I thought about getting an early start on the drive home, but South Lyon’s squad convinced me otherwise during their final game at the Plymouth Summer League. Rylee has length and athleticism that immediately grabs your attention when she steps onto the court. She swiped the ball away, pushed it the length of the floor, and finished a left-handed layup off two feet. Rylee used a crossover dribble to get just enough space to drop in an and-one floater over a lanky defender in the paint. She utilized her long arms to block shots around the basket and poked the ball away for steals. Rylee covers ground in a hurry when she closes out to contest perimeter shots and has a high vertical leap. She gets downhill to score layups and can knock down jumpers on the perimeter. Rylee will be the next big-time basketball prospect at South Lyon.

Rylee made a great impression during South Lyon’s Regional Semifinal game vs. Hartland. Her length and athleticism are features of a prototypical wing.
