Ayanna Williams (Freedom Christian Academy/Fayetteville, NC) 2022 5’8 G/F -

Ayanna Williams is a big guard with the ability to control the tempo of a game or use her size to take over the paint. She created many scoring opportunities by properly setting screens and rolling to the basket looking for the ball or following up on a teammate who used her solid screen to attack the hoop. Ayanna grabbed an abundance of rebounds to start the break and moved her feet defensively really well against smaller guards. #Hot100Girls #GetMeRecruited

Reychel Douglas (Carolina Dream) 2023 5’10 G/F -

From Reychel Douglas’ first appearance in the Hot 100 Girls two years ago to walking away the 2018 MVP, this young lady has proven time and time again she is special. Already blessed with a college level physique, Reychel is the total package with a spirit that forces her to compete at a high level from start to finish. She sees the floor very well and can put the ball on the floor, push it coast to coast, and finish in traffic. Reychel maximizes rebounds by knowing how to po

Makayla Thompson (Woodlawn Middle/Burlington, NC) 2024 5'8 C -

Makayla Thompson is a load to handle in the paint. Her size and ability to carve out space made it tough for opponents to keep her off the glass. Makayla ran the floor very well and when receiving the pass on the low block or getting a rebound she finished well through contact. With Makayla already having the basic fundamentals, if she starts building on her post offense it will only be a matter of time before she blossoms into a very strong high school player. #Hot100Girls #

Naja Reeves (The Ron Clark Academy/Ellenwood, GA) 2022 5’7 CG -

Naja Reeves showed a high motor and some very crafty ball-handling at the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase. She used a quick change of direction to effectively get to the rim and finish. Defensively, she had active hands that disrupted passing lanes and also took the challenge of locking up the opponent matched up against her. #Hot100Girls #GetMeRecruited

Kiara Beal (J.M. Dozier Middle/Newport News, VA) 2023 5'5 G -

Kiara was an extremely tough matchup for anyone who attempted to defend her during the Hot 100 Middle School Showcase. Her ability to get it off the glass and push the fastbreak from coast-to-coast, all while managing to finish through contact around the rim was second to none. Kiara also took on the challenge of guarding her opponents’ best players and did it very well. Once you combine Kiara’s confidence, size for a guard, and her ball handling, it’s easy to tell she has t

Kamryn Bates (Factory Shoals Middle/Lithia Springs, GA) 2022 5’5 PG -

Kamryn Bates is a slashing point guard with a lot of poise who can score off the bounce or extend her offense to beyond the three point line. Using her very active hands to create deflections and steals, Kamryn’s team was able to get easy transition scoring opportunities from her defensive effort. We really loved her overall hustle, as she kept her motor on high and never stopped on either end of the floor. #Hot100Girls #GetMeRecruited

Kristian Jackson (Beverlye Magnet/Dothan, AL) 2022 5’7 PG -

Kristian Jackson was another playmaker at the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase that was very unselfish, actually a little TOO unselfish at times. Although she consistently made plays for others, when given the opportunity she showed she can knock it down. She has a pretty shot with a fluid motion that always looks like it’s good. We would like to see her drive to the basket a little more and create more offense for herself. However, it’s refreshing in a showcase games tha

Ashanti Lynch (Contentnea Savannah Middle/Kinston, NC) 2022 5’10 PG –

The first thing about Ashanti Lynch that stood out was her tenacity on defense. She was one of the few players that was able to keep her opponent in front of her most of the time. We’ve heard a lot about her offensive skills coming into the showcase, but it was actually her defense that was vital to her team’s success throughout the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase. If she balances her offense with that lockdown D, Ashanti Lynch may be a name you hear more often in the n

McKenna Harris (Norfolk Christian/Hampton, VA) 2022 5’7 G/F -

McKenna Harris, the 2016 Hot 100 Junior Division MVP, has been impressing us the past 3 years and still continues to do so. She worked extremely hard in the skills sessions and showed a variety of skillsets, which explains why she is one of the best girls in Virginia’s Hampton Roads region. McKenna was able to make nice moves in the lane and score over smaller guards but was also versatile enough to stretch the floor when matchups limited her ability to get to the rim. She’s

Kennedy Claybrooks (Arlington Middle/Cordova, TN) 2022 5’5 SG –

Although Kennedy Claybrooks acquired an injury on Day 2 and unable to participate in the Allstar game, her offensive prowess had already been felt. She pounds the rock and gets to the sweet spots because she’s always looking to drive to the basket and create contact, which often lead to and-1 opportunities. A serious offensive threat with a high IQ, Kennedy knew when to curl around screens and swish home several pull-up jumpers or when to dribble and drive around them for eas

Amiah Hargrove (Christopher Middle/Christopher, IL) 2024 5’10 F –

Amiah Hargrove has GREAT size for a 6th grader. She plays extremely hard and has a very nice touch around the basket. She consistently displayed different moves under the basket to create separation. She has mastered the up-and-under move that she used countless times to score on smaller defenders. Amiah showed she is a rebounding Queen and knew how to use her body to her advantage. There’s no question she is a special player with HUGE upside and we can’t wait to watch her de

Evangelia Paulk (Asheville Middle/Asheville, NC) 2023 5’8 SG –

According to our staff, this young lady was one of the most surprising players at the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase. She was very quiet with a thin frame who looked more like a Barbie Doll than your typical basketball player. But don’t be fooled, this long, athletic guard runs the floor and plays both ends with a killer instinct. Evangelia also displayed her impressive ability to knock down the 3 consistently. This young lady is definitely one we want to keep a close e

Indya Nivar showed so much versatility on the offensive end. She used a wicked spin move that fooled defenders every time and allowed her to create separation to score. Her change of direction was on full display as she constantly had opponents on ice. Indya has added a consistent step-back jumper which made her one of the biggest offensive threats at the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase. She’s also the ultimate team player, finding her teammates in transition all weekend

Taking advantage of the big stage set with the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase, Jerni Kiaku went viral with one play that gave a glimpse of just how gifted this young lady is. Her play-making ability was on full display as she stayed in attack mode and created plays for her teammates with her dynamic ball handling. At times she made it look easy as defenders tried to figure out ways to stop her. This natural born leader used her change of pace and direction to repeatedly

Zamareya Jones (Wellcome Middle/Greenville, NC) 2024 4’10 PG –

Zamareya Jones is a phenom that is super talented with a hesi-dribble, quick first step, and crossover that has made her an internet sensation. But as crazy it may seem, none of those are her best attribute. That would be her IQ, which is years beyond her current level. Using hand gestures and being extremely vocal on both sides of the ball, Zamareya has a natural leadership that players tend to follow without hesitation. We also couldn’t help but notice how competitive she w

Madison Mims (Carolina Prep/Raleigh, NC) 2023 5’2 CG –

It was obvious to see why Madison “Maddy” Mims walked away with Best Defense for the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase Junior Division. When she locked in on an opponent it was almost impossible for them to get comfortable or into an offensive flow. When she wasn’t using her defense to spark her offense, she was utilizing a quick first step to blow by defenders and get to the basket. But Maddy also proved she is a clutch 3-pt shooter, evident as she put the game away for h

Karsyn Norman (Oolitic Middle/Bedford, IN) 2023 5’4 G -

One of the immediate things that stood out about Karsyn Norman was how hard she went in the training sessions. You could tell she really has a desire to get better. That work ethic also surfaced in her game play, where she played intensely on both ends of the floor. Karsyn also did a good job moving without the ball and setting herself up for easy transition baskets. Her change of speed to get around and split defenders to finish at the rim was the best we’ve seen in quite so

Although Lisa Thompson was injured on Day 2 and couldn’t participate in the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase Allstar game, she was unanimously selected as the MVP for the Junior Division. Lisa is what we like to call “special”. Not only is her shooting range second to none, but she was able to be in on play after play using smart decisions with and without the ball in her hands. She was also aggressive on defense and her ability to lead her team and direct traffic was imp

Cyriah Griffin (Independence Middle/Virginia Beach, VA) 2024 5’7 G -

This long, athletic guard from Virginia Beach was very impressive for a sixth grader at the Hot 100 Girls Middle School Showcase. Her ball handling was very advanced for a girl her age. She made a living blowing past defenders and getting to the cup where she displayed some pretty good finishes, especially in traffic. Although her attack mindset didn’t require her to shoot many jumpers, Cyriah did have a pretty solid mid-range she occasionally knocked down. #Hot100Girls #Get

This little lady, Rhian Lawrence, has GREAT court vision for her age. She showed her versatility on the offensive end and was able to quickly take her defender off the bounce and gain separation for the easy bucket. Rhian also has a noticeably high game IQ, making smart plays in the halfcourt set as well as in transition. Rhian is a kid we will definitely have to track because we are excited to see her game grow. #Hot100Girls #GetMeRecruited
