Thanks, I can't wait to see the spectacular talent in person!

This Extraordinarily Quick 2028 PG/Lead loves open spaces but uses craftiness and shifty changes in direction to keep longer defenders off balance and operate in crowded areas as well. Maintains total control of the pace of play and reads the court to determine how to spread the wealth and keep everyone involved. Communicator--puts players in position to be successful. Scrappy rebounder and ball hawk gets second chances for her team offensively and frustrates the opposition by getting steals from behind in transition... @FiveStateHoops @WBBGems @coachbeechum @WoodsRecruiting

This 2027 SG/Wing slides through defenses with long stride dribble penetration and paint touches. Forces defenses to rotate and pitches out to teammates sliding on the perimeter or cutting to the post. Uncanny ability to make plays and change direction off the dribble with her off (left) hand. Excellent shooter in the primary break as a wing streaker and can do damage by middle trailing and decision making from the high or low post. Good mobility and length inside (6'0") to finish over back line defenders. Competes defensively and gets into passing lanes for steals... @FiveStateHoops @WBBGems @coachbeechum @WoodsRecruiting

This 2027 Wing Shooter displays a lightning-quick release and outstanding touch/accuracy from midrange to 22 feet on the catch. Unselfish spacer and ball-mover--No wasted dribbles as an outlet or early receiver on the break. Pitches ahead to open teammates and runs her lane to force the transition defense to flatten. Plus-level recovery skills as a defender. Good foot movement with the ability to force the dribbler baseline and cut off penetration at the block without the need for rotation help from bigs. @FiveStateHoops @WBBGems @coachbeechum

This 2027 PG/CG/Lead brings a no-nonsense approach to the game -- preferring simplicity over flair and using body positioning & leveraging techniques to counter defenders' aggressiveness. On the catch, she patiently walks/stride steps into middle screen n roll actions, collapses coverages and makes great decisions. Old school jab step misdirection drives, eye-fake low crossovers then midrange pullups or Euro finishes with either hand on the challenge. Quick-release 3-point range from wings & top of key to force over the top ball coverage and repeat the cycle... @FiveStateHoops @WBBGems @coachbeechum @WoodsRecruiting
