Expert Analysis
Joshua Ebrahim | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Little has continued her torrid pace this season dominating on both ends of the floor. Little is a natural hooper that is the ultimate team player. She knows when to distribute and when to take over a game. She isn’t the most explosive but is shifty and has good balance to get to the rack. She is a legit perimeter threat that has expanded her range from last season. She’s only getting better with more reps.

South Shore, 5’4 PG 2024: Uncommitted
I have been following Little since I watched her in the PSAL State Title game back in March where she sliced up Susan Wagner and NY POY, Nicole Melious on the defensive end. Coming off an impressive summer circuit, I’m not really sure why Little just finally cracked the Top 100 nationally. She remains uncommitted and whoever lands her, is going to get a gamer that can help transform their program. Although undersized, she plays with heart and determination on both ends mixed with the talent and leadership she possesses, and it should set up for a dynamic final senior season. Expecting big things from Little this season.

She appears to be more comfortable from beyond the arc, shooting with more confidence and enhance mechanics that make her shot look effortless and accurate. She also more comfortable on the ball with her decision making on whether to distribute or take the space that is given to attack the paint.

Fresh off an MVP at the 2024 Gym Ratz and a 2024 Top 100 inclusion, Little will not be short on a list of suitors for her signature this upcoming season.rnLittle was dominant in the PSAL State Title Game and hasn’t skipped a beat during the summer circuit. She loves to push the tempo and find good shots for her teammates. Her offensive game is starting to come around and she is gaining confidence in her scoring ability and decision making which should bode well with the rest of her game. She is an elite defender despite being undersized using her relentless intensity and active hands to create scoring opportunities on the break and shutdown opponents like she did with Nicole Melious back in March.

Little does nearly everything right. She is a decorated guard who handles the ball with ease. She creates her own shots while finding ways to get teammates involved. She controls the offense like a quarterback does – altering plays when needed. She has both stepback and floater moves down. Little is a PSAL winner and has everything coaches at the next level seek. She is currently ranked no. 2 in her position and 4 overall in the state of New York. She is undersized. However, that hasn’t never been a problem for her. She has impressed against some of the nation’s best, including IMG Academy. She has also competed in the “Nike Swoosh Classic.”

The identity of South Shore resembles a lot of what Little brings to the table. She’s a hooper and loves to play basketball. She’s an in your face, tenacious defender. Confident and silky smooth floor general that knows when to make the right play and when to assert herself. Confident shooter from anywhere on the court. Is not afraid to pull up on you or beat you off the dribble. Hit some key catch and shoot 3’s during title game that took the air out of Susan Wagner. Pushes the pace always in transition and can dish in the paint or finish with her floater game.
