War Games 28.5 Underclassmen Top Performers

2025 6-0 W Miyah Holmes – Porter Sports – Grovetown
It’s getting hard to deny the fact that Miyah Holmes might be one of if not the best prospect in the entire 2025 class. Everything about her checks off as High Major upside. The length. The athleticism. The skill. The versatility. The motor. At 6-foot, Holmes can play any position on the floor. She’s smooth and agile on the wing, covering ground with long strides to get to the basket. She’s a skillful finisher downhill that also has great footwork with her back to the basket when scoring inside. Miyah isn’t limited to just scoring in the paint. She is a competent three-point shooter that will space the floor, opening even more driving lanes. Holmes had 16 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block playing up against 17U Team Tre. Western Carolina became her first D-I offer two weeks ago. I would be shocked if Holmes doesn’t pry away a few more offers after this weekend. The sky is the limit.

2025 5-6 PG Alex Whitecliffe – North Georgia Magic – Cherokee
Quickly becoming one of my favorite young guards north of Atlanta, Alex Whitecliffe has impressed me every time I’ve watched her this offseason. The lacrosse standout is a bundle of energy. She’s a quick-footed athlete that bounces around and provides infectious effort. Her first step helps her break down the defense but it was her outside shooting that really lit it up in a controversial 56-55 loss. Whitecliffe caught fire, knocking down three quick threes in the second half. She nailed her first from the corner then sank two off the dribble. Even when she’s not scoring, Whitecliffe positively influences games. Her nose for the ball and eagerness to go rebound has been a consistent factor in the multiple games I’ve watched her play this summer. She tallied 11 points and 7 rebounds vs. Lady Attack. I expect schools to fall in love with her game over the course of her career. Alex has hard working winner written all over her.

2025 6-3 C Janaye Walker – Porter Sports – Baldwin
Janaye Walker was a big reason why Baldwin went 26-3 and made it to the Final Four in Class 4A last season. Walker is a mountain of a woman. She is nearly impossible to get around inside. Janaye seals extremely well on the block and has soft hands to catch lobs over top of the defense if they try to front her. Once she catches around the rim, there’s not much defenses can do to challenge her. Walker finished with 10 points and 4 rebounds against Team Tre. As long as she maintains her mobility, with her size and scoring touch inside, D-I schools will be all over Janaye.

2025 5-11 W McKayla Hosley – Porter Sports – Northside-Columbus
Following a quiet first half, McKayla Hosley led the charge in the second half, getting aggressive using her vast array of skills. Hosley has a great tool box to work with. Her length and athleticism are major pluses but so is her Swiss Army Knife skill set. McKayla can attack off the dribble and finish with a floater. Though she’s wiry, Hosley has the functional strength to convert And-1s through contact.  McKayla is adept at pushing the ball in transition going coast-to-coast for buckets. Well-balanced, Hosley also has a dangerous three-point shot which she can score with in bunches once her first drops. McKayla tallied 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Porter Sports may have the most dynamic cast of versatile young players in Georgia, all from outside of Metro Atlanta. Hosley is a headliner that will draw college coaches to every game they play.

2025 5-5 PG Gracie Byford – Team Tre Teal – Villa Rica
If you’re a bit undersized, you have to find a way to separate yourself from others. Gracie Byford has that part figured out, as she plays with a chip on her shoulder and uses her three-point shot to blitz defenses. Byford was the catalyst for Team Tre Teal in a 40-37 loss, netting 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. She’s a fiery player that will supply trash talk once she’s in the zone. Byford is shifty with the ball. She creates separation well as she shoots off the dribble. Gracie has pull-ups and step-backs in her arsenal. Often times one of the smallest players on the floor, Byford usually is the most confident. She’s a dangerous scorer and an improving playmaker that sees the floor. She has a little Courtney Davis (Fannin County) in her game.

2025 5-11 PF Jasmine Baxter – FBC Supreme Team – Galloway
No young big impressed me more this past week than Jasmine Baxter. Baxter is a physical powerhouse on the low block. She seals extremely well and has a variety of moves to turn to. Jasmine can score with hook shots or simply overpower defenders with backdowns. She is a go-to workhorse down low. Baxter is a foul magnet as teams struggle to deny her position and challenge shot attempts. While her height may limit exactly how high her recruitment will go, make no mistake that Baxter is a beast in the paint.

2025 5-5 PG Mia James – FBC Supreme Team – Hebron Christian
George Washington and Towson have both offered this offseason. Expect plenty more schools to jump in after her showing at War Games. James, a transfer from Mt. Vernon Presbyterian to Hebron Christian, looks like one of the best young playmakers in a guard-heavy 2025 class. She was the engine in Supreme Team’s win over FBC Hoopstarz. James is lightning quick in transition. She’s dangerous as both a scorer and facilitator. MJ can hit the pull-up jumper, the three off the bounce or get all the way to the rim. Listed at 5-foot-5, James makes up for her lack of height with her athleticism. She has an impressive vertical leap when securing rebounds and elevating for layups. Her ability to control the tempo and make things happen will have Hebron Christian as a favorite to win Class 3A.

LeLe Morris2026 5-6 G LeLe Morris – North Georgia Magic 2026 – Lambert
I’m bullish on Lambert’s future, a talented cast of 2025 and 2026 youngsters. LeLe Morris could find herself in a substantial role early on in her career. Laura Leigh has a good feel for the game and a nose for the ball. She rebounds very well from her guard position and is a competent ball handler against pressure. Morris has a good frame and won’t get pushed around at the varsity level. She was able to score all her points in the paint, collecting 11 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in a 42-37 victory.

2026 5-3 PG Camryn Golston – FBC Supreme Team 2026 – St. Francis
The next talented guard to come through the St. Francis pipeline will be Camryn Golston. She was terrific at getting downhill against Texas Flight Elite National, finishing with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals while going 3-7 from the foul line. Golston has a quick handle that breaks defenders down. Her floater is a great weapon to combat length.
