Expert Analysis
Evan Bell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Leah springboarded up the rankings in our latest update. She has the potential to keep climbing the list as the offers start to mirror our projection. Athletically, fundamentally, and for all intents and purposes, she checks the boxes of a higher-level point guard. Leah operates with a high basketball IQ as a facilitator, has an explosive second gear when she puts her foot down and drives, scores with touch and strength in traffic, and is a confident three-point threat. Her nonstop motor results in many rebounds. She’s disruptive on the ball and in the passing lanes. Leah has been consistently impressive in front of our scouts throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Her performance at Michigan Jam Live 3v3 resulted in a selection to the All-Event Starting Five Team. She’ll be a key member of the Eisenhower lineup as they look to make it back to the Breslin Center. Leah currently holds an offer from Lawrence Tech University.

Leah is a 2028 guard I would love to get in front of college coaches at The Expo because of her ability to create offense for herself while also making plays for others. She can beat defenders off the dribble and get into the lane, where she has the vision to recognize when the defense collapses and kick the ball out to an open teammate. Leah can also stretch the floor, showing the ability to knock down shots from behind the arc and giving defenders another thing to account for. She brings effort to the defensive end as well, giving her the ability to contribute on both sides of the ball. Leah already holds an offer from Lawrence Tech, and with the skill set she continues to show, I expect more programs to take notice. The Expo would be another great opportunity to get her in front of college coaches and continue building her recruitment.

Leah is a guard who stuffs the stat sheet, has prototypical length, has another gear off the dribble, and can play facilitator, scorer, rebounder, and defensive playmaker. She was an impact player for Eisenhower at The Compound Fall League. Leah sprinted in to secure many rebounds on both ends of the court and showed off her athleticism by elevating way up into the air to high-point an offensive rebound in a crowd. She anticipated a pass on the perimeter, picked it off, and turned on the afterburners to score a fast-break bucket with her left hand. She accelerated down the baseline and side-stepped the final defender to score a soft finish off the glass, split the gap to score a drive-by layup, and attacked hard downhill to score a stretch finish.

Leah was expected to be a mismatch for opponents coming into Michigan Jam Live 3v3, and that’s exactly what she was. She kept her foot on the gas all day and played in a higher gear, making plays on both ends consistently for Eisenhower. Leah gave the team a perimeter threat, sinking a smooth corner three and another triple from the wing. She put a defender through a spin cycle in the paint and finished with a forward pivot off two feet. Leah attacked gaps to get to the free-throw line, knocked them down, scored drive-by layups, and added a strong and-one after securing the offensive board. I wrote down “blow-by layup” multiple times for Leah, and she definitely excelled in the 3v3 format. Eisenhower made a Breslin Center appearance last year, and they have the talent to make it back again this winter.

Leah has length, shiftiness, an explosive first step, court vision, and a dynamic skill set that will make her one of the toughest assignments to match for point guards at Michigan Jam Live 3v3. She penetrates off the dribble, finishes at the rim with finesse, has get-by-you speed, is disruptive on the defensive end, and stretches the floor with her outside shot. Leah has good off-the-ball instincts, and her versatility will make her a must-watch prospect on the floor with Utica Eisenhower.

Leah showed her ability to make plays for herself and others throughout the Northwood Elite Camp. During 3-on-3 action, she attacked the lane with confidence, beating her defender off the dribble for a bucket and later delivering a terrific drive-and-kick pass to an open teammate. Leah carried that attacking mentality into 5-on-5 play, where she knocked down shots from beyond the arc and competed hard on the defensive end. Her ability to create off the dribble, stretch the floor, and contribute defensively made her a guard who caught my attention at camp.

Leah, a guard for the Mystics, made a strong impression as a playmaker during the MI College Tour III stop at Grand Valley on Saturday. She used her length and ball-handling ability to navigate the floor with confidence, making smart decisions and keeping the offense flowing. She also showed she could stretch the defense, knocking down shots from beyond the arc. On the defensive end, she stayed engaged and competed, using her size and awareness to make an impact.

After a breakout sophomore year for Utica Eisenhower, Leah picked up right where she left off during her first tournament of the AAU season. Her versatility and impactful play in multiple categories stood out at the PGH MI College Tour. Leah has length, quickness, slashing abilities, and a perimeter game that makes her a tough matchup for guards or forwards. She finished with her left off two feet, buried a confident straightaway three, split defenders on hard drives, and made great dump-off passes for assists. Leah showed her speed in transition after securing defensive rebounds, poked the ball out for steals, and demonstrated great sportsmanship by helping an opponent up off the floor.

When you’re a guard with length, fundamental skills development, and aggressive instincts, that’s going to make you stand out as a college prospect. Leah made a first great impression a year ago and built on that foundation at the Select Super Showcase. She created transition offense with her up-tempo style and attacked gaps relentlessly off the dribble. Leah has excellent body control, footwork, and finishing ability around the basket. She’s an active defender and can score at all three-levels. Leah will be a key contributor for a dangerous Eisenhower team this winter.
