2028 5-10 W Taylor Liberal – Grayson
An Honorable Mention All-State selection while at Brookwood, Liberal is a trending prospect. Taylor is a mismatch. Standing around 5-foot-10, not only is she an explosive athlete vertically, she’s quick and skilled with the ball. Liberal pulls down rebounds with two hands and creatively finishes with both hands around the rim. She’s got a nice mid-range game, efficient from 15-feet but also crafty downhill. Her well-rounded offensive game along with her speed exploits bigger defenders who can’t keep up with her. Liberal posted 15.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore while shooting 35% from the three-point line. Taylor is well on her way to firmly establishing herself as a D-I recruit.

2027 5-5 G Jade Jones – Grayson
In from Discovery where she was named All-Region, Jones adds a wired-to-score combo-guard to the rebuilt Grayson backcourt. Jade averaged 13.6 points, 4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 3.3 steals per game, netting 53 threes in the process. Jade’s an agile playmaker. She attacks the rim with pace off the dribble. Jones mixes in pull-up jumpers from the mid-range along with off the catch threes as well. Jade’s also a sneaky effective defender who will poke away steals from shaky ball handlers.

2029 5-10 W Ari McElrath – North Paulding
After averaging 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals as a freshman at South Paulding, McElrath jumps to North Paulding the defending state champs. McElrath provides versatility between the forward positions. She’s a respectable three-point shooter who also mixes it up in the paint as a rebounder and scorer inside. Her toughness brings value on the defensive side of the ball.

2029 5-7 SG Poppy Jenkins – Carrollton
Poppy posted 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.1 steals per game as a freshman at South Paulding. One of many transfers out of the Southside, Jenkins joins a young Carrollton backcourt. Poppy’s shooting touch could pay dividends once she cracks the rotation. She netted 19 threes over 22 games as a freshman and had a strong offseason shooting the ball.
