Expert Analysis
Cedric Cobb | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
One of the top guards in Arizona’s 2027 class continues to separate herself with her explosiveness off the dribble. Freeman got into the lane at will throughout the weekend and made life difficult for opposing guards defensively with her quick hands and lateral speed.

It was apparent that Freeman was the quickest player in the gym as she applied constant rim pressure. Even when defenders gave her space, she still found a way to go by them. She’s a quick, explosive guard who finished well with either hand and put defenders on their heels.

Jayla is the definition of a Hustle player. I can not express enough how much fun it is to watch this kid play. Every single possession she is playing with full effort. Her hustle is unmatched not only in her class but in all of Arizona. Her ability to create the shots she wants makes her an elite guard. Getting the AND-1 and the friendly roll every time. Her athleticism makes up for her lack of size in the paint and match that with her speed…it’s over for any match up. A true eye catching guard.

Freeman plays like the Tazmanian devil by making plays on both ends of the floor. Her superior athleticism allows her to lock up opponents the full 94 feet. She does a great job in getting to the rim to either dish off to open teammates or finish around the rim. I am extremely high up on her and I believe her stock will explode into the summer.

Freeman was a thorn in Mesquite’s side all night. She made plays on both ends of the floor and caused a lot of havoc on the defensive end. A pure athlete with quickness and a knack for disrupting passing lanes. Freeman continues to prove to be one of the best under the radar guards in the state regardless of class.

Freeman, known as one of the quickest players in the state, was slowed somewhat by foul trouble. When she was on the court, the burst acceleration was there, and defenders were backpedaling. She was able to get into the lane and finish over taller players.

Freeman impressed as her team played against some of the top teams in the event. She is a flat-out playmaker who makes an impact on both ends of the floor. My favorite attribute is how she plays fearlessly by wanting to guard the best opponent, and her ability to get to the rim and finish or facilitate. Higley is my favorite sleeping giant this winter as I expect them to sneak up on teams. Freeman will be an x-factor night in and night out.

When it comes to speed and quickness, few can match what Jayla brings to the floor. She’s arguably the fastest player from end to end in the AIA, using her burst to put pressure on defenses every possession. Freeman’s ability to get downhill and finish or create for others makes her a nightmare in transition. Expect her to be a major catalyst for Higley as she continues to mature as a floor general.
