Shaniyah Stout Shaniyah Stout 5'8" | PF Elkhart | 2026 IN made a strong impression at her position, consistently showing her ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She demonstrated excellent activity and awareness, moving well without the ball to find open spots and create scoring opportunities. During the 5-on-5 session, Shaniyah displayed a high basketball IQ, positioning herself effectively in the corners and wings to knock down open shots when teammates found her. Her ball-handling skills stood out, particularly in transition. She confidently pushed the pace, making smart decisions while attacking the rim and creating opportunities for herself and others. What was most impressive, however, was her physicality and strength with the basketball. When driving to the basket, she was able to absorb contact, finish through defenders, and consistently put pressure on the defense. As she enters her senior year at Elkhart, Shaniyah is poised to be a major contributor on both offense and defense. Her combination of strength, skill, and basketball IQ makes her a versatile player capable of impacting the game in a variety of ways, and she should continue to be a go-to option for her team.

Shaniyah is a much more unique type of prospect, not as similar to the other girls on this list. Instead, Shaniyah is a strong, powerful, and very physical forward who almost “bullies” her way through the paint. She has quick feet for her frame, plus she has a balance of skill that can be utilized at each of the three levels. She has some touch to the perimeter, she can put it on the floor a little bit, and she outplays her height in the paint. She is a tough-nosed rebounder/defender, and she is willing to do a lot of those “little things” that help her team win.
