Mackenzie unfortunately missed the entire Spring and a little of the Summer, but she is definitely an uncommitted prospect several of the Midwest’s best small colleges would enjoy adding to their programs. She has a strong frame, she’s tough and physical at the point guard position, plus she can handle, distribute, shoot, or get downhill North/South. While college Freshman tend to struggle with contact in their first year, Mackenzie is someone who I think is set up to succeed immediately because of her frame and how she competes.

Mackenzie missed a giant portion of the 2024 grassroots season injured, but she finally returned for some action in July, and hopefully that was enough for curious schools to make a decision on her. She is a strong, fairly athletic point guard who does a nice job of taking care of the basketball. She uses her frame well to get downhill, but she also has good vision and can find open teammates in positions to score. What I like most about her game is her competitive fire and willingness to seek contact as a guard. I think she could be a nice recruit to get on late for some of the Midwest’s elite small colleges.

It was nice finally seeing Mackenzie back on the court after missing a great deal of the Spring injured. She is a strong, athletic point guard who always plays with a motor. She can take care of the ball and handle pressure, she can absorb contact and get to the basket to finish, plus she is a willing and capable distributor. Additionally, she’ll knock down open rhythm jumpers, if you play too far off of her. There have been several schools wanting to see her, so her recruiting should pick up quickly.
