A kid who can dominate the low block areas, she is a difference maker down low. Offensively, she’s a bucket, bringing the physicalness, as she muscles through her opponent on her way to the rim. Has solid footwork to go along with her wide array of counter moves. She scores and does so in each outing, putting up double figures. She’s big time on the boards and blocking shots. People may highlight her offensive game, but it’s her defense that poses a serious threat. She’s a special talent, one who wreaks havoc anytime she is on the floor.

One of the hottest names around, this kid is super tough as she finds ways to put the ball in the net. Posting up, she muscles through the opposition, leaving them behind. Using her body, she knows how to finagle herself and finish at the rim. From passing out of double teams to stepping out from the block and knocking down mid-range shots, she’s become one of the more effective post players, especially on the offensive end. Defensively, she’s top-notch. Gaining rebounds and blocking shots, she makes it hard for opponents to work. Her stock is rising, and her level of playing is on the upswing, too.

Tough. A walking double-double, she plays ball with a motor. A kid who is dominant with her back to the basketball. She has a nice bag of counter moves she uses when her primary move is taken away. She has a great feel for the game, is smart, can feel the opposition, and knows where to throw the ball out of a double team. She is big-time on the boards. Can block shots, sending subliminal messages to the other team. This kid is solid and one who will be on college coaches’ radars.

Kaylee Dixon Kaylee Dixon 6'2" | PF Smith County | 2028 State TN , this past school season for Smith County High School, was an elite-level anchor for their defense

Dixon, often playing in the back of Smith County’s defense, displayed her high basketball IQ. She constantly shut down scoring chances. The combination of her above-average lateral movement and her size at 6’2″ generated a high number of blocks in the season. In one game against Cannon County in the 2025-2026 season, she had four blocks.

On offense, Dixon is a big offensive rebounding threat. She does a great job at shifting and constantly getting inside position on the other team’s bigs when a shot goes in the air. This allows her to generate large rebound totals in games. Dixon often follows up these offensive rebounds by going straight into a shot, logging second-chance points. The following skillset was on display this past season in a game against Watertown High School. Dixon had 16 points and 15 rebounds in the game.

A solid post player who put on a magnificent performance this past weekend. She was in double figures in multiple games, putting the ball in the basket and owning the boards. She established her presence early, dominating the painted area. She was hard to move off her mark, and when she received the rock, she was quick to get into her bag on her way to the rim. This kid is a tough ballplayer and one of the top low-post players in her class. Keep tabs on her as her game continues to grow and reach new heights.

In the substate game at Pearl Cohn, sophomore Kaylee “KK” Dixon finished the game with an impressive 28 points, 21 rebounds & 8 blocks.

 A workhorse downlow, this kid finishes through contact. She is great in the interior, where she can knock down the mid-range and score around the blocks. She will even stretch the floor, given the opportunity. Any free look is a no-go as she can put it in the basketball. She’s a fearless competitor on the defensive end, where she blocks shots, gets deflections, and owns the boards. Her career in this high school game is still young, but you better believe she will be impactful throughout her tenure on these hardwoods.

A big man who plays with relentless energy. She can stretch the floor and knock down the 3-ball, but dominating the paint is what she does best. Offensively, she has a nice arsenal of low-post moves that enable her to finish around the rim. From drop steps to up-and-unders, she puts her opponents in unfavorable positions that let her power through and finish. On the defensive end, she is a board collector. Double-digit rebounds are in her wheelhouse nightly. This kid is solid and will be a solid prospect when it’s all said and done.

Kaylee is an inside presence who played with a high motor and controlled the paint on both ends. Defensively, she was a presence with her rebounding, shot-blocking, and positional awareness. Offensively, she displayed polished post footwork and counter moves, making her a consistent threat around the basket. She still showed some youthful inconsistencies but her upside is hard to ignore making her a prospect who saw her stock rise throughout the day.

A kid who plays with relentless energy, she is going to go from small-town kid to someone who is going to put her squad on the map. She didn’t shy from competition as she battled and did her thing in the low block areas. She showed her physicality, her relentless effort to put the ball in the hole. What I loved about her the most was her ability to establish herself in the class. She has a high basketball IQ, a kid who can definitely operate in multiple areas, schemes, and exploit weaknesses. Look for her to have a breakout year.
