Syla Swords

Syla Swords – 2024 – Long Island Lutheran (NY)

This guard is headed to Michigan next year and I’m sure the Wolverines can’t wait! Syla is so ridiculously skilled! She’s a lights out shooter, that can shoot with efficiency off the catch, dribble or screen. Her ability to get quick shots up is such an asset. She’s a very sure ball handler as well and can play either guard spot. She defends very hard and does everything her team needs her to win.

Sarah Strong

Sarah Strong – 2024 – Grace Christian School (NC)

One of the top unsigned prospects in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Sarah has really good size and great hands. She has very good touch on her jump shot, and decent range. She showed a tendency to settle for outside shots as opposed to dominating and getting buckets inside, but her shot looks nice enough that its going to be an asset for her.

Deniya Prawl

Deniya Prawl – 2025 – IMG (FL)

This big guard can do it all. She shoots the ball very accurately, with pure form and technique. She is over 6’ and can still put the ball on the ground and finish in a variety of ways. She doesn’t need much space to use her strength and stature to seal a defender and get baskets, often resulting in free throws. Great passer and rebounder as well, so much upside for this junior!

Jordyn Palmer

Jordyn Palmer – 2027 – Westtown (PA)

Advanced beyond her age physically, mentally and as a package of skills. Jordyn plays at the rim, can’t be stopped from getting to the rim and knows exactly what to do when she gets there. Her diversity of moves going to the rack is tremendous. Spin moves, euro steps, hesitations, power moves and everything in between. She always plays with poise and is never out of control or forcing the issue. She plays off the floor, and with incredible strength and body control.

Cearah Parchment

Cearah Parchment – 2025 – Fort Erie International Academy (CAN)

Phenomenal talent that can score inside or outside. Her stroke from deep is very advanced for a player of her size, but the moment you overplay the three, she’ll go around you and create in the paint. She’s very hard to stop in transition, with a head of steam she will almost certainly get a layup. She is very comfortable playing off the floor around the rim and uses her intensity and strength to finish and get to the line quite a bit.

Maddy McDaniel

Maddy McDaniel – 2024 – Bishop McNamara (MD)

This future Gamecock is a ball of energy and can’t be stopped! She plays at an unmatched speed, yet still under control. Plays an elevated game off the floor, making her almost impossible to stop at the rim. She plays so intensely and full of passion, never taking any plays off. Maddy plays a lot like a former USC great, Zia Cooke, that will be a welcome sight!

Justine Henry

Justine Henry – 2025 – The Mary Louis Academy (NY)

Your throwback, composed, run the offense, have patience, and make plays for teammates type PG. Don’t get it twisted though, Justine can put the ball in the rim! She’s exceptional in the PNR, it may be her greatest asset. She Is patient, and makes great reads, knows where to go with the ball, not afraid to pull the trigger when needed. She is very long, everyone is in search of a near 6’ PG! She defends, creates a lot of turnovers and gets out in transition quickly.

Kayleigh Heckel

Kayleigh Heckel – 2024 – Long Island Lutheran (NY)

Kind of a clone to her fellow backcourt mate Syla Swords, she shoots the heck out of the ball, at a very high efficiency, while shooting tougher shots than most. She’s got more of an aerial game when she gets in the paint, she will lift off on you and finish high. Just love how under control she always is, and how she always playing at the right pace, while valuing the ball. When she gets to Southern California the Trojans are going to be very happy!

Jasmine Bascoe

Jasmine Bascoe – 2024 – King’s Christian Collegiate (CAN)

Perhaps the most dominant player of the weekend. With Jasmine’s passion, skill set and intensity despite not being prototypical size, she will quickly become a women’s basketball darling once she gets in the living rooms of fans at Villanova. Her offensive arsenal is vast, she is a perimeter maestro with her pure jumpshot, ability to step back, use or deny screens and break ankles on the arc. She is incredible at getting in the paint and finding open players. She’s the real deal, it won’t be long before the whole world knows.

Kate Koval

Kate Koval – 2024 – Long Island Lutheran (NY)

Kate is quite possibly the most dominate post player in the country. The Ukrainian national is heading to Notre Dame next year and she is ready! Her post moves are incredible, and her size puts her up there with any big she’ll face. She runs much better than you’d expect, and she has no problem playing at any pace. She uses both hands very effectively and can face the basket some as well. Her size and strength alone make her a dominant force, add in the skill, great footwork, excellent hands, and you have a very scary post presence.
