2026 6-0 PF Addison Smith – Winder-Barrow
It is shocking to me that Addison Smith doesn’t hold any offers. I feel like she is one of the best post sleepers the state has to offer due to her unique blend of size, strength and lights-out three-point shooting. Smith is flying under the radar. She did not play travel ball this season, didn’t have a social media presence until today and Winder-Barrow didn’t participate in GBCA Live this June. With all that being said, a college program will be fortunate to discover Addison as her skill set transitions well to the next level. She has proven to be a competitive, physical interior presence that does well sealing and calling for the ball. While she didn’t get many opportunities to showcase her offensive skill in five-on-five game play – nothing out of the ordinary for post players in camp settings – Smith made the most of her chances in station work as she drilled three-pointer after three-pointer from the corners, standing out as one of the best shooters in the gym. Addison checks a lot of boxes. She would be a nightmare to cover in high ball screens with her pick-and-pop shooting range. Her brother Conyer currently plays at Georgia College. I view her as a legitimate option at the D-II level and a no-brainer for NAIA and D-III schools.

Taylor Clark
2027 5-8 G Taylor Clark – Commerce
Back home in the GHSA at Commerce after Lakeview Academy’s roster disbanded, Clark will be an impact maker and an All-State candidate right away. I’ve watched her grow yearly as she has been a regular at showcase camps in the area. The southpaw has been an elite defender since her freshman season. She picks up full court and has an uncanny ability to move her feet, anticipate where ball handlers are going and come away with steals. Her right hand has been shored up over the course of her career, able to get downhill and finish. Her jump shot is steady enough to warrant the defense’s attention. She netted some corner threes during game play and served as an infectious energy supplier for her team.

2026 5-11 W Azil Hazzard – Therrell
A prolific scorer who averaged 23.4 points and 12.8 rebounds, Hazzard is a handful to guard as a serious point producer. Azil has a knack for scoring the ball. She plays physical on downhill drives, absorbing contact on her way to the rim. Hazzard has the ability to shoot from beyond the arc although it isn’t her primary method of attacking. She tends to shoot the ball slightly out instead of up from distance, but is more effective from 15-feet and in, good at getting to turnaround jumpers around the paint. Azil gets off the ground quickly for rebounds and is active with her hands when it comes to digging out steals and altering shots inside. Hazzard has the talent to warrant a spot on a college roster.

2027 5-8 G Jasiah Wymbs – Cedar Shoals
It’s hard to peg what position Jasiah is; she is simply a ball player. With her powerful build and overall aggressiveness, Wymbs is capable of playing 1-5. Her physicality leads to rebounds, tough drives to the rim and overwhelming on-ball pressure defense. Jasiah rebounds well and looks to push coast-to-coast off the rim. In the halfcourt, Wymbs has nice moves with the ball, her most impressive play of the night a sidestep three-pointer. With Jasiah’s strength, toughness and skill, I think what I appreciate most aside from those traits and her versatility is just how hard she plays. Her grittiness could be enough to lead Cedar Shoals to a few more wins this season.

Ka'Mya Washington
2026 5-5 G Ka’Mya Washington – Jackson County
Ka’Mya is at her best when she lets her energy and athleticism take over. Washington can be shot out of a cannon, a true sparkplug with her two-way play. She uses her speed to split defenders downhill before either taking long strides to gather for layups or laser in assists to open teammates on the block. Washington has a knack for playmaking with her vision. When she is protecting the ball and not forcing things, she can take over games with her instincts. Defensively, Washington is quick to jump into passing lanes for steals and isn’t afraid to get on the floor to dig out loose balls. Ka’Mya will be a tone setter when she can consistently fly around on defense to give second and third efforts even when tired. If Washington can increase her shooting efficiency from the mid-range and foul line, she could be among the state’s top stock risers her senior season. Young Harris showed interest after watching her at the Sandy’s Spiel Fall League.

Emilou Moore
2026 5-4 G Emilou Moore – East Jackson
Emilou cashed in on the East Jackson Showcase platform, picking up an offer from Reinhardt at the conclusion of camp. Moore looks the part. She has great fundamentals to pair with her strong frame in the backcourt. Emilou is tight with her movements, fluid when pushing the pace. Capable of playing either guard position, I liked Moore best off the ball with how consistently well she was able to set her feet on the catch for three-point attempts. She looked comfortable on her homecourt being a vocal leader among campers.

Adelyn Thompson2027 5-6 G Adelyn Thompson – Rabun County
Any time there is an opportunity to get better Adelyn Thompson takes it. A day after showcasing her skill at the PrepGirlsHoops Expo, Adelyn was back at it closer to home at East Jackson. Thompson was the most decorated player at camp, an All-State guard with big game experience. Adelyn is a tremendous three-point shooter who also combos as a playmaking lead guard. She makes good decisions out of the pick-and-roll as both a pocket passer and a lead touch passer, floating assists over the heads of the defense. I expect a monster year for Adelyn as she will be moved off the ball to play alongside Millie Southards which should lead to a plethora of open three-point attempts. For a Rabun County team with legitimate expectations to play for a state title, don’t be surprised to see Thompson flirt with 15-20 points per game over her final two seasons.

2027 5-9 W Meav Fouts – Chestatee
Meav found her comfort zone in the corners as she nailed multiple threes during 5-on-5 play. The floor spacing combo-forward was effective when given room to shoot off the catch. Fouts has some versatility, able to play both on the block and on the perimeter. Defensively, she primarily defended in the post and did a nice job collecting rebounds.

2026 5-10 W Jamya Weaver – Chestatee
Jamya looks like the part. She has grown into a long-limbed athlete that can spend time inside and out. While her ball skills and overall offensive game aren’t necessarily her strongest attribute, Weaver is still capable of hitting open jumpers from both the mid-range and three-point line. When she plays aggressive and lets her length and athleticism flourish, she can be effective rebounding and defending. The lefty is a nice wild card who can sporadically make positive contributions that lead to wins. She will play an important role her senior season as a veteran.

2026 5-5 G Vi’Tory Williams – Commerce
It was a good day for Vi’Tory as she made an impact in multiple ways. Williams flashed the ability to go coast-to-coast in transition. In the half court, she used her blend of speed and strength to turn corners on high ball screens to get downhill. As camp wore on, she began to loosen up the defense with jumpers from the mid-range and three-point line.

2027 5-8 W Arianna Patman – Commerce
The All-Region swingman showcased her versatility throughout camp. Patman was able to attack from the wings using her size and strength to create mismatches off the dribble. She found some baskets from the short corner off the catch when playing inside. Patman’s energy was reflected with the amount of rebounds she was able to pull down.

2027 5-3 G Erin Barlow – Griffin
Erin made the trip all the way from Griffin to get better and get seen by college coaches and scouts. Her presence was felt after her late arrival, shining as a shifty playmaker in the backcourt. She knocked down perimeter jumpers and was able to penetrate and draw fouls on drives. Erin had wiggle with the ball, able to shake defenders before deciphering whether to shoot or facilitate. I thought she did a nice job mixing it up on defense as well, using her strong undersized frame.

2027 5-10 C Maleiah Johnson – Winder-Barrow
Impressive in size and stature, Maleiah did the dirty work inside collecting rebounds and scoring on dump offs. She can play physical, able to seal for lobs over the top of the defense. Defensively she can be useful with her ability to body up opponents and contest shots.

2026 5-5 G Nia Seay – Winder-Barrow
Nia’s calling card is her athleticism and overall quickness. Seay moves well laterally giving her potential to grow as a perimeter defender. She has a highly unorthodox jump shot, but she shoots the ball confidently from deep and hit some threes from the corners.

2027 5-4 SG Oaklee Jackson – Habersham Central
Quickly it is apparent that Oaklee both loves and understands the game at a high level. Jackson provides consistent effort. She knows where to be on both sides of the ball and plays within herself while being a supportive teammate. Jackson is most dangerous from beyond the arc on catch-and-shoot threes. She is capable of putting the ball on the floor to facilitate in short bursts. Oaklee is working hard to bring her game to the next level as she is becoming a fixture on the offseason camp circuit.

2026 5-7 F Jariah Thomas – East Jackson
I thought Jariah closed camp strong. Thomas was able to slip into soft spots of the defense to catch and finish in the paint. She did well getting on the glass both offensively and defensively and was able to convert at the rim when fouled.

2028 5-5 W Zariah Gillespie – East Jackson
Gillespie has promise for a sophomore. A sturdy multi-positional piece, Zariah can be used in a variety of ways. I thought she showed toughness when attacking from the wing, using spin moves in traffic. Listed at 5-foot-5, Zariah played bigger than her size as she was able to outmuscle opponents for rebounds and loose balls.
