Walker is a quick, shifty point guard with an elite motor and killer mentality. She thrives in the open floor, defends 94 feet, finishes with either hand, and shows she can create for others by finding bigs on dump-offs and shooters in transition. Her competitiveness separates her, and she is firmly in the top 3 conversation in Texas for 2031. Moving forward, I want to see more perimeter shooting while continuing to develop her poise and command in the half court.
Avery Current—5'8" PG
Current is a good-sized point guard with feel, handle, and an impressive ability to change pace. She is comfortable playing in transition or semi-transition but can also slow the game down, organize an offense, and create in the half court. She can generate offense off the bounce and has a good perimeter jumper to complement her playmaking. The next step is consistency and learning to assert herself immediately in competitive environments rather than waiting for the game to come to her.
Ariana Raeissi—5'3" PG
Raeissi is a smaller guard with a crafty handle and legitimate scoring punch. She showed the ability to create against bigger defenders, get her own offense, and make passes when the defense collapses. Because of her size, her long-term development as a true point guard will be important. I want to see her balance her natural scoring instincts with consistently organizing the offense, getting teammates involved, and controlling 5-on-5 possessions.
Sofia Abraham—5'4" PG
Abraham is a young point guard who already plays with advanced feel, poise, pace, and skill. She has a good handle, looks comfortable initiating offense, and understands how to make plays without getting sped up. Physical development will be important as she gets older and competition becomes bigger and faster. Continuing to add strength and quickness while becoming a better defender against bigger, more athletic guards will help determine her ceiling.
Olivia Snyder—5'7" G
Snyder showed noticeable improvement in her overall movement and mobility. Previously, I viewed her primarily through a 3-and-D lens, but her handle and ability to make plays with the ball in live action have progressed. She’s moving quicker, becoming more efficient with her dribbles, and showing more offensive versatility. The next step is bringing a consistent motor, becoming a more reliable perimeter shooter, and improving her ability to defend quick, shifty guards in space.
Layla Hensley—5'11" F
Hensley is a big forward who immediately caught my attention with the combination of size and developing perimeter skill. Around 5'11"–6'0", she showed the ability to attack off the bounce in semi-transition, using push-crosses and changes of direction to get downhill. Her size and strength also make her an effective rebounder, and she flashed the ability to knock down shots. Improving her lateral mobility defensively will be important, along with turning her offensive flashes into consistent production.
Sidra Mitchell—5'10" Guard
Mitchell is a good-sized guard with a nice frame and natural athleticism. She has physical tools that immediately stand out and gives you plenty to work with as she develops. I want to see her establish a consistent perimeter jumper, become more assertive offensively, and continue polishing her handle. Those developments will be especially important as she works toward transitioning into the point guard position.
Khole Rogers—6'0" Forward
Rogers is a big, mobile forward with high upside and impressive versatility for her size. She handles the ball well, can push the break, and has the ability to attack bigger forwards off the bounce. Her skill set gives her the potential to develop into a highly effective stretch four. I want to see her become a more consistent finisher, improve her motor, and develop more consistency with her perimeter jumper. If the shot comes along, Rogers has the tools to become one of the more skilled forwards in the 2031 class.
CLASS OF 2032
Harmoni Spraggins — MVP | 2032
Spraggins is a high-motor guard who set the tone defensively by picking up 94 feet throughout the workout. She showed the ability to create off the dribble, get downhill, make tough shots, and knock down perimeter jumpers. Physically, she already had a strong frame for her age, and her energy was contagious—every group she played with seemed to match her level of intensity.The biggest area of growth is learning to pair that motor with more patience and control. At times, she plays everything at full speed, so continuing to develop her pace, timing, and decision-making with the ball will be important. Once she learns when to attack and when to slow the game down, Spraggins has a chance to become a really complete guard in the 2032 class.
Melanie Parker—5'8" Combo Guard
Parker is a big, advanced guard with natural talent and the versatility to impact multiple positions. She has a good feel for the game, can finish in different ways, shows creativity around the basket, and has a serviceable perimeter jumper. She is currently in my top 3 conversations in Texas for 2032. The biggest step is consistently asserting herself regardless of the environment. Improving her motor and cleaning up her perimeter shooting mechanics would help turn her natural ability into more consistent production.
California Williams—5'6" Guard
Williams is a crafty, physical guard with a strong frame and impressive movement for her build. She understands how to use her body to create advantages, establish positioning in the paint, and finish through defenders. She also has a good handle and perimeter jump. Conditioning will be a major part of maximizing her skill set. As she gets into better basketball shape and improves her ability to defend consistently at a high level, more of her offensive talent should translate throughout entire games.
Skylar Fields—5'6" Guard
Fields is a utility player whose motor immediately separates her. She competes, rebounds, runs the floor, cuts without the ball, and has the mentality to eventually become an elite defender. She is constantly working and brings value without needing the basketball. The next stage is skill development—tightening her handle, smoothing out her jumper, and continuing to grow her overall basketball IQ. Her motor gives her a foundation that you can’t teach.
Opal Smith—6'1" Forward
Smith was arguably the biggest 2032 prospect in the building and gave the event a legitimate interior presence. Her size makes her a problem on the glass, but she also flashed the ability to grab a rebound and push the ball coast-to-coast. As she develops, I want to see a more complete offensive foundation: triple-threat work, legitimate post moves, a dependable midrange jumper, and eventually a consistent corner three. Her size is already an advantage; developing the skill to complement it will be key.
Cadence Porter—5'8" Combo Guard
Porter is a long, lanky, and crafty guard who impressed me with her ability to create shots. She has good feel, a natural scoring instinct, and an intriguing combination of size and skill. One of the biggest questions will be where her position eventually settles, as she currently projects more as a combo guard. Her length also gives her considerable defensive upside as a shot blocker and deflection creator. She’s definitely a 2032 prospect I want to continue watching.
Lira Arapi—5'9" Gill—5'6" Wing
Arapi is a big perimeter player who can shoot while also showing the ability to create offense for herself. What stands out is her versatility—she does a lot of things well, and her size brings the entire package together. I want to see her become more efficient and consistent from three while continuing to expand her shot creation off the dribble. She has several of the tools needed to develop into a high-level prospect in the 2032 class.
Zoe Whitaker—5'4" Guard
Whitaker is a skilled point guard with a good perimeter jumper and pull-up game. She can create offense for herself and has enough skill with the ball to consistently put pressure on a defense. As she develops, I want to see her continue becoming more of a true point guard and improve her ability to create for others. Defensively, the biggest emphasis is defending without fouling. She competes on that end, but becoming more disciplined with positioning and technique will allow her to stay aggressive without giving away possessions.
CLASS OF 2033
Janiyah Searcy — Co-MVP, 5'4" Point Guard
Searcy is currently the best 2033 prospect I’ve seen in Texas. She combines athleticism, speed, advanced skill, and competitiveness at a level that is unusual for her age. She finishes with either hand, handles comfortably with both hands, creates her own shot, and already makes quality reads out of pick-and-roll situations. Most impressive was her ability to compete against the older players and still hold her own. The next stage is continuing to grow her IQ and understanding of how to control an entire game from the point guard position. Her combination of speed, athleticism, and guard skill gives me some early Jaloni Cambridge-type vibes.
Gabriela Quintero—Co-MVP, 4'11Gill—5'6"" Point Guard
Quintero was one of the most skilled 2033 guards in the gym. She is a high-IQ point guard with an advanced handle for her age, finishes with either hand, and showed both pull-up shooting and catch-and-shoot ability from three. Her offensive skill level is already impressive. As she develops physically, becoming a better defender and continuing to grow into a complete two-way point guard will be important. There is a lot to like about her foundation.
Kali Joshua—5'9" W/F
Joshua is a long, mobile young wing with intriguing physical tools. She handles the ball well for her size, has a developing jumper, and already shows good shot-blocking ability. Her length stands out at this age, and she may still have significant physical growth ahead of her. As her mobility, coordination, and overall skill continue catching up with her frame, Joshua has a lot of upside.
Jordan Gould—4'11" PG
Gould was a pest defensively and played with impressive command for such a young guard. She is small, crafty, vocal, and unafraid of competitive moments. She communicates on the floor, has good feel, and already displays many qualities you want from a young point guard. The biggest question will simply be how she develops physically. Continuing to learn how to defend bigger guards while adding strength will be important, but her current skill and floor presence make her an intriguing young prospect.
Destiny Palacios—5'1" Guard
Palacios is a high-IQ combo guard who understands how to play without the basketball. She runs the floor, cuts well, and consistently finds ways to finish difficult layups through contact. Her feel for where to be on the floor stood out. Moving forward, I want to see her tighten her handle and gradually transition from being primarily a combo guard into someone who can consistently initiate and run the point.
Jessiah Lee—5'4"—Combo Guard
Lee is a highly skilled young prospect with a crafty handle and natural ability with the basketball. At this stage, the biggest thing for her is simply continuing to play, compete, and gain experience. The foundation is there, and with more live repetitions against quality competition, I expect her feel, decision-making, and overall impact to continue progressing.
Mya Martinez—5'3" Guard
Martinez is a crafty guard with a good handle who showed an understanding of when to drive, shoot, and make the extra pass. She didn’t force the game and generally made sound decisions with the basketball. At her age, continued repetitions and exposure to stronger competition will be valuable. As her IQ, confidence, and overall feel continue developing, there is an intriguing foundation to build from.
Averianna Gill- 5'6 Guard
Gill is a good-sized guard for her age who already shows the ability to knock down the three at a solid rate. Her size and shooting provide an intriguing starting point as she continues developing. I want to see her improve her overall awareness, spacing, and understanding of where to be within 5-on-5 action. Those areas should naturally progress with experience, and as they do, we’ll get a clearer picture of what her complete game can become.
