Ja’lanni Fontenette Ja’lanni Fontenette 5'8" | PG/SG Salmen | 2029 State LA  is a 5’8” point guard/shooting guard in the 2029 class out of Salmen High School in Louisiana. Prep Girls Hoops lists her as a PG/SG, with a “Riser” badge, and she was included in the March 2029 rankings update as one of the names moving up in Louisiana’s class.

Fontenette is a young guard with a strong scoring mindset and the confidence to attack early. She brings good size for the guard spot, handles the ball with purpose, and has the ability to play both on and off the ball. Her profile fits the modern combo guard mold — someone who can initiate offense, create downhill pressure, and slide into a scoring role when needed.

What stands out most is her attacking mentality.  LGR Basketball  listed Fontenette as a Fab 50 player, and earlier grassroots coverage described her as a slasher who was “all over the court scoring at will.” That type of early buzz matters, especially for a 2029 prospect still developing her full game.

Coach Lathan Take:
Ja’lanni Fontenette Ja’lanni Fontenette 5'8" | PG/SG Salmen | 2029 State LA  is a stock-rising young guard with size, confidence, and real scoring upside. As she continues to tighten her decision-making, shooting consistency, defensive pressure, and leadership at the guard spot, her name has a chance to keep climbing. She’s already on the radar — now it’s about turning flashes into dominance.
