| KAYLINN KEMP (NLMA 2025 ELITE) |
I have a knack for a lot of different things but observing players that are ahead of the game, those with next level potential, those who are "can't misses" is just something I do however nowadays too much emphasis is placed on "rankings" which is only someone else's opinion and once you step onto onto the floor, it's meaningless unless you prove it over and over again, against equally talented players because one of my favorite saying is "it's not what you do, it's who you do it against" but more importantly it's who's actually watching you do it and how credible they are and my credibility at observing talent has nothing to do with the success my OWN daughter has had including playing in the WNBA so I always keep it real and the abundance of young talented players I caught at the YBOA Texas State Championship definitely had me smiling and here a few, I'll be TWEETING out more as I try and raise my Instagram game at a later date, like never but here we go

| EMERY BLACK (SA LADY HOOPS) |
2023
Emery Black-guard (SA Lady Hoops) strong and powerful sums her game up but the intangibles are simply everywhere as she plays hard on every possession, she battles for boards, finishes strong in the paint and can score from outside which simply means she has a huge upside
Londyn Oliphant-guard (NLMA Elite) I guess the phrase "all bets are off" applies because she's definitely showing #BCS signs right now and hasn't become what she will become. High energy, scores an abundance of ways, moves galore, sees floor, handles ball, defends, etc, etc, etc ....
2024
Jordan MacIntosh-guard (Flight Elite) attacks basket hard, contact doesn't phase her, plays hard defense baseline to baseline, rebounds well for her size and just keeps coming at you. Also showed she could not only create her shot but nail it
Kayley O'Neal -guard (DC Queens Waco) what an early Sunday morning show she put on as she simply did a lot of everything , trapped, passing lane, steals galore, saw the floor and just for fun, definitely mine, put the ball in the basket multiple ways
Julissa Bollinger -guard (SA Lady Hoops 2024) talented guard that handles the ball well under pressure and adds a little something extra to get of traps. She gets to the basket very well and showed a nice behind the back move to set defenders up
2025
Kaylinn Kemp- guard (NLMA 2025 Elite) long and athletic players are everywhere at this stage yet under control and poised is something many have to grow into but Kemp showed me a lot very quickly, gets to the basket, finishes and hits the midrange but also creates her shot
2026
Aria Jefferson -guard (NLMA 2026) I have saying, well I have a lot and one is #sizedontmatter when you can play and when you already can handle the ball in traffic, go coast to coast under pressure, see the floor and, drum-roll please, playing the passing lane, well you're on track
2027
Peyton Gloster (DC Queens 2027 Orange) when you already understand simple things like diving for loose ball, attacking the basket under control and taking the right shot, oh yeah, playing the passing lane definitely was huge, well everything else will soon fall into place
Kori Singleton-guard (Flight Elite) one of those "never takes a play off" players I mention a lot and the easiest way to explain it is she's everywhere, regroups nice, good speed and athleticism, especially at this age and she can score off the dribble plus she plays the passing lane
