Ryleight Larry gives me plenty to like in the frontcourt! She brings strength around the basket, works for rebounding position, and can turn second chances into points. Her game also includes a midrange touch, giving her an option beyond finishing inside.

What I appreciate is how those skills can help a team possession after possession. Protect the paint, secure the rebound, and make the defense work on the other end. Her communication is another part of her game worth building on.

For our Millsaps “New Names, Big-Time Potential” spotlight, Ryleight is a young prospect I want to keep following. As she sharpens her footwork and becomes more decisive with the ball, there’s room for her impact to grow. Keep working, Ryleight—there’s a strong foundation here!

Ryleigh Larry Ryleigh Larry 5'11" | C/PF Airline | 2029 State LA showed up and showed out at the Louisiana Expo. The 5-foot-11 post prospect was physical around the basket, attacked the glass and created hard-earned putback opportunities. She embraced contact, battled underneath the rim and consistently used her size to establish a strong interior presence.

What made Larry especially impressive was her defensive versatility. Despite being a post player, she displayed smooth hands and quick reactions, picking opponents’ pockets and creating turnovers—even against guards. She protected the painted area with blocks, controlled the boards and refused to allow easy opportunities around the basket.

Larry was balling and banging in the paint while also making plays outside of it. Her combination of rebounding, rim protection, physicality and surprising ability to generate steals made her one of the Louisiana Expo’s most impressive defensive performers.
