Chris Gay | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
El Dorado is off to a poor start this season, with only a 2-9 record. Despite this, Makhiya Tillis Makhiya Tillis 5'11" | PF/C El Dorado | 2026 State AR has had some great performances this season. When she plays well, El Dorado has a better chance to win games.
In a win over 6A Little Rock Southwest, Tillis had a double-double, posting 14 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. One night later against Drew Central, Tillis had another double-double, this time with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 1 block.
Tillis mostly plays with her back to the basket, and once she receives the ball in the post, she is ready to go to work. She backs down her defender until they are too deep to apply adequate defensive pressure. Tillis can turn and score against her defender, but I would like to see her become a more consistent finisher.
Tillis is a fantastic rebounder on both ends, evident by her back-to-back double-doubles. She crashes hard on both ends, boxing out the opposition and immediately going back up with the second-chance opportunity on offense. Tillis is a lot to deal with inside, and she provides solid rim protection to go along with her great rebounding and post scoring.
Makhiya Tillis Makhiya Tillis 5'11" | PF/C El Dorado | 2026 State AR is a two-way star for El Dorado High School, and I believe she is not finished. There are still improvements that she can make this season, but as of now, there are clear signs as to why she is a part of the 2026 rankings.
