<p>Several college prospects fit for a variety of levels have registered, but we still believe there are MANY 2025s out there who would be great additions to our showcase. Here are several prospects who could shine on the big stage in front of our scouts and college coaches.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='423695' first='Cora' last='Williams']-5-11-PF-A.A FGR</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cora is a fierce forward in the paint for the Irish who finishes strong off two and bulldozers her way defenders driving to the rim. She uses solid footwork to score at the rim and fights for rebounds. Cora would be an exciting forward to watch at The Expo.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='423704' first='Natalie' last='Hensel']-5-11-W/PF-Pennfield-[program_tooltip program_id='715424' first='The' last='Naturals']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Natalie is a lanky wing/forward prospect who demonstrates excellent footwork in the high post to face up for jumpers and drives or elevate to convert contested shots around the basket. Her length causes deflections and blocks on defense; she is a prospect coaches would enjoy seeing at The Expo.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='519158' first='Bri' last='Young']-5-11-SF-Bloomfield Hills-Michigan Crossover</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Briana attacks hard downhill off the dribble to finish layups and has an effective mid-range jumper off the dribble. She creates countless turnovers with her defensive pressure and has the acceleration to outrace opponents in transition. Briana would be an excellent addition to The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='419541' first='Jaidyn' last='Woods']-5-9-SF-DEPSA-[program_tooltip program_id='713193' first='Michigan' last='Goonies']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jaidyn, unfortunately, had to miss some time this spring due to injury, but she was a prospect whose athleticism, multi-level scoring ability, passion, and explosive steps off the dribble caught my attention at a prospect camp last summer. She is someone I would like to see compete in front of college coaches at The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='419542' first='Moriyah' last='Goudy']-5-8-CG-DEPSA-[program_tooltip program_id='713193' first='Michigan' last='Goonies']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moriyah uses her strength and speed to drive by defenders for layups. She crashes the boards and finishes well off two feet. Moriyah is a prospect who could turn some heads at The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='894896' first='Shakya' last='Anderson']-6-2-Wyoming-[program_tooltip program_id='713024' first='Michigan' last='Drive Premier']-Vieau</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Shakya missed time this grassroots season with an injury, but she showed her toughness in the post plenty of times. She has the height and firm foundation college coaches need at the center position. Shakya scores through contact, contributes on the boards, and would be a great addition to The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='716481' first='Emily' last='Walker']-5-9-SG-Mercy-[program_tooltip program_id='712670' first='Michigan' last='Storm UAA']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Emily is a guard who does many skills well that help her team succeed on the basketball court. She knocks down 3s, distributes passes effectively to teammates, and shoots well off the dribble. Emily has handles to beat defenders off the dribble and is a prospect I'd like to see pickup recruiting steam at The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613010' first='Tara' last='Kurncz']-5-6-SG-Dewitt</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tara is a competitive guard who we have not had the opportunity to watch compete during grassroots. That in no way means she doesn't have what it takes to play next-level ball. She consistently leads the way on both ends of the court making the effort plays and has an explosive burst on her drives. I would enjoy seeing Tara earn recognition from college coaches at The Expo.</p>

<p><strong>MIrra Fenlon-5-10-SG-Zeeland East-[program_tooltip program_id='713024' first='Michigan' last='Drive Premier']-P24</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mirra has length and skills at guard that make her a next-level prospect. She scores off the dribble and hits shots from deep 3-point range. Mirra is a pure scorer from Zeeland East who I would enjoy watching catch the attention of college coaches at The Expo.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335983' first='Sophia' last='Bussell']-5-7-SG-Monroe-Mystics Black</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sophia has the firepower to take over games with her 3-point shooting. She picked up some offers this summer and is a prospect we would enjoy watching compete at The Expo.</p>
