal of passes. Evi is a player that should be on school's radar after a successful AAU season and an exemplary swing of momentum going into the school season.     Isabela Jickling (2025) | 6'0 Wing | RIBC   Watching Isabela over the year develop as a prospect has been phenomenal. Over the weekend it was apparent just how much progress Jickling has made. The 6'0 wing brought a tough energy that resulted in winning plays. Jickling was looking like one of the better players on the floor when she was out there. She was knocking down shots from range while still bringing the consistent defensive and hustle plays that's typical of her. The long wing is a high-motor player that can fit into plenty of college programs. Look for Isabela to carry over the same driving force she had in AAU into the high school season. Jickling is a compelling prospect to keep an eye out for.     [player_tooltip player_id='428116' first='Lily' last='Sokol'] (2026) | 5'9 Wing | Bay State Jags   Sokol has been a steady performer on the Under Armour competitive circuit. She displayed a multifaceted game that filled the needs of whatever the Jags required at the time. Lily is a player that isn't demanding of the ball. Sokol doesn't force much and allows for the ball to find her. She doesn't call for many touches to impact the game. Her ability to cut, find the open space and make herself available allow her to alleviate the offensive pains suffered throughout the game when facing stifling defense. She also hits the open 3 with accuracy and has a nice touch around the rim. Lily is a significant New England prospect coming off a flourishing year of basketball.     [player_tooltip player_id='481349' first='Brooke' last='Kosar'] (2026) | 6'0 PF/C | MT Elite Ducks   The 6'0 fundamentally sound big has a lot to offer in her well-rounded game. Kosar plays well from the mid and low post areas. She has the ability to score from just about anywhere within her spots. She plays through contact consistently while working through her post moves. Kosar has a great feel for the game that allows her to find open space in halfcourt sets. Brooke has played on a competitive schedule this year, as well as playing up a grade which demonstrates the development. On the UA circuit, Kosar showed great poise and leadership while on the floor. She was also heavily relied upon in crucial moments, especially when the game needed to be slowed down. Altoghter, Brooke is player worth checking out after having a productive season of basketball.     [player_tooltip player_id='352471' first='Mya' last='Lambert'] (2026) | 5'10 Wing | MCW Starz   [player_tooltip player_id='352471' first='Mya' last='Lambert'] is one of the better 2-way wings in New England. The MCW Starz wing has had a beneficial live period session. She played skillfully in the Super Showcase and contributed to the team's success as they made their way into the Power24. Lambert is a high-energy wing that brings a certain level of tenacity when she's on the floor. Mya can knock down shots, get to the basket off the dribble and displayed the ability to knock down open shots. Lambert is a versatile player that can play multiple positions. She can also defend just about everywhere on the floor on call. Lambert is a perfect complimentary player that can play her role at a high level and schools should have Lambert on their radars.
