Kynlee Swain | 6’1” SF | GA

Tremendously versatile wing that showed great promise as an inside-outside threat. Shot the ball well from the perimeter and displayed comfortable footwork when operating in the post. Wasn’t afraid of physicality and did a great job rebounding the basketball. Also created in transition and consistently found ways to make others around her better. Has size, skill and versatility that really stood out. National level talent in my opinion.

Marley Walker | 5’7” PG | GA

Incredibly polished combo guard at a young age. Gets to where she wants whenever she wants and already has a strong feel for creating offense. Has a strong handle, creativity, shotmaking ability and athleticism. Did a good job creating space for herself and rarely looked uncomfortable with the ball in her hands. Really skilled young guard with several different ways to create offense.

Hailey Starr | 5’6” PG | GA

Lengthy young guard with good pace. Made it a priority to attack the paint and consistently made plays at or around the basket. Did a good job keeping pressure on the defense and getting downhill when opportunities were there. Played with good control and didn’t waste a lot of movement getting to where she wanted. Young guard that consistently found ways to get inside the defense.

Zacarria Brown | 5’3” PG | NC

Lefty that was a marksman from deep range and vocal from start to finish. Handled the basketball well and consistently got her team into its offense against varying levels of pressure. Made timely passes into the post and did a really good job seeing the floor. Also got into the paint and created for herself and others with her vision. Really good combination of shooting ability, ball-handling and feel at the point guard position.

Kalaya Little | 5’8” SG | NC

High level scorer off the bounce with good size and great intangibles. Wasn’t afraid to play physical and consistently attacked defenders when she saw an opening. Has a good first step, range on her jumper and finished well on both sides of the goal. Also showed underrated vision when the defense committed to stopping her. Really good scoring guard that showed she can make plays in more ways than simply putting the ball in the basket.

Kyleigh McCluskey | 5’10” SF | GA

Double double machine over the course of the weekend. Played with a nonstop motor and consistently found herself around the basketball.

Amina Wade | 5’9” SF | GA

Non-stop motor, high skill level and high IQ for the game. Rebounds exceptionally well for her position. Also has a great looking jumper from deep range that gives her another way to score.
