2028 5-6 G Zoe McCurry – Cartersville
I am a big fan of Zoe’s. McCurry doesn’t need to make flashy plays in order to be productive. She humbly goes about her business and produces consistently in whatever role is asked of her. McCurry has served as a primary ball handler at times but against River Ridge was more of a combo-guard off the ball giving way to freshman J’vaye Sams. Either way, whenever the ball found Zoe’s hands, good things happened. The rising junior is physically stout, not one to get pushed around. Her strong frame gives her the strength to fire from well beyond the three-point line, a deep range sniper off the catch. McCurry is also a confident driver who can float in buckets in traffic. A fundamentally sound competitor, Zoe has a knack for making winning plays. She holds her block outs when a shot goes up and is willing to step in to take charges. In a 65-57 loss to River Ridge, Zoe accounted for 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals while serving as a leader in the backcourt. The hard working 4.0 GPA student notched an offer from Bryan earlier this month. Expect NAIA, D-III and possibly D-II programs to be in play over her final two seasons.

2028 5-3 G Reagan Mulligan – River Ridge
The newfound Robin to Finley Parker’s Batman, Reagan was on point against Cartersville as she dropped 19 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists and 2 steals. The undersized guard is quick and shifty. Mulligan has deep three-point range. With defenders knowing she is liable to launch from distance, Reagan uses their over-aggressiveness to her advantage, blowing by the first line of defense to get to her signature floater. Mulligan loves attacking with runners and tricky off-balance shots which can get defenders tangled up and fouling Reagan. Aside from her own offensive production, Mulligan did a nice job making the extra pass to find others with better looks at the rim. The Knights buried eight threes to win 65-57, five players connecting from deep. D-III schools are starting to show major interest in the undersized scoring machine.

2028 6-4 C De’Nadia Dunn – Putnam County
De’Nadia is starting to put it all together. At 6-foot-4, Dunn has elite size and length. The slender post only averaged 3.5 points per game last season but against Buford she was exceptionally effective, hanging 14 points, 9 rebounds and 1 steal. Dunn is just starting to scratch the surface of her potential. Adding more muscle, developing a go-to move and utilizing her left hand will all be areas of focus. Regardless, De’Nadia’s influence is becoming more consistent and more impactful. She converted three And-1s against the Wolves, finding success on high-low feeds and putbacks while shooting 2-6 from the foul line. I would have liked to see her block some shots, but her presence alone helped deter opponents from scoring as she altered numerous attempts. It will be interesting to track her development over the next 12 months. Her upside is too high to not draw significant recruitment.

2028 5-8 G Bella Vargo – North Cobb
Injuries tried to slow down Isabella earlier in her career but now healthy, Vargo is starting to show what she can do and has been doing so in a steady fashion. The shooter drained some huge shots down the stretch in a 48-44 win over Whitefield Academy netting four threes including three in the second half. While Vargo impacted the box score with her shooting, I thought she also did a nice job handling the ball with composure against the Wolfpack. In total, Bella tallied 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. As her on-ball game continues to blossom as both a playmaker and scorer, expect Vargo’s production to uptick each of her final two seasons as she starts sneaking up on college radars.

2028 5-11 G Amelia Newman – Whitefield Academy
Following a slow first half, Millie Newman got hot as she attempted to lead the Wolfpack past North Cobb before ultimately falling short 48-44. The big guard cashed in on three threes and went 3-3 from the line en route to 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. Newman is a good shooter who can get her three-point shot off the dribble or efficiently off the catch. Implementing her size and strength on more downhill drives could alleviate the pressure to score from distance. Now a junior, the All-State performer will have plenty of opportunities to not only score the ball, but to establish herself as a leader as one of the oldest players on the roster. D-I schools are watching Millie closely with Furman offering this week and Jacksonville State offering in May after Yale offered back in 2024 and Appalachian State in June 2025.

2028 5-5 G Peyton Mann – St. Francis
If she somehow doesn’t already have some, Peyton Mann should net offers after her play at GBCA Live. I’m a big fan of Mann’s. She may not be the headliner on the roster but she is extremely critical with her play in the backcourt. Peyton doesn’t have eye-popping size, but she’s a nimble guard capable of playing both on and off the ball. She’s a very good shooter, scoring on pull-up jumpers and floaters with range out to the three-point line. Peyton gets to her spots and while doing so, creates pressure on defenses as she reads whether to take her own shot or dish to her shooters. Defensively, she’s quick laterally with deceptively long arms. In a 75-72 double overtime win over Sandy Creek, Mann held her own against the star-studded backcourt, finishing with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. D-I and D-II programs should be getting involved with Mann.

2028 5-7 PG Morghan Reckley – Sandy Creek
The dazzling five-star playmaker recorded 22 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in a 75-72 double overtime loss to St. Francis. After a five-point first half, Reckley stepped on the gas, looking for her offense. She netted two pull-up jumpers and a three while her other baskets came on slices to the rim. Morghan’s willingness to get others involved is impressive. She has the ball on a string and is uber athletic with elite change of pace and direction, but she still doesn’t try to go 1-on-5, instead penetrating and kicking to her multitude of weapons to score. Reckley’s bounce and overall flow with the ball is unseen at the high school level. Her combination of skill, athleticism and competitiveness are what make her one of the top players in the country.

2028 6-0 W D’Arrah Mitchell – Sandy Creek
In from Nevada, D’Arrah Mitchell brings with her a highly touted reputation, already serving time with the USA U16 National Team. DD is a mismatch. She has the size of a forward but the skills of a guard. She’s got a high release on her jumper, making it hard to defend. Against St. Francis, she buried three three-pointers. Mitchell was used at the high post where she caught and looked to make plays toward the basket. She got to her left hand in traffic. D’Arrah is a three-level scorer with her soft shooting touch and her toughness in the paint – an effective offensive rebounder. Mitchell went for 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. The toolsy wing earned an offer from Texas Tech earlier in the month.

2028 6-0 F Miami Solomon – Westlake
Possessing one of the highest ceilings in Georgia, Jamyce Solomon is a game wreaker with her two-way ability and top-notch athleticism and length. Miami posted 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in a loss to New Manchester. Solomon showcased soft touch from 10-15 feet, netting three jumpers as she worked around the high post. The pogo stick rebounder collected a pair of putbacks. On the perimeter, Solomon made tough shots look routine, euro stepping into long floaters. When she wasn’t scoring, Miami whipped around sharp one-handed passes finding cutters through the defense. While she settled occasionally for deep threes, Jamyce was effective with her motor and dynamic versatility. All the skills and measurables are in place for Solomon to reach her elite ceiling. Her talent should garner Power 4 looks.

2028 5-9 F Kendall Arnett – North Forsyth
Although she might not have a true defined position, more of a tweener between a 3 and a 4, Kendall is exceptionally productive with her hard-nosed style of play. In a loss to Coffee, Arnett was a defensive anchor, rotating on the backside to wall up to alter shots before blocking out to secure rebounds. The physical forward uses her body extremely well. On offense, she is crafty with how she creates contact and finishes with her off hand. In total, Kendall scored four times with her left hand, converting on a putback and a pair of And-1s, one on a drive and the other rolling to the rim. Arnett shot 5-8 from the foul line as she tallied 19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Kendall is a winner. It will be interesting to see what type of offers materialize over the next 18 months. She could be a steal at the right level.

2028 5-11 W Leah Bryan – North Forsyth
Leah has major spurtability. The streaky scorer can flip the momentum of a game in a blink as she typically finds the bottom of the net in bunches. Bryan had a flurry in the first half before another one late against Coffee, recording a team-high 20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Leah drilled four threes and had success getting to her left hand on drives to the basket, kissing shots off the glass in coast-to-coast settings. The southpaw played well out of the pick-and-roll, finding divers to the rim. Her length gives her added value defensively to pair with her offensive firepower. D-II programs are in contact.

2028 6-1 PF Ja’Ziyah Foster – Lamar County
Second halves belong to Ja’Ziyah. Foster got to work after a four-point first half saw Lamar County trailing South Effingham 26-18. Ja’Ziyah would go on to finish with 14 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, leading Lamar County to a 41-35 win. Foster has the size and skill to play at the next level, D-I schools tracking since her freshman season. Her ability to stretch the floor and rim run give her a major advantage. She sparked her 10-point second half with a three-pointer from the wing. In order for Foster to dominate to the best of her abilities, she will need to continue to focus on going up strong through contact. Ja’Ziyah tends to bump and fade away up close causing misses. She has shown the ability throughout her career to make in-game adjustments however and remedied the issue in the second half, starting to finish toward the rim which resulted in more makes including an And-1 post-up. The Trojans have been flirting with a deep run at state for years now. With Foster now an upperclassman and one of the best backcourts Lamar County has had in recent years, this could be the season the Trojans make it to Macon behind the play of Ja’Ziyah Foster.

2028 5-11 W Leah Pollack – North Oconee
North Oconee toppled Trinity Christian 62-50 behind the play of Leah Pollack. The ball magnet found herself involved in nearly every play. Quick to track down rebounds and anticipate steals, Leah stuffed the box score with 20 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Pollack impressed with her left hand, scoring twice including a coast-to-coast take. The consistency of Leah’s range has begun to show, netting a pair of corner threes and going 3-3 from the foul line. Her IQ on the floor along with her aggressiveness make her a step faster than everyone else. Pollack is a steady producer every time out. The legitimacy of her stock is growing daily.
