Expert Analysis
Byron Xerxes Livsey | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
The perfect blend of strength and agility.. Taji’s skillset as a point forward is sharp and aggressive. She can hurt you from all over the court, and she knows when to play small and when to use her frame to get where she needs to. She has gotten better each year.. and remains a key focal and dominant piece for McAuley.

I had the opportunity to watch
Taji Alexa
Taji
Alexa
5'10" | SF
Mother McAuley | 2027
State

of Mac Irvin Fire multiple times throughout the weekend and each time she was doing something positive to help out her team. Alexa is listed as a SF at 5’10 but I see her more as a CG/SG with how well and how much she like shoot the basketball from the outside. When Alexa has space, she isn’t afraid to let it fly and she makes a good amount of her attempts too. There are times that if she is overplayed on her shot, she will put it on the ground and get to the bucket for a finish through contact or for a hard take leading into free throw attempts. Alexa has a well rounded skill-set. If she continues to work, who knows where she might be able to take things in the future.

Alexa had me thinking about asking Alexa how good Alexa was, yet I don’t need a virtual assistant to tell me what I saw. She’s a “long and athletic” guard, which is the base, and does a good job scoring off the dribble and finishing after contact, body control played a part in that. She uses her athleticism on both ends, her “on the ball” pressure was solid, and she played the passing lane

Alexa seamlessly gets better and better every time I see her play. The athleticism and energy have been there from the beginning, but now with her having more body control and a stronger feel around the rim, there is no doubt she is one of the top forwards in this class.

There’s reasons why Taji is one of the top ballers in Illinois! For starters, she has fantastic court vision who can go coast to coast with ease! She makes it look easy. Great delivery, nice spin on the ball, beautiful dribble penetration!

Taji has been a name that has been in a ton of conversations about top talent in Illinois in this class. When coaches see her, they might see a tweener and not a true guard, but her offensive ability and athleticism has never been questioned. She is a true athlete who has solid skills in almost every area.

Taji has a strong shot at securing a D1 offer over the next couple of years. The only thing that might put a hold on that is her being a “tweener.” However, I could see her becoming a focal point for a high-major D2 program. Her skillset is guard-like, and she has the physical attributes to play the 3/4 position if needed. From every angle and spot, she can hurt you on the offensive end, and she’s been doing that plus more. She will be a name to watch over the next couple of years.

If you’re breaking down the film on Taji, so many things jump out even before you check the stats. The speed, quick reactions, and understanding of pace—Alexa’s game stands out in a way that’s different from most players in this class. The development is undeniable.

Taji is nowhere near her peak, and if she stays on her current trajectory, Alexa could find herself landing offers before the season is over. You just have to watch her play in person—film doesn’t do justice to how much she impacts a game.

If you’re looking for a do-it-all type of player, Taji fits that category. She has the athleticism, strength, and versatility that perfectly match her skillset. Explosive and high-energy. One of those players who could average a double-double in multiple categories.
