The 2025 Sandy’s Spiel Showcase was sponsored by Redline Girls Basketball Club

Kate Harpring
2026 5-10 G Kate Harpring – Marist
It was simply a masterclass effort from the best player in the nation. The UNC-signee toyed with North Oconee in a 59-43 win. Harpring abused the Titans’ single coverage, shooting 9-10 from the field in the first half, 4-5 from three as she piled in 23 points as Marist held a 31-27 lead after trailing 16-13 following the first period. Kate landed the knockout punch in the third quarter with 12 more points as Marist pulled away to take a 52-34 lead. In total, Harpring finished with 38 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 15-21 shooting, 7-9 from three-point range and 1-2 from the foul line. Kate hit tough pull-up threes, step-back jumpers and drives with both hands. It was an unstoppable performance that lit the gym on fire and should remind the rest of the state that the only way to try and guard the inevitable All-American is with “junk” defenses and constant double teams, anything less feels like disrespect and borderline malpractice at this point unless the opposition has elite athleticism and length.

Laura Frances Willis
2026 5-8 G Laura Frances Willis – North Oconee
The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi-signee led North Oconee with 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in a 59-43 loss to Marist. It was a steady offensive day for Willis, hitting a long two-pointer, two threes, a floater and a left-handed layup in transition to go with 2-2 shooting from the charity stripe. Willis scored in each quarter, providing the Titans with five of their seven points in the decisive third quarter. Lolly has proven to be a binge scorer with her three-point shot, a confident pull-up shooter in transition. Her growth as a downhill driver has been impressive as she uses her body exceptionally well when finishing inside, squaring her shoulders to embrace contact.

Jordan Johnson
2026 5-6 PG Jordan Johnson – Lanier
Jordan came on strong with six points in the fourth quarter as she broke loose with drives to the basket. Johnson collected 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals. With a strong frame, athleticism and a well-rounded offensive skill set, Johnson quickly passes the eye-test as a college player. She used her off the dribble game to score against Woodstock, finishing four drives in the halfcourt. With her quickness, she managed to wrangle in steals out of Lanier’s zone. Johnson is flying under the radar with college programs. She would be a nice pickup.                 

Jadyn Morris
2028 5-6 G Jadyn Morris – Lanier
Injuries have halted Jadyn’s young career on and off over her first two seasons but on Saturday she showed what she is capable of when healthy hurting Woodstock with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Morris aggressively penetrated finding great success as she scored on five slashes while mixing in a corner three. Consistency and availability are key for Morris. She’s a potent scorer and a critical ball handler for the Longhorns.

Lyla Sanderson2028 5-6 G Lyla Sanderson – Woodstock
Lyla led Woodstock in scoring with 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, all four of her corner threes coming in the first half. Sanderson played within herself on offense, understanding her role as a floor spacer against Lanier. She was shot-ready upon the catch and shot the ball with confidence. Sanderson has emerged in Year 2, stepping up with Morghan Slater out with an ACL tear. Lyla leads Woodstock in three-point shooting at 26-76 (34%) through 10 games, averaging a second-best 10.1 points per game. Becoming more of a threat inside the arc will be the next step in her offensive development.

Emily Jacobs
2026 5-7 G Emily Jacobs – Woodstock
The Wallace State-signee sets the tone for Woodstock with her physicality, toughness and overall aggressive play. Listed at 5-foot-7, Jacobs plays much bigger than her size. She has a great nose for the ball, seemingly involved in every play. She crashes the glass hard using her body wisely to secure rebounds away from larger players. On Saturday in a loss to Lanier, Emily’s floor game shined as she racked up 4 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. Jacobs was unselfish on offense while running point and was opportunistic on defense as she pounced on steals.

Janiah Murray
2027 5-8 PG Janiah Murray – Tri-Cities
The Hapeville Charter transfer took full advantage of her new home at Tri-Cities playing on the big stage of the Sandy’s Spiel Showcase. Murray stole the show in front of D-I programs as she led Tri-Cities to a 50-43 upset of GAC, dumping in a game-high 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. I was very impressed with Janiah in my first live viewing. She played with a smooth bounce in her step, a fluid attacker who gracefully finished at the rim. While most of her hoops came on drives or in transition, Murray also mixed in a pair of putbacks and a corner three while shooting 5-6 from the foul line. College coaches should keep tabs on Janiah moving forward. She’s got a chance to become a very popular name over the next 12 months.

2027 5-4 G Makayla Weaver – Holy Innocents’
The scrappy playmaker was in the middle of everything against Milton, creating buckets for her teammates and harassing the Eagles into turnovers. Weaver’s robust floor game led to 7 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 steals and 1 block. Makayla’s high energy kept Milton’s comeback bid at bay. When Weaver looked to score, she sank a mid-range jumper, scored in transition and dropped in a floater.

Deyva Davis
2027 5-9 PG Deyva Davis – Milton
Deyva’s dynamic athleticism and three-level offensive production nearly dug Milton out of a hole against Holy Innocents’ before ultimately falling short 65-59. With Presbyterian and Stony Brook offers already in hand – Presbyterian in attendance – Davis added a Central Georgia Tech bid after the Titans watched her on Saturday. Deyva checks a lot of boxes which leads me to believe more and more D-I offers should start pouring in soon. Davis has undeniable physical gifts which are paired with legitimate skill. Deyva has truly elite speed, likely the fastest player in the state of Georgia when it comes to end-to-end speed. She leaves defenders in the dust as she accelerates out of the pack for breakaway layups. Davis uses that same speed on defense as an on-ball defender with lateral quickness and fast-twitch instincts to deflect passes. Deyva poured in 17 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal against the Golden Bears. She drained two threes, three mid-range pull-ups, scored on a drive and had a layup off a steal. Davis improves each and every time I watch her. She is one of Georgia’s top 2027 point guards.

Mya Jones
2026 5-5 PG Mya Jones – Carrollton
The West Georgia-signee was on fire from the opening frame as she scored seven quick points before finishing with a game-high 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Kimya buried five threes. The weight room warrior was a menace of an on-ball defender, helping hold Devin Bockman in check as Carrollton defeated Midtown 49-38. Jones picked pockets throughout the day and played a big role in Carrollton’s 11-0 third quarter run to put the game out of reach. Aside from her knockdown three-point shooting and wilting defensive pressure, Jones’ ability to block out bigger players was awe-inspiring.

Faith Green
2026 5-6 PG Faith Green – Carrollton
The Anderson-signee has patiently waited her turn as her role has grown year by year. Now a starter, Faith’s savvy floor game helped orchestrate a Carrollton win over Midtown as she compiled in 11 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 1 block. Four of Faith’s baskets came in transition while her first hoop of the day came on a floater off a cut. Green’s decision making as an off the dribble passer led to positive results.

Devin Bockman
2026 5-6 PG Devin Bockman – Midtown
A focal point of Carrollton’s relentless defense, Devin Bockman managed to provide Midtown with 10 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a 49-38 defeat. Devin had to work hard for every look she got as she scored from all levels. Bockman scored on a floater, a baseline pull-up, a coast-to-coast left-handed And-1 and a three-pointer. Devin accounted for nearly half of Midtown’s points if you take into account her points created via her assists. Flagler, Berry and Central Georgia Tech have offered, the Titans of Central Georgia Tech bringing their entire staff to watch Devin play on Saturday.

Ansley Dunn
2028 5-4 PG Ansley Dunn – Cherokee
Southeast Missouri State popped as Ansley’ first D-I offer late last week. More will come for the elite playmaker. Dunn’s high IQ was on display against national powerhouse Hoover. Ansley is a whirling dervish of a ball handler, crafty and savvy with how she uses her body to shield the ball while backing down defenders as she advances the ball up the court. Dunn loves using her off arm to slough off and hook defenders when making her way to the hoop. Even at her height, Ansley is an exceptional finisher with both hands. She scoops in layups underneath shot blockers’ reach and is adept at seeking contact before fading away to score with the slight separation created to toss in floaters. Dunn converted two And-1s on left-handed drives. The foul magnet went 9-12 from the line en route to 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. She sank a clutch pull-up three in the fourth quarter to round out her offense. While Dunn was providing point production herself, she still managed to elevate those around her with her court vision, finding shooters all over as the Warriors drilled 10 triples. Pound-for-pound, Dunn is right up there with the best playmaking point guards in the state of Georgia.

Madison Moody
2026 5-5 SG Madison Moody – Cherokee
Moody put on a show with her Central Georgia Tech staff watching, dumping in a team-high 23 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal while nailing six three-pointers against juggernaut Hoover. Madison is one of the best shot makers in the state. She loves to take off-platform jumpers which look like bad shots until you see the final result and understand she practices runners and fade away shots all the time in training in order to perfect her touch come game time. No shot is unmakeable in Moody’s mind as she has the confidence to score from anywhere once she steps foot over halfcourt with the neon green light. The microwave scorer can get hot quickly, a heat-check bucket getter with her jump shot. Madison is an emotional player with a chip on her shoulder. She’s tough as nails and looks to be the perfect fit in Central Georgia Tech’s high-scoring perimeter-based offense. I expect Madison to flourish at the JUCO level next season.

London Smith
2027 5-6 PG London Smith – Newton
Newton mauled Creekside and none other than reigning Class 6A Player of the Year London Smith was the lead dog in the attack. Smith totaled 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals as Newton led 47-16 after three quarters before settling with a 52-36 win as the bench emptied in the six-minute fourth quarter. London overwhelmed Creekside with her play in transition. Smith is great as both a scorer and a facilitator, initiating fastbreaks in dual capacity. All of her points came at the rim aside from 3-5 shooting from the foul line. Firmly cemented as one of Georgia’s very best do-everything guards, too many Power 5 programs are still dragging their feet. St. John’s is Smith’s largest offer to date with a plethora of Mid-Major programs in the hunt with Hofstra, Elon, James Madison, Gardner-Webb, South Alabama, Jackson State, VCU, Furman, West Georgia, Radford, Georgia State and UNC Wilmington all offering in 2025 to join early adopter Dayton who first offered way back in 2023.

Mya Perry
2027 5-6 G Mya Perry – Newton
Mya Perry maintained her baby-faced assassin badge of honor which she earned last year at the Sandy’s Spiel Showcase as she once again stuffed the stat sheet on Saturday, pouring in 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in Newton’s 52-36 win over Creekside. Mya’s feel for the game along with her motor allow her to impact contests consistently on both ends of the floor. D-I programs are tracking her progress. Central Georgia Tech offered Perry after watching her on Saturday.

Maliha Harris
2028 5-6 G Maliha Harris – Creekside
Maliha was a bright spot for Creekside against Newton leading the Seminoles with 18 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 2 blocks. The wiry guard splashed four three-pointers, scored twice in transition with each hand and had two-off-the-tip with a quick layup to open the game. Harris has been a benefactor in her newfound expanded offensive role with CeCe Dennis out for the season with an ACL tear. Maliha’s smooth shooting stroke and rangy perimeter defense is sure to draw recruitment over her next three seasons. Harris is trending up as a stock riser.

Coco Rudolph
2026 5-9 G Coco Rudolph – Grayson
Coco reached the 1,500-point plateau in the first quarter against Loganville as Grayson cruised to a 55-37 win. The Kennesaw State-signee erupted for an easy 30 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals. Rudolph hit three mid-range pull-ups and scored eight times in transition. Coco is an electric athlete, a wiry shot-maker who can fill it up from all levels. She can be overwhelming as a defender, both on-ball knocking away steals with her length and off-ball as a safety picking off passes in the press.

Tamera Rudolph
2026 5-6 G Tamera Rudolph – Grayson
Part of a triangle-and-two which focused on also slowing down Coco Rudolph, Tammy Rudolph was still effective while facing the special defensive treatment, finishing with 9 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals. Rudolph’s stat line perfectly describes the type of player she is: Tammy is a winner that influences games across the box score. Listed anywhere from 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8, whatever height Tamera really is, she plays even bigger with how tough she is. Rudolph is a tremendous rebounder for a guard and a physical defender. The reigning Region 4-6A Defensive Player of the Year touts offers from Shorter, Eureka and Wesleyan. I love her grit to earn her playing time at the D-II level somewhere.
