Morgan shot the three very well, she was terrific in the mid-range working her way to a game high 31 points. She was able to create space despite being closely guarded for the entire game. She had a smooth pull up off of the wrap-around dribble that had the defender in a daze as the ball was going through the hoop. Then there was the fade away and floater off of one leg that were pro-level moves. However, I was most impressed with her inside positioning where she was able to post and seal the defender for an easy drop step and finish.

Morgan is one of the most underrated players in the conference, but is starting to get her due. She will be leading the charge for the Cadets and will be asked to do a lot. The good thing is that she has a lot in her game to give and have the experience of two rings. She has few weaknesses as she can dribble, shoot and defend.

There is a reason she is a Top 60 player in the Class of 2026. She plays with poise and tempo and under control. She scored at all 3 levels against NJ Shoreshots and Empire State P24. She is very smooth in all facets of the game and is willing to go out and guard the ball hard on the defensive end for her Germantown Lady Panthers team.

Morgan has shot up dramatically in the class rankings and for good reason, the do everything guard has emerged from the shadows of some of the all-Americans she’s played behind and is showing what she is actually capable of. She has excellent size for a guard and the skill and ability to contribute to a college program today. Lucky for us she has another high school season to complete.
