Ariyana helped change the course for East Lansing in 2023, earning an All-League selection as a result of her exceptional performance. Ariyana has explosive downhill quickness as a scorer off the dribble and wreaks havoc as an on-ball defender to create steals. Ariyana demonstrated progress as a perimeter shooter during the off-season and will be lethal by adding 3-point consistency to her game. Ariyana energizes her team as a go-to scorer, confident ball handler, and aggressive defender. She is a must watch college prospect who will be an All-League caliber player again in 2024.

Ariyana is an athlete with length and speed that leads to many transition buckets on the basketball court. Her athleticism, leaping ability, and quick footwork driving to the basket have led me to believe she would be an outstanding wing on a Rugby Sevens Team. Wings have to outrun their defenders and their job is to score! Ariyana accelerates to score a ton of baskets on the court and could make many plays on the outside to put points up in a hurry. She will wear #7.

James was stellar in East Lansing’s big win against Okemos. She showed an elite speed burst on the straight line dribble drive with her right hand. James put the ball on the floor and had her defender on her hip in no time. She was definitely a multi level scorer. She hit a 3 off the catch and off the bounce and a mid range baseline jumper. James is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on.

James-Benson caught a lot of eyes at the Top 250. She was a downhill player throughout the day. James-Benson did a great job taking 2 dribble drives off the wing and getting to the rim.
