Expert Analysis
Brandon Tinnon | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
a kid who just always gave it her all. No matter what was needed, she attacked the assignment and owned the opportunity. From scoring the rock from all 3 levels, playing different positions, locking up on D, getting steals, rebounds, this kid was phenomenal and played the game with such energy and passion. She is a relentless worker who has such a motor on her. Didn’t matter the opponent or venue, Hil was always ready to compete as soon as that ball was tipped off. She played hard every second she was on the floor, giving it her all. Look for her to create even more havoc on the next level.

A warrior. Pure and simple as that. Most don’t know this but she has been playing with an injury (undisclosed) and still doing work. Hil is just a go-getter and is willing to do any and everything to help propel her ballclub. She has the heart of a lion and is always in attack mode. A dual sport athlete that is solid on both ends of the floor. She can get a bucket from anywhere and lock up on the defensive end. This kid has had a great HS basketball career.

Helped her club to a big win over Bartlett Tuesday night. You can never count a team out as long as Hil is on the floor. She’s the energizer bunny and her teammates feed off her energy. She led the team with 17 points. She was getting her points in multiple ways: from 3, getting to the rim, from the free throw line. What stood out was her ability to play solid D, get rebounds, and disrupt Bartlett’s offense. Talented kid who is finishing her senior season strong.

One of the most undervalued kids in the state, this kid just gets the job done. She goes hard and excels at whatever assignment she is given. Hilary is a multi-level scoring threat who plays the game with a passion. She’s always on go mode and goes the extra mile to get the job done. Her ability to do a mutltude of things enables her to be one of the most valuable pieces on the floor. She can defend like crazy, rebound with the best of them, and still have that same intensity to go get a bucket. Dual sport athlete who has speed for days. Is averaging 19.5 ppg,4 rpg, and 3spg.

Plays with such a motor, this kid is solid on both ends of the floor. She’s a workhorse who gets after it on every single possession. Using her speed to cause disruption, this kid is often overlooked because it is hard to define her game because she can do so much. Play her as a driver, she will pull it from the arc. Play her as a shooter, she will put the ball on the floor. Add her ability to rebound and defend and this kid is one tough cookie. Look for her to be the leading catalyst for her ball club down the stretch. Superb talent who gets it done.

Dual sports athlete who is a three level scoring threat. Plays with an unbelievable motor that enables her to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She is the “can do all” type of girl and can play any position 1-4. She is below 6’0 but plays big time. She’s on the boards, she is hungry on the defensive end, she pretty much does all things and does it efficiently and effectively. She has flown under the radar her whole career. Don’t know the reason, maybe it’s her size and the coaches can’t quantify a distinct position. Just know that this girl can flat out play and she is a tremendous difference maker.

I will say I am a big fan of this young lady. She just brings tremendous energy to the court and just hustles. Doesn’t matter the situation, this kid is always on “go mode.” She is one of the most underrated two way players in the state. Yes she can put up points, scoring it from multiple spots on the court. It’s her energy to just get after it, whatever the coach wants her to do. She does it without asking questions. Rebounds (on both ends), steals, all the hustle plays, this kid shows up and competes her tail off. Had a great showing this weekend that will carry over to the regular season.

She can play spots 1-4. High IQ player who plays with a motor. Whatever needs to be done, it gets done. Look, she can score it on all 3 levels, but what people may not know is that she is probably one of the most solid two-way players in the state. She can score at a consistent clip and then lock down on the defensive end, picking up the full length of the court. She has unbelievable stamina, which she gets from playing soccer as well. In my opinion, this kid is underrated and whatever school she lands at will be getting a gem for sure.

just looks like she should be a basketball player. She has all the intangibles: great size, length, and athleticism. She’s turned herself into a high level on the ball defender, and understands helps D. She great at getting into help quickly and clogging up driving lanes with her length. She’s also an above average rebounder for her position. Can guard multiple positions in switch heavy schemes.
Offensively, she continues to improve. She does most of her damage attacking the rim, where she has a variety of finishes in her bag. She’s got excellent footwork and knows how to play off two feet, and when to initiate or avoid contact. Still developing as a shooter. HUGE upside.

The Collierville wing is having a really nice spring for TBW ’25. I went back and watched her high school highlights, and he was playing a guard for them. As a guard, she extremely quick and powerful, and can slice through the smallest windows on the way to the rim. On her AAU team, she’s been asked to play for 4 and 5, and I think it’s only going to help her once school ball resumes. At her size, if she has a small, quick guard defending her, I want Shikuku posting her up! And if a big is defending her, I want her attacking off the bounce! She has the chance to be a matchup nightmare!!
