Expert Analysis
Ally McGinnis | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
A top-60 ranted prospect in the 2028 class, Smith is a versatile player who brings a spark on both ends of the floor. At Sunday’s showcase she displayed her highly explosive first step, attacking the rim and absorbing plenty of contact along the way. Ava out-muscled her opponents for numerous rebounds, using her strength and positioning to dominate the boards. She was aggressive on both ends of the floor, providing both effective defense and a burst of offense for her team. Following their recent state championship victory, Smith looks poised to make an impact for the young Royals squad in her sophomore season.

On paper, Ava is a bit undersized to play in the post. On the court, it hardly makes a difference because Smith plays bigger, competes harder and accomplishes more during her time in the fray than the vast majority of players ever do. Ava had a great summer with Minnesota Stars OU and nearly made the Freshman 50 in the fall. This winter she made 22 appearances for Hopkins and managed to impact the game at both ends of the floor when she had opportunities. Ava loves to attack and she knows how to score.
