Manning also fits “familiar faces, new places”, as she’s now anchoring Edmond Santa Fe. Has impressed other PGH contributors and looked the part via highlights. She has the measurables that college coaches look for with height, power and athleticism. She’ll be looking to dominant the paint at the 6A level. Add in her ability to stretch the floor and a strong season could propel her into the conversation for best players in the class.

As mentioned in a previous article Kaylee Manning Kaylee Manning 6'1" | PF Edmond Santa Fe | 2027 State OK has transferred to Edmond Santa Fe from Harding Charter Prep. Kaylee adds size and depth to the Lady Wolves roster which looked much improved in the two events I watched this summer (Mustang Summer League and Edmond North Summer League).

I truly believe that Kaylee has a great up side of development to still reach. I watched the Santa Fe staff working with her during warm ups in defining what they wanted to do and the skill set to do it. Therefore why I say when season comes around Ms. Manning could be that impact player she has the potential to become. Definitely a player I will be watching as the Lady Wolves work to return among the 6a Power Houses

Power forward that has taken her talent to Edmond Santa Fe next season. Adds a great inside presence for the Lady Wolves that has been missing the past few seasons. Strong physical inside game that if you let her get that power dribble in minds well go ahead and count it. Adds that offensive rebounder that can get putback points off missed shots. A match up issue as well because she has an outside jumper to draw out the defender just enough to create driving lanes for guards. New place, new coach could mean trouble for some teams in Edmond Santa Fe district

Social Media Highlights

One of the premier rising post prospects in Oklahoma. Manning is running with Texas based Girls EYBL program, Drive Nation. Where she’s playing to size and making a big impact. Multiple blocks in the same possession. Finishing through taller players. All are promising signs for a forward prospect with an upside as high as her height and wingspan. Will be at Edmond Santa Fe this winter and will be tested with a Class 6A schedule. Expect her to pass those tests with flying colors.

Social Media highlights

Sophomore enforcer, who plays big around the rim on both ends of the court. Super long arms allows her to block her fair share of shots, by protecting the rim to even challenging shots in the mid-range. Played with same tenacity on offense, powering through attempts to stop her at the rim. Showed good promise when stepping out and draining a three. Great upside with a good combination of size and athleticism.

Inside force. Really good shot blocker, good defensive instincts in general. One play that impressed me, she got beat in transition and took a great angle to the goal and was able to block the shot. Gets nice position in the post, does a great job being a big target. Underrated skill of post players, Kaylee gets positioning well and lets you know where she wants the ball. Makes it so much easier for guards. Was able to get inside position and score on putbacks as well.

Big time upside on the defensive side of the ball with Manning’s combination of height, athletic ability and shot blocking potential. She has quality timing as a shot blocker and reads rebounds well on both ends of the court. With a promising mid-range game to go along with her defensive and rebounding capabilities, the sky is the limit for the 405 froward.
