Top 180 Workout Standout Eval (August 29th)

SESSION 2 STANDOUTS

Top 180 Workout — High School

CLASS OF 2029

Deylamore Tapia | 5’9 G | SA Brennan

Tapia is a high-motor guard with good positional length, a solid skill set, and a vocal presence on the floor. She competes defensively and has the tools to impact both ends with her size at the guard position. The next step is polishing her offensive skill set, particularly smoothing out her jumper and developing more advanced shot-creation ability. If she becomes a more consistent creator and perimeter scorer, I think it can take both her game and recruiting stock to another level.

Makenzie Jackson—Cy Springs—6'2" W/F

Jackson is an athletic, skilled wing who excels in the open court and consistently puts pressure on the rim. She currently sits No. 1 in our Sudden Exposure 2029 Texas rankings because of the combination of size, movement, athleticism, and motor she brings to the floor. The biggest development piece is the perimeter jumper. If Jackson develops a reliable three-point shot and gets to the point where defenses have to respect her for one or two makes a game, it could significantly change her offensive ceiling and national recruitment.

Maddison Madkins, Cy Springs, 5'6" PG

Madkins is a crafty point guard with elite shot-creation ability, good IQ, and a natural feel for the game. She can manufacture offense off the bounce and is capable of shooting the three at a high level. For Madkins, I want to see her improve her overall motor and sustain her effectiveness for longer stretches. Continuing to refine her conditioning and keeping her frame in the best possible basketball shape will allow her skill level to show consistently throughout games. If that happens, her stock has another level it can reach.

Madisyn McGrew—Pasadena Memorial—5'9" G

McGrew is a crafty scoring guard who impressed with her ability to make shots both off the catch and off the dribble. She was especially effective creating offense in the half court and has natural scoring instincts. The next step is tightening her handle and gradually developing into more of a combo guard who can also run the point. If she improves her ability to manipulate defenders, create separation, and consistently generate advantages off the bounce, she has the scoring ability to become one of the better offensive guards in the 2029 class in Texas.

Celeste Jackson—Stony Point—6'1" Forward

Jackson is a high-motor 4/3 who plays with physicality and uses her body extremely well. She is aggressive around the basket and rebounds at an elite rate for her age and position. I’ve also seen progress with her jumper, particularly with the mechanics. The next stage is continuing to refine her perimeter game and making the full transition into a true wing. If the handle, perimeter movement, and jumper continue developing, it will add another dimension to an already productive player.

Tayza Peavy, Georgetown—5'9" PG

Peavy is a big point guard with a strong frame and a well-rounded skill set. Her positional size is an advantage, and she is also a capable defender who doesn’t give up many easy opportunities. The biggest thing for Peavy is consistency. There are stretches where she can fade out of games instead of asserting herself. Playing with a consistent motor and making her presence felt possession after possession could be the difference between projecting as a low-to-mid-major prospect and establishing herself firmly in the high-major conversation.

CLASS OF 2030

Jordin Lee—Fort Bend Elkins—5'8"Point Guard

Lee remains No. 1 in the Sudden Exposure 2030 Texas rankings because, right now, I believe she is the most complete point guard in the class. She creates and finishes with either hand, makes players around her better, and has made noticeable progress with her ability to take over games as a scorer. Now I want to see that scoring aggression consistently. Another important addition will be a dependable floater. She already has a good midrange jumper, but there are possessions where she gets too deep into the paint. Developing that one- and two-foot floater would give her another answer against size and make her even more complete.

Danita Mabry—SA Wagner—6'0" Wing

Mabry is a long, athletic wing who was one of the better performers in the gym. She scored from all three levels, rebounded at an elite rate for a wing, and showed the defensive versatility to guard multiple positions. Her combination of length, skill, competitiveness, and two-way production gives her significant upside. The biggest refinement I want to see is more playmaking going to her right—not simply finishing with the right hand, but consistently creating and making reads on that side. Mabry has developed into a high-major prospect, and I expect her recruitment to begin reflecting that.

Elin McClenny-Wylie—6'1" W/F

McClenny is a big wing with elite shot-blocking instincts and timing. Her combination of length and athleticism allows her to defend bigger players while recovering against quicker wings. She also has legitimate skill—she can handle the ball, finish with either hand, and impact multiple positions. The biggest thing I want to see is assertiveness. McClenny has to become more aggressive about imposing herself on games. Continuing to improve her quickness, speed, and overall athleticism will raise her ceiling even further. I view her as a high-major prospect.

Xyah Williams—Shadow Creek—5'9" CG

Williams was probably the biggest stock riser in the gym for me. Her defense has taken a major step, her handle looks more comfortable, and she is playing with much more confidence with the ball. She created for herself and teammates while competing with an improved motor and athleticism. I want to see her become more vocal and continue transitioning toward a true combo/point guard role. Her size gives her a significant advantage at that position. Williams has put herself in serious consideration for the Top 25 in our next 2030 update.

Isabella Allison-Almita Crawford—5'11" W

Allison is a strong, physical wing who can play bully ball while still showing finesse in her game. She finishes extremely well around the basket and uses her frame to absorb contact. Defensively, she moves well laterally for her size and has enough versatility to switch onto some guards while also handling bigger forwards. The next step is improving her handle and overall fluidity with the basketball. Becoming more mobile and comfortable creating off the bounce would open another level of her offensive game.

Jordan Joubert-Beaumont Westbrook—5'6" PG

Joubert is a shifty point guard with an elite motor who thrives in the open floor and is willing to defend 94 feet. She consistently creates advantages with her speed and ability to get past the first defender. Now, she needs to convert more of those advantages into production by becoming a more consistent finisher around the rim. I also want to see her develop more advanced playmaking reads—seeing the corner out of pick-and-roll, manipulating help defenders, and understanding the different passes available once she gets into the paint.

Addison Collins—Fort Bend Elkins—5'10" G

Collins showed noticeable improvement with her handle and ability to make plays with the basketball. With her size and length, that improvement makes her much more effective and gives you a better idea of her long-term versatility. The next steps are strength, conditioning, mobility, and consistently playing with a high motor. Developing a dependable three-ball will also be important. If she puts those pieces together, Collins has the tools to become an elite 3-and-D prospect or high-level shooting specialist. She is in consideration to move up in our next 2030 rankings update.

Justyce Long-Aldine Davis-6'0 6’0 W

Long is a big combo guard who flashes high-major tools. The length, positional size, and skill level are all there, and there are stretches where she looks like an elite prospect. The question continues to be consistency. I want to see Long improve her motor, conditioning, and willingness to assert herself throughout an entire workout or game. At times she takes a back seat, and fatigue can cause her production to decline as the day progresses. If she can consistently match her physical and skill tools with a high-level motor, her ceiling changes considerably.

Abigail Flores—Clear Falls—5'0"

Flores is a true point guard whose impact goes well beyond her size. Her handle is elite; she has an advanced feel for the game, makes high-IQ decisions, knocks down open shots, and consistently commands the floor. What I appreciate most is that every time I’ve watched her, she gives you a similar level of production and control. Size will naturally be the question as she enters high school, so continuing to become stronger, quicker, more athletic, and tougher defensively will be important. But from a pure point-guard standpoint, Flores knows how to run a team.

Lyric Cunningham—Shadow Creek—6'0" W/F

Cunningham is a big, athletic wing with the physical tools to defend multiple positions. Her handle continues to progress, and she is becoming more comfortable grabbing the ball and creating in transition. The next stage is polishing the overall perimeter skill set—better control, pace, poise, and a consistent jumper. Right now, she can fall somewhere between a wing and forward offensively. If the handle and shooting continue to develop, Cunningham has the physical profile and defensive versatility to become an elite true wing.

E’Myrie Warren—North Shore- 6’1 W/F

Warren is a good-sized wing with length, athleticism, and a solid overall skill set. She has stretches where her tools and ability are obvious, but I want to see her consistently assert herself. Becoming more vocal and demanding on the floor is important because there are possessions where she makes multiple plays followed by stretches where she fades into the background. The talent is there. As Warren develops her confidence, consistency, and overall game, I believe she has the upside to eventually push into the Top 15–20 conversation in Texas.

Jayla Lewis, Houston Episcopal, 5'5" PG

Lewis is a crafty, hard-nosed guard whose production is greater than what you might assume from the initial eye test. She makes plays, can knock down shots, has a good handle, and possesses enough wiggle to create advantages off the bounce. Strength and conditioning are the biggest areas for development because I want to see her maintain the same effectiveness for longer stretches. Right now, I view Lewis as a top 60-level prospect, but continued physical development, skill refinement, and an improved motor could put her firmly in position to climb.
