Mia had one of those “remember when” kind of days with Mio at Michigan Jam Live. Remember when Mia led Mio to the Fever Bracket Championship Game at Michigan Jam? From start to finish, she was dialed in. Mia bulldozed her way to the rim on physical drives and finished with excellent touch in traffic. She chased down rebounds and battled to defend the post. Some highlights from the Championship Game included: inside-out drive-and-layup, corner three, drives and absorbs contact for a finish off two, backdoor cut catch, switch to left finish off two, powerful drive left finish, spin move left and-one straight through the net, and a slot three off the dribble. Earlier in the tournament, Mia used her shoulder to get the defender off their spot and buried a smooth straightaway three off the dribble; she drained two deep bombs from the slot and only needed a foot of space to get her rhythmic release off with balance. Mia did a great job of kicking the ball out to her teammates, and they were solid as a group throughout the day. Based on what I saw of Mio’s squad and how they played against elite teams, I’m convinced that they have a unit with the skill, toughness, and chemistry to support their superstar, which is why I believe Mio is the Pre-Season favorite to win the D4 Championship next March. Mia announced her commitment to High Point yesterday and will be a fantastic addition to their program.

Mia set a single-season scoring record last year and is the only athlete in Michigan’s history to surpass 1,000 points in a season. That was playing 5v5 basketball, so imagine how difficult it’s going to be for teams trying to defend her in a 3v3 format! Mia can bulldoze her way to the basket, relying purely on her physical strength to score, or rip the nets from the mid-range and beyond the arc off silky smooth crossovers, pocket dribbles, and step-backs. Her presence and reputation will demand all of the defense’s attention. Mia is a Miss Basketball front-runner and the top-rated prospect taking the court. I’m excited to see the fireworks show she’s going to put on at Michigan Jam Live 3v3 with the Mighty Thunderbolts of Mio.

I saw the buzz on social media about Mia leading up to Session One back in the Spring and made a point to see her play. Not only was she getting buckets from just about anywhere over half court, she did so in entertaining fashion. I had her and the Michigan Mystics on my schedule early of teams to watch. With her size and strength at the guard position Mia is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams on the perimeter. Smaller guards were helpless as she smoothly rose up and knocked jumpers over their outstretched arms on the perimeter or she put them in a blender on the block using a variety of post moves to score. Bigger defenders who tried to guard her were helpless on the perimeter as she blew by them with one or two short, compact moves and got into the paint and scored. What Mia did really well this live period was knock down threes as the trailer after she made kick ahead passes to her teammates. She may have done that in the Spring, but not with the regularity she did these events. Her prep career is beyond impressive scoring over 2,000 points in her career already averaging an astonishing 42.8 points per game in three seasons, but McGregor has a real chance to become the all time leading scorer in the history of the state of Michigan. It’s no wonder why she has more division one offers than I can count. She is wanted by a lot of schools and that list will grow. The question remains for me is what Power Four schools are going to come in towards the end of her recruitment with offers and why haven’t they already.

Just because you know what’s coming doesn’t mean you can stop it. Mia is the focal point of the Mio offense, so defenses are always going to throw the kitchen sink at her to try to slow her down. She was completely dialed in at BCAM Reaching Higher. The team repped battle fatigue jerseys, and Mia looked ready to win the war in front of high-level college coaches. Her sharpshooting could be seen across the gym throughout the event. Mia went on a scoring spree where she knocked down four straight jumpers in a game from the mid-range and beyond the arc. She switched hands with ease, maintained her balance, and used her compact frame very well to create space from defenders to slash, shoot, or dish. Mia added a smooth three up top and another straightaway triple from way downtown. She’s on pace to set a new Michigan high school career scoring mark, and Mio should be one of the top D4 contenders with her leading the charge this winter.

Mystics 17U P24 left nothing to chance in the Diamond Championship Game. They jumped out to a huge lead early and never looked back. Mia was most effective at slashing to the rim, getting the advantage in front of the rim, creating driving lanes with her quick dribble combo moves/jabs, outmuscling defenders inside, and finishing. She absorbed contact on a drive to score a strong and-one layup with a soft touch high off the window, then completed the three-point play at the line. Mia finished with her left on a drive-by, sealed a defender after a cut, caught the lob entry with good hands, then scored with her left off two feet. She converted free throws at the line after drawing a foul on a drive, swiped the ball away on defense for another lefty finish, and went by again for another layup. Mia showed she has no problem going left and using that hand to score consistently in traffic. She led the squad in scoring and received Diamond Championship Game MVP honors.

It did not take long to see what all the fuss was about watching Mia play against YKS in the second half. She was in total control with the ball in her hands creating plays for herself and facilitating for her teammates. McGregor is a big, strong player who knows where the weight room is and knows how to use her strength. Defenders were bouncing off of her when she drove to the basket, including one play Mia flashed a quick combination of moves with her dribble before showing excellent footwork coming to a jump stop before finishing smoothly with her left hand on a contested layup. McGregor also drew fouls getting to the rim and shot the ball well from the free throw line. She showed a lot of confidence with her ability to handle the ball with heavy man to man pressure in the back court and initiating the offense. On the other end she was able to apply the same tight on ball pressure she faced herself. Mia earned three Division One offers in 24 hours with her play in Ohio (Penn, Northwestern, and Bowling Green) and the ever-growing list will only continue to grow with stellar play.

After shattering Michigan scoring records during her junior season at Mio and winning PGH Junior Player of the Year honors, Mia turned in an impressive All-Tournament First Team performance for Mystics 2027 P24 at the PGH MI College Tour. Her versatility, skill, physical strength, ability to create separation with her dribble, and dominance against AAU clubs featuring D1 talent proved to us that she belonged at the #2 spot in our latest rankings update. We felt the D1 offers would be pouring in soon and after a standout live period at The Clash, Mia now holds a Power Four offer from Northwestern while also picking up a MAC offer from Bowling Green State University.

Mia made a comprehensive impact for Mystics P24 17U on day one of the PGH MI College Tour. She split defenders to score a layup and finished through contact, then completed the three-point play at the line. Mia created steals on the defensive end and facilitated the ball effectively to open teammates for assists. She created a driving lane with an inside-out move, put her defender in jail with a hostage dribble, and bullied the defender with a strong drive through contact for the two-foot finish. Mia used great pivots to score a contested layup in traffic, drilled a slot three, and buried a smooth step-back triple off a step back. She protected the ball against a trap in the post using aggressive rips, then scored a tough layup with her left. Mia scored layups comfortably using either hand after beating defenders off the dribble and knocked down free throws efficiently at the line.

Mia had a season so statistically dominant that it’s likely to never be repeated again. Her 43.4 points per game is the sixth best in the country since 2000, according to MaxPreps. This is the second time in history that a high school girls’ basketball player from Michigan has led the nation in scoring. Mia broke her sophomore record of 41.2 points per game and became the first player in MHSAA history (boys or girls) to score 1,000 points in a season this year with 1,071. Mia also averaged 14.3 rebounds, seven assists, and 6.4 blocks per game. She won PGH x Foster Swift Sports Player of the Week for Jan. 18th-24th, becoming the 35th player in MHSAA history to pass 2,000 points, while putting up her 4th and 5th career 50-point games in the process. Mia led Mio to an 18-4 record (11-1 conference), North Star League-Little Dipper Co-Championship, and a District title after a 74-54 win over Hale. She is set to become the state’s second 3,000-point scorer and new career scoring leader as a senior.

Mia has proven to be a relentless scorer, capable of filling it up against any type of coverage thrown her way. Her shooting touch from deep stands out, as she comfortably extends her range well beyond the arc and connects with consistency. Even when defenses key in on her, face-guarding or sending extra help, she continues to find ways to put the ball in the basket. Mia’s confidence, shot-making ability, and knack for scoring in tough situations make her one of the most dangerous offensive threats on the floor.
