RLEAD PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY

TEAM 1

Ja'mere Martin
2026 6-3 W Ja’mere Martin – Long County – GA Ignites
Sturdy wing can get hot in a hurry with his jump shot. Hits one-dribble pull-ups and threes off the catch. Gets his feet set when passes are in the air. Shot is flat but accurate once he sees one basket go in. Tough-shot maker. Solid defender with size.

Zyan Eastman
2026 6-5 PF Zyan Eastman – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe – Georgia Youth University Underdogs
Outworked everyone at camp. Tough-nosed forward was a nuisance in the paint. Most players didn’t even try to match his motor and physicality. Ran the floor hard. Chewed up the offensive glass. Scored on putbacks and post-ups. Finished with both hands and played above the rim. Blocked shots. Max effort post.

Tucker Engert
2028 5-10 PG Tucker Engert – Towns County – Georgia Generals/YBG
Multisport star has a quick first step along with a high IQ. Plays with pace in transition. Fires in touch lead passes over the heads of the defense for fastbreak layups. Sees the floor extremely well. Shoots the ball well off the catch and off the dribble. Has consistent three-point range. Didn’t sacrifice his fundamentals in a camp setting. Floor general with poise.

Fortune Hicks
2027 6-3 SG Fortune Hicks – Bradwell Institute – Gold Elite
Sprayed jump shots all camp long. Used a long crossover to set up defenders before pulling up from deep. Liked to stop on a dime in transition for twos and threes. A bit streaky but can go on scoring binges once he gets hot. Gets really good lift on his shot elevating to shoot over contests. Has the size, athleticism and skill to be a good downhill finisher. Needs to make sure he doesn’t settle too much for long jumpers. Flashed his two-way skillset as a long-armed on-ball defender. Tools to have a breakout senior season.

Khalid Jones
2027 5-8 PG Khalid Jones – Tri-Cities
Consistently broke down defenders off the bounce. Quick shifty playmaker penetrated for crafty finishes and drive-and-dish assists. Kicked out to shooters and found his big men at the rim. Plays at a high tempo. Knocked down pull-up threes in transition. Hustled on defense to poke away steals from behind. Slightly undersized guard was one of the most electric players in camp.

Dante White
2029 5-9 G Dante White – Long County – GA Bombers
Quick hands on defense and overall effort were calling cards. Did a good job contesting shots. Competed as an on-ball defender. Hustled back after missed shots to break up scoring opportunities. Solid athlete.

TEAM 2

Champion Bowman
2026 6-0 G Champion Bowman – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe – Chattanooga Elite
Strongly put together guard capable of playing either spot in the backcourt. Knocked down threes throughout camp and showed competency getting to his one-dribble pull-up. Patient decision maker with the ball. Played off two feet in traffic. Pushed the ball in transition with keen court vision. Physical defender on ball.

Kaleb Griffin
2028 6-3 G Kaleb Griffin – Memorial Day – Savannah Mavericks
Terrific elevation on his pull-up jumper. Sank shots from 15-feet and showcased a turnaround jumper. Active in the open floor whether filling lanes to score or facilitating. Showed court awareness cutting behind drives for dribble hand-off scoring chances. Used his athleticism to help protect the rim.

Vaishvik Pinna
2030 5-11 G Vaishvik Pinna – North Forsyth
Rising freshman. Thin. Moved well without the ball. Tried hard and provided a competitive spirit. Fit in with his team-first approach. Reps should help with his development.

Milos Copic
2026 6-8 W Milos Copic – St. Andrew’s – Redline
Great size on the perimeter. Moves well using a long striding euro step. Can be used in a variety of ways. Can stretch the floor as a small-ball big or serve time on the wing for the full duration. Three-point shot is clean and easy. Did well playing out of ball screens. Finished at the basket and passed well out of the post.

Ranier Whipple II
2028 6-0 G Ranier Whipple II – Calvary Day
Lanky guard shot the ball well from distance both off the dribble and off the catch. Nailed jumpers in transition while the defense was scrambling. Gets his feet set when running the floor for fastbreak catch-and-shoot threes. Has characteristics of becoming a disruptive perimeter defender.

Dominic LoPresti
2028 5-11 PG Dominic LoPresti – The King’s Academy – SEBA Warriors 2028
Shifty playmaker had a good day getting to his spots both as a scorer and as a distributor. Could rise up for pull-up jumpers but also dissected the defense with sharp bounce passes. Shot the ball well from beyond the arc off the catch. Heady on-ball defender. Pass-first guard rounding into becoming a consistent scoring threat.

Zayne Vaughn
2029 5-10 PG Zayne Vaughn – Long County – GA Bombers
Handles the ball well. Was quick to start fastbreaks, using his pitch ahead passing to lead streaking teammates to the rim. Utilized changes of speed as he probed in the halfcourt. Got shooters open looks out of high ball screens.

Brandon Betton
2027 5-9 PG Brandon Betton – First Preparatory Christian – Skills Sports Academy
One of the smallest guards in camp but still managed to orchestrate his team’s offense. Found success penetrating, squeezing into cracks of the defense before looking to kick out to shooters. Tried to get others involved more often than hunt his own shot. Proved to be a scrappy defender that could turn ball handlers.

TEAM 3

Jordan Smith
2027 6-2 G Jordan Smith – Murray County – Five Star
Tough guard scored through contact on drives. Mixed in pull-up jumpers. Effort led to hoops in transition by running the floor. Didn’t need to try to be flashy in order to be productive.

Teivion Walker
2027 5-11 PG Teivion Walker – ARC – Court Vision Basketball Academy
Built like a tank. Pound-for-pound one of the strongest players in camp. Loved how he sat down in stance every single defensive possession. Got to his pull-up jumper and used his physicality to create downhill as a facilitator.

Kaden Gore
2028 6-4 W Kaden Gore – Home School
Good size on the perimeter. Long and strong energy provider. Has a bit of a hitch at the top of his shot but showed the ability to knockdown corner threes. Crashed the glass to earn second chance opportunities. Cut without the ball for baskets. Poured into his defense helping defend 1-5.

Ryland Chambers
2027 6-1 SG Ryland Chambers – Union County – Redline
Strong upper body. Not the quickest but uses his strength and craftiness to get to the basket. Dropped in floaters and was able to finish through contact. Doesn’t get much lift on his jumper but knocked down a handful of threes. Was very aggressive hunting his shot throughout camp. Lateral quickness as an on-ball defender is an area of development. Competitive and comfortable competing at a high level. Handled pressure well.

Hayden Collins
2027 6-2 G Hayden Collins – Wilkinson County – Georgia Suns
Has improved each and every season becoming a more well-rounded player. Liked what he brought to the table offensively, mixing in slashes to the rim along with jumpers from 15-feet. Wiry guard has the toughness to finish in crowds. Smooth athleticism to the cup. High character.

Jaden Johnson
2028 5-10 G Jaden Johnson – Hillgrove
One of the best shooters in camp. Fills it up with his ability to get to where he wants to go, crafty using step-backs. Stripped the nets off the bounce and off the catch. On the smaller side but still manages to create enough separation for good looks at the rim. Quick to make ball reversals for open shooters. Dug out 50/50 balls.

Nate Hawthorne
2028 6-1 G Nate Hawthorne – Etowah – SEBA Warriors 2028
6-foot-1 but feels bigger with his presence on the floor. Plays hard. Rebounds the ball well from his position. Used his strength to burrow his way into the defense for finishes. Scored from both the mid-range and three-point line. Had no issue when asked to play in the frontcourt. Thrived in pick-and-roll settings and displayed great stamina and energy.

TEAM 4

Jourden Smoak
2027 6-3 W Jourden Smoak – Southwest DeKalb – Atlanta Panthers
Tough-nosed physical swingman played with a chip on his shoulder. Long and strong build. Attacked from all three levels. Absorbed contact on drives and dropped in mid-range pull-ups. Sparked his own offense by collecting rebounds and pushing coast-to-coast. Hit a handful of threes throughout camp. Has the wingspan and mindset to be a dogged defender.

Chase Brown
2028 6-3 SG Chase Brown – St. Andrew’s – Redline
Lefty has size and skill outside. Athletic guard likes getting to his jumper. Hit numerous pull-ups throughout, utilizing a crossover move to get a step on his defender. Nailed corner threes and elevated to finish at the rim with his strong hand. Was one of camp’s better defenders holding the switchability to guard all over the floor.

Braylen Hampton
2029 6-4 F Braylen Hampton – Long County
Intriguing flashes of long-term upside. Long and mobile with the ability to play inside and out. Posted up to score around the basket. Adding more strength to his frame will help him bang more effectively. Scored with a little floater inside. Showed confidence handling on the perimeter, helping push in transition. Sank corner threes and blocked shots. Has the makings of a versatile tweener who should manufacture mismatches.

Jadon Gonzalez
2028 6-2 G Jadon Gonzalez – Etowah – SEBA Warriors 2028
Did a nice job getting into the gaps on defense. Offensively he found his niche by attacking the hoop. Scored on a pretty And-1 finish out of a spin move. Got to his spots without getting bumped off line.

Cooper Winge
2028 CG 5-11 Cooper Winge – Evans
Got more comfortable as camp progressed. Shined as a shifty playmaker with wiggle. Crossover helped him get downhill. Scored with one-dribble pull-ups and spin-back jumpers. In transition he was able to push the ball all the way for And-1 buckets.

Kai Samuel
2029 6-2 W Kai Samuel – Long County – GA Bombers
Athlete can sit and defend the ball with lateral quickness and active hands. Aggressively hunts down rebounds both offensive and defensive. Does the dirty work to score on offense. Defense is his forte right now but has the tools to blossom into an effective offensive presence.

Zyi'Air Holt
2026 6-1 G Zyi’Air Holt – Long County
Hurt his back early in camp but still put in good work as a heady decision maker. Patiently probes defenses. Solid shooter from the mid-range and beyond. Likes to get others involved but is capable of putting his head down and getting to the rim. Rebounds the ball very well for a guard. Routinely fills up the box score. Embraces physical play on both ends of the floor.

TEAM 5

Zion Sandy
2027 6-0 G Zion Sandy – Lithonia – Elevate Sports Academy
Lanky guard has a smooth approach and steady energy. Slithers his way through the defense for layups. Showed a propensity for hitting mid-range pull-ups. Was most effective in catch-and-shoot settings. Although slender, made it a point to attack the glass.

Daniel White
2029 6-1 G Daniel White – Long County – GA Bombers
Fills lanes when running the floor. Has quality strength and size in the backcourt. Scored with a floater in traffic. Getting to the hoop was his best source of offense. Has the physical tools to become a strong defender with more development and attention to detail.

CJ Hammonds
2026 6-2 G CJ Hammonds – Cairo – TBO/Equal Shots
Plays at his own pace. Has a nonchalant feel about his game as he drains threes and gets to his step-back jumper. Finished drives with slam dunks. Well-rounded three-level scorer.  Quick release. Continuing to move without the ball will allow him even more open looks off the catch. Impressive offensive day. Respectful and coachable.

Page Getter
2028 6-3 SG Page Getter – St. Andrew’s – Redline
One of the best shot makers at camp. Sturdy guard plays through contact off two feet. Crafty finisher with scooping layups to evade shot blockers. Knows how to score against more athletic players. Knockdown shooter from beyond the arc. Got to his spots in the mid-range off the dribble. Quick hands as an on-ball defender.

Cordell Simmons
2026 6-3 W Cordell Simmons – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe – Underdogs
Bouncy athlete plays a power wing position. At his best as a downhill slasher. Can be effective on the glass. Kept the defense honest with some mid-range jumpers. GHSA Slam Dunk champion has potential to flourish at the next level. Defending and sticking to his strengths will make him an interesting target.

QuinTaris Tanner-Garrett
2026 5-9 PG QuinTaris Tanner-Garrett – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe – Chattanooga Elite
Undersized playmaker was shifty with the ball. Pass-first creator looked to penetrate and kick. Started to look for his shot more as camp went on, shooting pull-up threes and teardrop floaters. Like his speed and tenacity as an on-ball defender. Understands how to get others involved. Holds 12 offers.

Cedrick Brown
2029 6-0 G Cedrick Brown – Memorial Day – Savannah Mavericks
Skinny guard made plays on defense using his length to block shots. Hustled in transition to alter shots. Plays bigger than 6-foot. Knocked down jumpers when given space.

Nash Allen
2027 5-11 G Nash Allen – Murray County – Five Star
Negates his lack of size with his physicality. Broad, burly shoulders allow him to power through defenders. Smart player with how he moves without the ball. Catch-and-shoot threat from the corners. Crashed the offensive glass for tip-ins. Plays bigger than his size. Gritty two-way guard.

TEAM 6

Kenyatta Mays
2026 6-3 W Kenyatta Mays – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe
Lefty with major springs. Was at his best when he was attacking the basket. Effective offensive rebounder overwhelmed the opposition when they decided not to block him out. Caught an alley-oop off the backboard for a dunk. End-to-end speed to finish coast-to-coast. Adding range to his jump shot will really help his offensive versatility. Received high marks as an on-ball defender with switchability.

Tyson Matta
2028 6-3 W Tyson Matta – North Cobb Christian – SEBA Warriors 2028
Nice size on the perimeter along with an athletic long and strong frame that should continue to pack on muscle. Drilled threes off the catch. Has a chance to become a strong slasher. Pursued rebounds. Great positional versatility.

Brandon Connor
2028 6-4 W Brandon Connor – Marist – SEBA Warriors 2028
Every bit of 6-foot-4. Catch-and-shoot lefty spaces the floor and has a pick-and-pop skillset to work with. Nailed one-dribble sidestep threes. Manufactured buckets inside on the block and was agile enough to collect rebounds and go all the way for layups.

Brandon Stephens
2027 6-3 W Brandon Stephens Jr. – West Laurens – Georgia Suns
Swingman with length did a little bit of everything making plays inside and out. Defended the post efficiently. Got stronger as camp went on, showcasing his stamina as he was at full tilt attacking in the open floor while others dragged to get back. Sank mid-range pull-ups and has growing range on his three-point shot.

Matthew Collins
2026 6-1 G Matthew Collins – Clarke Central
Pure scorer was one of the best point producers in camp. Listed at 6-foot-1, Collins looks and plays longer. He has a knack for elevating over contests to get clean looks at the rim for his jumper. Matthew drills pull-ups from the mid-range and can go on scoring binges with his three-point shot. He uses a smooth handle in order to get to his spots and can change speeds when turning corners to get all the way to the rim. Three-level scorer facilitates well getting others involved.

Jaiden Rather
2029 5-11 G Jaiden Rather – Mountain View – Hooper Society
All arms and legs, a lanky young prospect in the backcourt. Knocked down open catch-and-shoots threes during camp. Was confident putting the ball on the floor to create as a passer. As he gets stronger, expect Jaiden to become even more impactful on defense.

Aaryan Nukala
2030 5-9 G Aaryan Nukala – West Forsyth
Loves basketball. Knocked down a corner three with a quick release once he acclimated himself with the speed of the game. Crashed the offensive glass and knew to kick out to shooters for open looks. Getting more reps against talent will help him become more comfortable handling the ball vs. pressure. Good teammate.

Sandy’s Spiel Spring Showcase Girls Evaluations


The Sandy’ Spiel Spring Showcase hosted 70 prospects from all across the state of Georgia who were looking to improve their game and boost their exposure before diving into travel ball. Seven schools from multiple levels were in attendance as JUCO, NAIA, D-III and D-II programs traveled to Dawson County High School to evaluate prospective student-athletes. With the help of our esteemed eight-coach staff, here are our player evaluations sorted by team.

RLEAD PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY

TEAM 1

Paisley Manson
2031 5-6 G Paisley Manson – Morgan County – Evolution Basketball
The youngest player in camp managed to hold her own. Lefty scored through contact in transition. Handled the ball well against pressure. Has a high upside future still a full year away from entering high school.

Mia Huckaby
2027 5-8 G Mia Huckaby – Hebron Christian
Dynamic scorer found points from all three levels. Excelled shooting on the perimeter from beyond the arc, especially off the catch. Showed a lead-dog mentality, running the show on offense. Attacked coast-to-coast using eurosteps to slice through the defense. Got to her floater and routinely found herself in the paint. Created offense for others with her passing off the dribble. Comfortable playing both on and off the ball, giving her added value at the next level. Defended well, moving laterally to stay in front. Won 50/50 balls throughout camp and was all over the offensive glass.

Zalaiya Mosses
2030 5-6 G Zalaiya Mosses – Woodville-Tompkins – Effingham Lady Bulldogs
Long-armed guard has promise. Hits gaps in the defense with her speed and showed the ability to absorb contact on finishes. Made some nice one-handed passes off the bounce. Thrived in transition making good decisions with the ball. As she grows stronger, expect her consistency and assertiveness to blossom. Looks like an impact freshman with her energy.

Azhia Kendall
2028 5-9 W Azhia Kendall – Heard County – Porter Sports
One of the very best motors in camp. Plays extremely hard. Is a ball magnet with her athleticism. Does a great job getting to the rim with a quick first step from both the wing and high post. Snatches rebounds and looks to push in the open floor. Follows her shot. Uses her length on defense to guard multiple positions.

Morgan Yuhas
2028 5-10 F Morgan Yuhas – Windsor Academy
Good frame to play combo-forward splitting time both around the rim and on the wing. Has positional versatility. Likes to shoot from the perimeter. Knocked down baseline jumpers. Scored on baseline out of bounds sets. Agility has room to improve but already has quality footwork for a stretch forward. High-level reps against formidable competition will help expedite her development.

Aubrey Robey
2028 5-8 G Aubrey Robey – Sprayberry – Wood Elite
Suffered a high ankle sprain early on at camp before team play. In her brief time on the floor in station work, she displayed patient footwork on the perimeter. Used her pivot to maneuver herself free as defenders flew at her. Has versatility 1-3 thanks to her strong build and steady athleticism. Should enjoy a breakout season at Sprayberry as a lone returner with varsity experience.

Darbi Stanley
2029 5-5 G Darbi Stanley – Pickens
Elite three-point shooter with a high knowledge of the game. Has a deceptively quick first step. Uses her strong frame to create separation on drives when getting to her floater or one-dribble pull-up. Solid team defender. Understands her strengths and does not stray from them. Growing her ability to impact games aside from her outside shooting will be her next area of development. Regardless, already has a translatable skill to the next level with her floor spacing expertise.

Chloe Thompson
2028 5-8 W Chloe Thompson – Morgan County – Team Berry
Sturdy wing has the toughness to play inside along with the skill to play outside. Physical rebounder wasn’t afraid to mix it up at camp. Scored around the rim through fouls. Knocked down corner threes.

Ava Ferry
2029 5-9 W Ava Ferry – West Forsyth – Locked In
Good size with nice footspeed. Has versatility between the 3 and the 4. Could serve as a small-ball stretch-forward. Makes the right read, short rolling out of screens to catch and pass to the corner for threes. Attacks off the dribble with court vision to find open teammates. Had some strong takes from the corners. Plays off two feet and rebounds her position.

TEAM 2

Jayla Ayler
2028 5-8 G Jayla Ayler – Greenbrier – Academy Elite
Exceptionally smooth with both hands. Righty is extremely fluid with her left-hand takes to the rim, able to kiss floaters off the glass from tricky angles. Effortless shot with limited lift but accurate from beyond the arc. Has a knack for making things happen when the ball is in her hands.

TT Lewis
2027 5-6 PG TT Lewis – Heard County – All For One
Loved how hard TT played at camp. Strong, athletic point guard with a downhill mindset. Brings terrific energy on both ends of the floor. Aggressive on-ball defender. Quick first step gets her two feet in the paint at will. Finishes with floaters. Attacks offensive rebounds. Should start drawing college attention heading into her final season.

Katie Kinsinger
2028 5-8 G Katie Kinsinger – Landmark Christian – Wood Elite PTC Select
Sizeable guard has a strong frame and the ability to play all over the floor. Showed confidence grabbing rebounds and pushing coast-to-coast. Hustled on the offensive glass, battling to keep plays alive while earning her team second chances. Smart defender has switchable features able to guard outside and inside.

Destini Chunn
2028 5-11 W Destini Chunn – Collins Hill – Hoops United
Long, wiry rangy athlete that can play either forward position. Snatched rebounds and looked to ignite fastbreaks as a coast-to-coast threat. Willing three-point shooter that was at her best in the paint, able to attack with long strides from the wing. Disruptive defender with her wingspan altering shots and clogging passing lanes.

Khloe Smith
2029 5-9 W Khloe Smith – Pace Academy – BounceNation
Slender guard with long arms. Has an athletic frame that should add muscle over time. Made a major impact on defense. Found success getting to her floater in the lane on offense. Tons of tools to work with moving forward.

Kadence Rhodes
2027 5-9 W Kadence Rhodes – Dawson County – PEAK Performance
Ran the floor for baskets and didn’t try to overextend herself. Played team basketball and received high marks for her IQ. Made good reads as a decision maker and didn’t press into taking any bad shots. Solid outside shooter who will chip in on the glass.

Kayden Ghant
2028 5-9 W Kayden Ghant – Shiloh – Lady Monarchs
Can play in the post or on the wing. Has a strong physical build. Secures rebounds in traffic and uses her outlet passing to spark transition opportunities. Fluid release on her jump shot. Capable of creating mismatches on offense and is a versatile defender. High character.

Kendall Arnett
2028 5-9 W Kendall Arnett – North Forsyth – Redline
A tweener that can muscle her way to rebounds and buckets inside but also a skilled finesse player with her footwork and perimeter game, Arnett finished camp with a flurry as she drilled four threes in her final game. Kendall enjoyed a breakout sophomore season and should step even further into the spotlight her final two seasons as a hard-working multidimensional standout. Arnett does a lot well. Standing only around 5-foot-9 on a good day, Kendall plays bigger than her size with her nose for the ball. She rebounds in crowds, using her physicality to fight for position once a shot goes up. Arnett runs the floor for garbage points, never assuming a made layup in transition. She scores on post-ups with nice back-to-the-basket footwork, finishing through contact. Her three-pointers come on catch-and-shoot attempts. Kendall’s blue collar work ethic is hard to ignore.

Rihanna Bess
2027 5-8 W Rihanna Bess – Tattnall County – Tattnall Lady Chiefs
The lefty made a positive first impression with her gritty play in the paint. Bess is a strong-bodied forward who uses her power to her advantage. She seeks offensive rebounds aggressively. Rihanna scored with a soft touch around the rim but also opened up the floor with long step-back jumpers. Her defensive prowess was impressive at 5-foot-8, using her strength and physical play to defend larger players. She walls up well and does a good job challenging shots.

TEAM 3

Adelyn Thompson
2027 5-6 G Adelyn Thompson – Rabun County – SE United McGraw
Knockdown three-point shooter netted long balls off the catch but also had some impressive moments attacking with her mid-range pull-up both in the halfcourt and in transition. Has shown over the course of her career the ability to play both on and off the ball. Good vision, willing to make the extra pass and dangerous out of the pick-and-roll. Competitive on-ball defender.

Janiyah Blevins
2027 5-4 PG Janiyah Blevins – Bradwell Institute – FBC South
Sparkplug point guard had a strong junior season. Primary ball handler with speed. Likes to shoot the pull-up three from straightaway. Streaky shooter but shot the ball very well at camp. Dangerous penetrator. Does well getting steals and deflections at the top of the press. A catalyst for her team.

Ka'Mya Washington
2026 5-5 PG Ka’Mya Washington – Jackson County
Enjoyed a breakout senior season which has landed her multiple D-III and NAIA offers. Southern Crescent Tech is the latest school to show interest after watching her on Sunday. Shifty playmaker flourished as a drive-and-kick distributor finding teammates for open threes. Does well drawing fouls on drives to the rim. Likes to get to her floater but also has advanced court vision to dump off assists to teammates on the block at the last second. Brought energy on the floor and on the bench as a vocal leader. Harassed opposing ball handlers in the press as she poked away steals and deflected passes.

Ava Thompson
2028 SG 5-7 Ava Thompson – Towns County
Lethal three-point shooter knocks down shots when her feet are set on the catch. Utilizes shot fakes when defenders close out too hard, allowing her to get to the rim. Hard worker is very coachable, able to make in-game adjustments and improve on the fly.

Sa'Nya Jones
2028 5-10 F Sa’Nya Jones – Collins Hill – Wood Elite
Athletic forward can play inside and out. Runs the floor well. Rebounds the ball and is able to start fastbreaks. Gets defenders in the air with ball fakes and attacks effectively from the wing and high post. Battles on the backboards to earn second chances. Scores on post ups and is a sneaky good passer off the dribble.

Leah Bryan
2028 5-11 W Leah Bryan – North Forsyth – Redline
Lefty’s game is predicated on her shot making from the perimeter. Dangerous floor stretcher from the corners. Hits three-point shots when given space and also utilizes quick one-dribble pull-ups to get to her spots in the mid-range. Attacks the baseline closeouts well. Has the length to develop into a 3&D two-way impact player. Pinning down her consistency and confidence will allow her a big final two seasons.

Izzie Jabaley
2027 5-6 PG Izzie Jabaley – Fannin County – Wood Elite
Powerful point guard is a true floor general. Terrific pitch-ahead passer in transition. Keeps her head up while probing the defense, able to pass teammates open. Uses her strong frame to her advantage, turning corners and using her shoulders to clear space to finish through contact downhill. Has a smooth hesitation move coupled with fluid behind the back dribbles to lose defenders. Has the ball in her hands a lot as a primary playmaker but is a very good three-point shooter off the catch as well when playing off the ball. Tough-nosed winner.

Jamesen Hollomon
2027 5-9 F Jamesen Hollomon – Schley County
Made her mark in the paint, getting on the glass and scoring around the rim. Has a strong frame along with a versatile skill set, a threat to make things happen in transition. Does well carving out space when fighting for position for post ups and rebounds. Good shot blocker for her size.

Brenley Matthews
2028 5-11 F Brenley Matthews – Creekview – Wood Elite
Extremely polished inside-out forward. Countermoves help her score in the paint, comfortable pivoting back to get to her hook shot or turnaround jumper. Plays with balance when showcasing her deft footwork and is able to score with either hand on up-and-under moves. Shoots the three exceptionally well off the catch. A perfect pick-and-pop big. Made great decisions throughout camp deciphering whether to score or to find an open teammate. Reads passes on defense and consistently finds herself in the right spot on rotations. Major stock riser moving forward. Should be on D-II radars sooner rather than later.

TEAM 4

Jaida Stamper
2028 5-4 G Jaida Stamper – Alexander
Slightly undersized guard whose best weapon is her three-point shot. Comfortable handling the ball and does a good job getting others involved. Isn’t afraid to mix it up when defending on the perimeter. Can get up under bigger guards to knock away steals.

Calleigh Salvador
2028 5-4 PG Calleigh Salvador – South Forsyth – Redline
Mature lead guard has gotten stronger each and every season. Coachable. Maintains eye contact when spoken to. Able to do whatever is asked of her. Can score 15-20 a night or instead rack up 5-7 assists. Showcased her physicality on downhill drives at camp, spinning off defenders to get to the rim. Loosed up the defense with her three-point shot, an area of her game that is steadily improving. Gritty on-ball defender competes at a high level.

Braalyn Whitehead
2028 5-5 G Braalyn Whitehead – Archer – Wood Elite
Elite athlete, quick and wiry. Has broad shoulders which she uses to keep defenders at bay whether when handling the ball on drives through traffic or when powering up to finish And-1s. Really good footwork on her takes to the rim. Scored with drop steps on the block and pivoted her way to step-through hoops through contact. Gets a piece of the paint whenever she wants to. Vocal presence on defense helped hold teammates accountable. Aggressive defender has a nose for the ball. Track and field star is one you want on your side in a battle.

Zuri Grant
2027 5-5 G Zuri Grant – Baldwin – Lady Empact
Lefty knocks down threes off the catch. Starting to polish her skills as a lead ball handler which will give her more upside and versatility at the next level. Solid defender doesn’t get out of position much. High character teammate is easy to play with.

Harmony LaMark
2029 5-9 W Harmony LaMark – Denmark – Redline
Lanky guard is most dangerous on ball rotations leading to open threes. Beginning to diversify her game, getting more comfortable attacking off the dribble. Hits pull-up jumpers. Length allows her to be an effective defender, able to muddy up passing lanes and hinder smaller guards’ vision.

DeArri Bojgere
2027 5-7 G DeArri Bojgere – Alexander – Wood Elite
Capable of serving time at both the 2 and the 3. I liked how she contested shots on defense, challenging on the perimeter and in the paint. Guards multiple spots. Rebounds well for her size. Nailed three-pointers when she was able to step into them in rhythm.

Saniya Garner
2028 5-7 W Saniya Garner – Bradwell Institute
Long, athletic wing with a very good frame. Uses her natural gifts to her advantage on defense as she anticipates passes well and shoots the gaps for steals. Looks and plays much bigger than 5-foot-7. Multi-positional upside.

Grace Musselman
2028 5-11 G Grace Musselman – Milton – East Tennessee Air
Southpaw. Big guard likes to start the fastbreak after rebounding. Scores a bulk of her points with her jump shot. Three-point shot is an important aspect of her game. Continuing to strengthen her right hand will help make her an even tougher cover. Liked her aggressiveness getting to the basket.

Destiny Edwards
2026 5-6 F Destiny Edwards – Woodville-Tompkins – Up Next Sports
Finished camp extremely strong as her physical play wore down opponents. Powerfully built forward is undersized but makes up for it with her knowledge of how to use her body. Utilizes her shoulders when playing in the paint. Has nice moves with her back to the basket including facing up and attacking with a spin to the baseline. Worked the offensive glass throughout camp. Aggressive mindset.

TEAM 5

Greenlee Lumpkin
2027 5-5 PG Greenlee Lumpkin – Coahulla Creek – Thunder
Electric agility with the ball in her hands. Bounces around the court looking to make plays on both ends. Quick first step gets her into the paint. At her best when slashing to the rim but also showed the ability to knock down open threes. Sticky on-ball defender with her lateral footspeed. Has serious momentum after a breakthrough junior season.

Annaka Hembree
2028 5-7 PG Annaka Hembree – Christian Heritage – Redline
Lean playmaker made some impressive passes throughout camp. Was able to attack baseline to make drift hammer passes for corner threes. Penetrated with long strides to the rim. Initiated fastbreaks with her outlet passing. Quick hands picked the pocket of ball handlers who weren’t paying attention when being closely guarded. High IQ decision maker. Makes others around her better. Knocked down threes off the catch when playing off ball.

Gracen Holbrook
2028 5-7 G Gracen Holbrook – East Forsyth – Redline
Hard-nosed guard that defends well and plays through bumps and bruises. Poked away numerous steals at camp. Has a quick first step to beat out of control closeouts. Very dangerous three-point shooter off the catch. Understands assignments. Rebounds well from her position.

2028 5-5 SG Gracelyn Rutledge – Chattooga – Wood Elite
Potent offensive game. Shoots the three off the catch. Has nice ball skills, able to go behind the back and use crossovers to create space. Uses her strength to her advantage when shots go up, getting into position to rebound. Scored on putbacks as she boxed out bigger players.

Kelbrie Flowers
2028 5-5 G Kelbrie Flowers – Northwest Whitfield – Thunder
Knocked down corner threes and ran the floor in transition for easy hoops. Release on her shot has room to quicken. Expect her offensive repertoire to grow over her next two seasons. I think she can become a solid off the dribble decision maker.

Ella Kate Shedd
2027 5-8 G Ella Kate Shedd – White County – Team All In
Coach’s daughter has the IQ and skill to play 1-4. Tough and physical for a guard. Attacks rebounds. Moves well without the ball cutting into open spaces. Traps hard without fouling. Has clean footwork on drives to the rim. Uses her body to absorb contact while finishing with both hands. Savvy passer that sees the floor off the dribble. Hits mid-range jumpers off the catch. Able to knock down open threes as her range is steadily expanding. Consistently makes winning plays.

Yasmeen Gaiter

Athletic high-energy wing was involved in nearly every play. Attacked the glass and got downhill routinely. Earned second chance opportunities and won 50/50 balls in traffic. Used spin moves to get to the hoop. Added some 10-foot pull-ups. Defensive versatility was on display guarding both on the perimeter and in the paint.

Cassidy Freeman
2026 5-7 W Cassidy Freeman – Woodville-Tompkins – Elite Lady Warriors
Strong wing felt bigger than her size. Steady defender guarded both forward positions. Used her athleticism to beat defenders off the dribble. Most of her production came around the paint. Netted a handful of mid-range jumpers throughout camp.

Hollyn Hicks2027 6-1 F Hollyn Hicks – East Forsyth – Redline
Flashes point-forward skill set. Sees the floor as a passer, able to initiate the offense. Takes slower bigs off the dribble and has nimble footwork around the basket. Does a very good job using her length to block shots. Dangerous offensive threat from all over the floor. Can be used in a multitude of ways in 1-4 high/horns sets. Shot 36% from beyond the arc her junior season. Fills up box scores nightly.

TEAM 6

Millie Southards
2029 5-7 PG Millie Southards – Rabun County
Controls the flow of games. True-point guard with great strength looks to get others involved. Penetrates through crowds and kicks to open shooters. Can get all the way to the rim to finish with either hand. Mixed in mid-range pull-ups and three-pointers. Rebounds exceptionally well for a lead guard. Sits in stance and defends physically without fouling. Can take over games either scoring the ball or facilitating. Extremely polished. On track to garner D-I interest over the course of her career.

Jade Jones
2027 5-5 G Jade Jones – Discovery – Winners United
Wired-to-score. Agile bucket-getter got to the hoop throughout camp. Played with great energy, always looking to make things happen on both ends of the floor. Forced multiple turnovers while defending on and off the ball. Received high marks for being a supportive teammate.

Paisley LaMark
2029 5-6 G Paisley LaMark – Denmark – Redline
Long arms for her size. Hurts defenses with her catch-and-shoot three-point range. Continuing to get more high-level reps will help her confidence. Hustled on defense. Can pick up deflections. Growing as a ball handler.

Layla Brinson
2028 5-4 PG Layla Brinson – Grovetown – Academy Elite
Exceptional playmaker out of the pick-and-roll. Whips in one-handed passes to rollers. Had a terrific day attacking the basket. Got penetration whenever she wanted using her speed and low center of gravity and finished tough drives with both hands. Knocked down mid-range pull-ups. Frustrated opposing ball handlers with her aggressiveness defending.

Valerie Ward
2028 5-7 G Valerie Ward – St. Andrew’s
Caught my eye with her well-balanced performance. Ward scored from all three levels at camp. She had a smooth athletic gather in traffic when getting to her left-handed layups. Ward finished drives through contact and spaced the floor with her three-point shot. She did well handling pressure. I liked her energy on defense. Valerie forced jump balls by clamping down when drivers tried to go up for layups. I like her future down in Savannah.

Ansleigh Vandiver
2029 5-5 G Ansleigh Vandiver – White County – BCB
Sturdy lefty came on strong to close her freshman season and continued her hot play at camp. Skilled playmaker sets up her compact spin move in traffic with a sharp crossover to free herself downhill. Can play either guard position. Used her strength around the rim, posting up for bully-ball buckets sporadically throughout the day. Really like her feel for the game.

Janiyah Johnson
2028 5-10 F Janiyah Johnson – St. Andrew’s – Essence
One of the most physically dominant presences at camp. Got stronger as the day went on, banging down low for second and third chance points. Cleaned the glass and sparked transition opportunities. Made sharp passes off the dribble on pitch aheads and made some good reads while driving and kicking for threes. Protected the rim on defense with blocked shots.

Physical rebounder in traffic. Attacked the basketball for much of her offense. Does the dirty work defensively helping clog up driving lanes with her rotations.

Lauren Reid
2029 5-8 G Lauren Reid – Harlem
Wiry with the upside to become an above average perimeter defender. Hustled on defense, knocking the ball away from behind. Tightening her handles and getting stronger will help her reach her ceiling. Projects to be an impactful two-way player.

TEAM 7

Riley Taylor
2028 5-7 PG Riley Taylor – Union Grove – Team Legacy
I liked what I saw out of Riley as a playmaker, getting others involved with her sharp passing off the dribble. Taylor was able to attack the rim and dump off assists to her teammates on the blocks. When she looked for her own shot, Riley netted step-back jumpers. Her defense and rebounding ability stood out.

McKenzie Knight
2028 5-1 PG McKenzie Knight – Woodville-Tompkins
Smallest player at camp moved well without the ball, cutting for open baskets. She pushed the ball in transition with a shifty approach. When she got amongst the trees, Knight did well to finish by using her body to shield the ball from shot blockers.

Haley Gaines
2029 5-5 G Haley Gaines – Madison County – Classic City Ballers
Loved her hustle as she got on the floor to force jump balls. Plays extremely hard and gets the most out of her 5-foot-5 frame. Rebounds well and wants to do whatever is asked of her to win games. Good teammate.

Lyla Sanderson
2028 5-7 G Lyla Sanderson – Woodstock – Explosive Elites

Kaliyah Oliver
2027 5-9 W Kaliyah Oliver – Carrollton – Porter Sports
Physical tweener forward can beat you in the high post, low post or on the wing. Drives the ball from the high post but also is a good decision maker with her passing. Finishes well with both hands and does so through contact. Runs the floor, filling the lanes for layups and putbacks. Soft touch in the paint and can space out to shoot from the mid-range and beyond. Workhorse mentality. Tough rebounder.

Malorie Wyse
2029 5-8 W Malorie Wyse – North Hall – Redline
Great length on the perimeter gives her the versatility to play numerous spots on the floor. Uses her wingspan to defend outside and around the rim. Has a high compete level. Capable of attacking off the dribble and dropping off assists. Plays bigger than 5-foot-8.

Jaedyn Gaddis
2028 5-6 G Jaedyn Gaddis – Discovery – Hoops United
Every time I looked over at Team 7, Jaedyn Gaddis was in the midst of making a play. She was active on both sides of the ball, forcing turnovers, snatching rebounds and pushing in the open floor. She liked to attack downhill using her athleticism to slip past defenders. Gaddis passed well out of baseline out of bounds sets. Physical defender.

Lucy Wallace
2028 5-7 W Lucy Wallace – Decatur – Lady Elite Venom
Did damage with her mid-range jumper and stretched it out to the three-point line. Heady decision maker with the ball found open teammates with her vision. Got after it on defense and helped crash the offensive glass for second chance opportunities.

Kendale Lanier
2029 5-4 G Kendale Lanier – Decatur – Legacy
Lefty has quickness with the ball. Likes to set up defenders with a crossover before getting to her pull-up jumper. Attacked both left and right off the dribble. Has upside as a downhill playmaker either as a scorer or facilitator.

Kyleigh White
2029 5-7 W Kyleigh White – Woodville-Tompkins – Essence
Was the talk of camp, a breakout performer who took full advantage of the stage. Drips with upside. Athletic guard looks and plays bigger than her listed height. Naturally gifted scorer. Attacked defenses with crossovers and used her size and explosiveness to get to the rim. Got stronger as camp wore on as her shot selection tightened up. Realized not many in attendance could stay in front of her, especially in the full court. Strong gather in traffic allowed her to split the defense and convert tough layups. Was able to contort her body for reverse lay-ins from difficult angles. Has tons of skill with a motor to match. Adding more consistency with her outside shot will add another layer of polish to her game. Serious ceiling to become one of the best players in Savannah.

Jada Welch
2027 5-4 G Jada Welch – Chapel Hill
Unorthodox release as she shoots from her chest but was able to knock down some jumpers and earned high praise for her effort on defense. Did well getting into passing lanes. Guarded the ball well. Showed the ability to go coast-to-coast and finish through fouls with her left hand. Moved well without the ball as she didn’t need to be the focal point of the offense in order to help the team score.

Raquel Dixon
2029 5-10 W Raquel Dixon – Blessed Trinity – Redline
Lefty loves to stretch the floor with her outside shot. Can play both on the wing or in the post with her size, a potential mismatch. Deceptively quick first step. Plays off two feet in the paint. Pushed the ball in transition after clearing rebounds. Uses her body well in the paint. Smart decision maker.

Veyda Jones
2028 6-1 C Veyda Jones – Northwest Whitfield – Thunder
Great size with an athletic frame. Keeps the ball high on putbacks; aggressively pursues offensive rebounds. Willing shooter from the three-point line. Showed the fluidity of catching on the move when flashing to the post, able to drop-step into a lefty finish. Covers ground defensively with her length. Best basketball is still ahead of her.
