Adger was one of the top defensive players in the 2028 Southern Arizona class. She plays very aggressive and moves extremely well. Great defensive IQ, speed and skill making her extremely hard to get past for opposing guards. Makes great reads off ball, intercepting passes then burst past the defense scoring the layup on the other end. Plays with great confidence. Handles pressure extremely well. Adger played in a very talented rotation for the Lancers and was very effective on the court. Plays with an incredible motor and with purpose.

Adger has been one of my favorite defenders to watch so far. She is an absolute nightmare for her opponents as she consistently applies full court defense and forces many turnovers. She has high energy and plays physical. Is incredibly quick in the fast break and will score off a steal before her opponents have time to adjust. She rebounds the ball very well out hustling and out muscling her opponents. One of the more impactful players who does the “dirty” work on the court and takes pride in it. Adger has the mentality and skill to continue to develop into a sought after guard in the 2028 class.

Adger is always fun to watch. Her motor is unmatched as she plays at a high level every possession. If you love defensive players then Adger is the one. She picks up the length of the court and is a menace. She forces many turnover with her on ball defense and is a ball hawk away from the ball. She’ll read a pass and quickly intercept it and take it the other way for the score. Adger averaged 2.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in a very talented Lancer rotation. Adger hustles and is not only going to be a defensive star on the court but is tremendous on the flag football field as well.

Aliyahs court vision, IQ and toughness separated her from the rest. A physical on ball defender who will not back down. Even off the ball Adger is making reads and picked off many passes. Handles the ball extremely well and is a natural leader on the court. Rarely did I see Aliyah pressured into mistakes. She maintained a calm presence and made great plays throughout the event.
