Brandon Fisher | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Ty’s transition will be one of the most intriguing storylines to follow this summer. At her previous school, she was consistently the focal point of opposing scouting reports, often facing double teams and being face-guarded to take the ball out of her hands. Now, she’ll join a program coming off back-to-back state championships and be surrounded by college-level talent which creates a much different environment than the one she has been accustomed to. While the adjustment may take time, it’s a move that aligns well with her aspirations of playing at the highest level as she’ll be challenged daily by talented teammates and elevated expectations. Grandview Prep looked like a completely different team in March than it did during the previous June live period, and it’ll be fascinating to see how this year’s group takes shape at the FABC Scholastic Live Period before continuing to develop chemistry and identity throughout the season.

Ty brought a physical, high-energy presence to the floor and consistently made winning plays. Her frame and strength stood out, especially on defense where she recorded multiple emphatic blocks and a well-timed tip block on a perimeter shot. She played with toughness offensively, drawing contact and converting and-one finishes while maintaining a high motor throughout the weekend. She also showed offensive control with a jump stop into a smooth 10-foot jumper and demonstrated a change of direction ability that allows her to create separation off the dribble. Ty is one of the most exciting players to watch in the state!

Ty is an elite athlete whose physical tools and upside immediately stand out when watching her play. She has the ability to rise up effortlessly around the rim and elevate into her mid-range jumper, making her a difficult cover in multiple areas on the floor. After being somewhat under the radar previously, she has started earning both regional and national attention this summer while playing with Duval Elite . She carried a heavy load for her high school team, but what has been especially impressive is how smoothly she has transitioned into a talented travel ball environment, which is not always an easy adjustment for players. Her strong play this weekend led to her first D1 offers from Seton Hall and Mississippi State. She will also be playing at Grandview Prep next season, which should only help accelerate her development and growth moving forward.

Ty is super crafty with the ball and did a nice job of using her body to create space for herself during the 3×3 part of camp. She has excellent bounce and sent away a ton of shots using her vertical and length. Her crossover is quick and hard to defend, and she did a great job of pushing the ball in transition. I was impressed to see her hit some outside shots which could take her game to the next level.

finished last season ranked 24th in the state, averaging 22.8 PPG with a season-high 44-point game. Ousley scores with a combination of athleticism and creative ball-handling, using quick crossovers and snatch-backs to keep defenders off balance as she attacks her spots. She now looks to showcase these skills against some of the best in her class. The question is: will she emerge as the top scorer at the Sophomore Showcase?

Ty has nice length for her size and made winning plays for her team in Orlando in the games I watched. She had some tough blocks on the defensive end and a nasty euro step on the offensive end. Towards the end of a tight game, she hit a big 3 ball from the corner and then proceeded to get a steal and score a huge And 1 for a win.

Tyaiwana is one of the best athletes in Florida’s 2028 class. Because of that, she’s made one of the biggest leaps in this update of the rankings. Her ability to get to the rim, distribute the ball, and score it from all three levels make her a name to know in South Florida.
