ANAHEIM, California – The 2024 adidas All-American Camp brought 40 of the 3SSB Circuit’s best together for a highly competitive two-day event. With ample talent on the floor and instruction led by player development specialist Ashley Corral, we got to see these players in a truly elite setting.
From action breakdowns, to FIBA style halfcourt games, and building to full 5 on 5 games, we learned a lot about these players and how they adapted to having competition at every turn.
Difference Makers
This group gets a nod for more than just scoring the basketball. They find ways to impact winning and losing. Kylie Torrence (2025 | N.C. | Boston College) guarded the opposition’s best player, found easy boards and lived on the glass. Addison Baxter (2025 | IN | Butler) may not be the most physically imposing player but she can lead the team in rebounding from the guard position, find timely buckets and keep her team rolling.
There’s arguably nobody in the country with the upside that Oliviyah Edwards (2026 | WA) has. She has so many ways to impact the game and her ability to dunk with ease and set her team and the crowd on fire is more than a gimmick.
Amayah Garcia (2026 | TX) and Meredith Tippner (2025 | IN )are two players who find ways to add value in every area of the game. From bumping a cutter to making the extra pass to get a shot in rhythm Sunshine and Tip were always up for what the team needed.
One of the biggest factors in making an impact is versatility. As the adage goes, there’s no ability like availability. This is where Ava Miles (2026 | MO) and Nina Cain (2025 | CA) shine. Their skill set, size and athleticism allows them to play all over the floor and create.
Crafty
When it comes to creating there’s some speed and quickness implied. But moreover there’s a craftiness that allows elite guard to create regardless of the matchup. Adrianna Robles (2025 | TX) was the queen of subtly. Subtle changes of speed, subtle ball fakes, always under control and always a threat on offense. She would lead her team in scoring multiple times.
Aubrey Galvan (2025 | IL) has been one of the circuits top scorers all spring. Kicking off the summer in this setting she was surrounded by playmakers which brought one of her most important attributes to life – her passing ability. More than just being on time and on target, Galvan used the length in her frame and vision to deliver passes very few would dare attempt, catching defenders off guard and helping her teammates find easy buckets.
For Ariyana Cradle (2026 | OH) there’s a quiet confidence about her that powers her creative scoring forays. Just when you think she’s deferring, which is easy to do in this setting with talent surrounding, she pounces with a quick, tight combo-move and then a bucket. It’s the suddenness, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and its that deception that makes her crafty.
Young Guns
The funny thing about youth and a lack of experience in different settings is sometimes you don’t know any better and it works in your favor. For Kamora Moore (2028 | TN) and Morghan Reckley (2028 | GA), these hours and reps in the gym before their first high school season were not wasted. These exposures to high level concepts and competition seemed to boost their confidence. Moore proved to herself she can create separation against high level defenders even when giving up size and length. For Reckley, her energy and how locked in she was on picking up the concepts being taught is a harbinger for big things. She has a lot of natural gifts and the more she learns the more she’ll control the game over time.
Clutch Performers
Some players have a knack for big moments, regardless of how their individual games are going. McKenzie Mathurin (2025 | OK) is one of those players who is always up and ready to be on the hook for that big moment. In a different way, Maddi Stewart (2026 | OK) has a game that is made for the pivotal moments in games because of her diverse skill set and I.Q. She can beat you with an extra pass, slipping a screen switch when help rotates late, taking a charge or drawing two and finding a wide open shooter. She’s always ready to make the right play. Another clutch performer during the two-day event was Jayla Stokes (2026 | CA). She hit big shots, none more than a three to tie a game with six seconds left, a game they trailed nearly the entire way.
Lead Guards
The kid they call Lil Bit, Caliyah DeVillasee (2025 | MD), comes equipped with a big game. She has an infectious leadership style that starts with elite communication with her teammates. You saw it from the first rep in warm-ups through her team’s final game. Hailee Swain (2025 | GA | Stanford), while not the same style of leader, showed her impact before the competitions even started. Her focused and intentional reps made everyone at her bucket level up.
If her team needed a pep talk or just a funny phrase or joke to loosen up, you could count on Janiyah Williams (2025 | OK | Oregon) to chip in. She played in this competitive environment with a smile on her face that impacted her basket, her team and even in the player’s lounge. Natalya Hodge (2026 | TN) is a lead by example type but she does talk out there as well. Her intensity on the floor made everyone want to compete that much harder.
Then there was the really dialed play of Rieyan DeSouze (2026 | TX), the silent assassin. Her ability to break down defenders and throw pin-point passes in traffic was fun to watch and frustrating for opposing defenses. She was aggressive looking to score early and it really set up her ability to best attribute, distributing.
Frontcourt
Versatile bigs aren’t easy to find these days. Brooklyn Stewart (2025 | CO) is used to playing alongside another frontcourt option with Sienna Betts. For All-American Camp she was paired with Amani Jenkins (2025 | IA | Virginia Tech), an equally smooth player. When they were in sync it was great to see the hi-lo action putting a lot of pressure on teams and both are willing passers when the double and triple teams come.
There’s a calmness to Nora Ezike’s (2025 | IL | Stanford) play. That’s not to say there’s a lack of intensity but her demeanor on the floor and the fluidity of her movement just makes the game look easy, even with a gym loaded with talent.
Breakout Performers
Lanelle Wright (2026 | MN) played with a renewed confidence that has her poised for a big summer. She seemed to always end up in the lane either drawing a second defender or finishing. It really seems like she’s found an extra gear in her game.
Myah Epps (2026 | IN) was coming off a big spring and that momentum had her flying all over the courts in Orange County. Her ability to create extra possessions and find easy buckets without designed touches was impressive.
Like Wright and Epps, Sabrina Anderson (2026 | VA) has been cooking this club season at the 16U level. Seeing her pure scoring ability, with a host of runners and long threes, translate over in this environment was telling that she’s ready to move up next year and be an impact player.
Both Kawehi Borden (2027 | WA) and Nakhai Worthy (2027 | GA) are 2027’s who are hooping at the 17U level. Both of their games have a physicality that is beyond their years, though Borden does her damage at the guard position while Worthy is an impact talent in the frontcourt. If this level of play continues this summer their recruiting is going to go through the roof.
GRITTY COMMITTEE
It’s early summer which means we’re right in the thick of it, transitioning from club ball to scholastic and now back to club. Several players have logged innumerable minutes with their high schools. Despite the fatigue and nagging injuries Brynn McGaughy (2025 | WA | Washington), Sanai Green (2026 | VA) and Keziah Lofton (2025 | OK | Oklahoma) all showed their grit by training smartly but not adding insult to injury. It was great to see them adjust and invest in their team from the sidelines when they were out of the mix.
For Finley Chastain (2027 | TX), contributing from the sideline was the name of her game all weekend. She has a mind for the X’s and O’s already so she was a terrific asset for her team.
AROUND THE RIM
Asia Lee (2026 | KS) scored nine points in nine minutes in a 2-point loss in 5-on-5 play. She shot 3 of 5 from three and that’s one thing you can’t do is leave her open with 10 toes to the rim.
Keely Parks (2025 | OK) decided to end AAC on high note scoring 15 points in 13 minutes in a win to push her team to 3-1. She didn’t miss a shot and led her team in rebounding in the game as well.
Ella Skrzyniarz (2025 | CA) is a lefty sharpshooter who knows her job on any team she’s put on. She can impact the game without taking a shot because you always have to account for her and stay close.
Fa’anaetaua Puloka (2026 | NV) has all the physical tools to be an impact player out west. Being in this environment, surrounded by talent and learning how to play with elite players, you could see her growing session to session.
Kamora Pruitt (2026 | TX) is getting back to the form that earned her a spot in the top 25 for her class. After missing part of the spring her conditioning and feel is back and her size and versatility on offense made her a matchup problem.
Taylor Barnes (2025 | TX) is a consistent contributor, even in this camp environment. She helped lead her team to a 3-1 finish by being a Swiss Army Knife for her team. If they needed rebounding she stepped up. The next game they needed scoring and she filled that role too.
