Adedokun’s athletic abilities have been obvious since day 1. Standing at 6 feet tall, the West Central United center is incredibly lengthy, light on her feet, and can elevate over defenders in a way that most post players cannot. While her skillset is still relatively raw compared to many in the class of 2028, the top 50 prospect has been steadily building the foundation, brick by brick. For those willing to play the long game, the Moorhead junior’s development will be worth the wait.

There are opportunities for everyone at the Freshman Showcase but these events are perfect for prospects like Nadia. We had watched her a little this summer but on Sunday morning, facing some of Minnesota’s top 9th graders, it quickly became obvious that Adedokun has the raw material to be a top 50 prospect. She’s tall and long and athletic, with natural instincts, innate quickness and the type of explosiveness you simply can teach. Right now she’s as green as grass. Having just turned 14, with very limited basketball experience, Nadia has a long way to go in skill development, but she showed the ability to do things most players cannot. We suspect there are big things ahead.
