Throughout the weekend I kept a notebook full of small notes that I took for each athlete, as I watched them compete live and in-person. In this article I highlight a few prospects and go over the notes that I had written down about each athlete, as I watched them compete on the hardwood. These notes are just a more simple or brief way of explaining what I was seeing in that moment.
Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
#1 – Lauren Stone Lauren Stone 5'9" | SG Platte County Highschool | 2025 State MO – 2025 – 5’9 – SG – Missouri Phenom KC 2025 Reese (MO)
“A solid overall prospect. Moves well on and off of the ball while bringing great ball pressure while on the defensive end. Understands how to get into her opponents on the defensive end being a disrupter in both the full court and half court. A team player in every definition of the term by the looks of it.”
#1 – Carly Cribbs Carly Cribbs 5'5" | PG Bolivar | 2026 State MO – 2025 – X – CG – Missouri Flight 2025 (MO)
“Shooter. A guard that is an all around stud when she is on the court. Plays well with the ball in her hands but is also productive when jumping off the ball with the ability to produce with her screening action and never ending movement. Doesn’t settle for bad shots offensively but would instead rather make the extra pass for an open teammate when things become more clear in the half-court.”
#5 – Juliana Thomas – 2026 – 5’6 – PG – Team Trae Young 2025 Lewis (OK)
“Point Guard with a tight handle, great vision, and the ability to create something out of nothing when she has the ball in her hands coming down the floor. Understands to get the ball out early in possessions up the floor, looking for open teammates. Plays with an edge and chip of her shoulder-type mentality.”
#35 – Laniya Carrier – 2027 – 6’2 – C – Missouri Phenom St Joe 2025 (MO)
“A backup big for this team that is playing up two age levels and doing well in her own right. Very raw in her ability on both sides of the floor but the size she brings to the floor is second-to-none. You can’t teach height and being a freshman at 2027 is eye-opening to say the least. Could turn out to be a fantastic prospect at the end of the day.”
#50 – Molly Numrich Molly Numrich 5'3" | SG Blue Valley Northwest | 2026 State KS – 2026 – 5’3 – PG – Kansas Elite 2026 Ebert (KS)
“Someone that get’s downhill in a heartbeat. Works hard on and off of the ball, never taking plays off on either side of the floor. A prospect that leaves it all out on the floor. Just by watching her for five minutes you can tell that she works relentlessly to become better and give it her all when she is out there. All while being a solid in the skill-department of the game.”
#25 – Lily Pascoe Lily Pascoe Logan-Rogersville High School | 2027 MO – 2027 – 5’7 – G – SWMO Storm 2026 (MO)
“An individual playing up a grade level and producing on both sides of the ball. One of the first players on the ground or into the stands for a loose ball, whenever the opportunity presents itself. Might not go out and score 40 a game but she will have 10-7-5 in the blink of an eye if someone doesn’t tag her early on as a producer.”
#34 – Marlee Stout Marlee Stout 5'10" | PF Frontenac | 2026 State KS – 2026 – 5’11 – Mo Legacy 2026 (KS)
“Great rebounder with fantastic physical size. She has a strong physical presence in all of her movements down the floor and seems to compete with an angry demeanor. May only be standing at 5’11 but competes like she is 6’2 with her ability to know where a rebound is going to land on offense and defense. Can be a difference making on the defensive end with her ability to slide over from help side to alter shots if her fellow teammate gets beat off the dribble originally.”
