Wrap-Up of the @PGHCircuit (@PrepGirlsHoops ) MI College Tour Session IV at SVSU: This event was all bracket play. I have included the finishes & records for all of the divisions along with TheMRR All-Tournament Teams for the 2027 & 2028 classes, a partial All-Tournament Team for the 2029 class, & Players of Note for younger players. These are based on who I saw on courts 1 & 2; I was not able to see all of the teams. These will differ heavily from the Prep Girls Hoops All-Tournament Teams (so check out their website) that are based on the divisions that teams played in but, since there were 15 teams in the 2027 divisions & only 4 teams in the 2028 division, & many of the top 2028s were playing up in the 2027 divisions, I decided to go this route to balance the recognition. However, as @CoachEvanBell & I are always discussing, it is good to see differing opinions. As we try to weigh a players production, skill, hustle, athleticism, potential, size, & variability in performance, evaluators may get pulled in different directions by one or more of these factors when looking at players that are close. [Which is why I don't get too caught up in rankings. Rankings are fun to agonize over (for us) & fun to view (for fans), but they are ultimately just divertissement. What is really the difference between, say, #11, #12, #13, #14, & #15? If we were to ask 30 different college coaches, they are going to probably rank these 5 players in 15 different orders based on what positions they need in that class, their style of play, their preferences in types of players at each position, etc. Players, run your own race & don't worry about the rankings; celebrate positive recognition of yourself, your teammates, & your friends; but play to your strengths in competition & work to improve your weaknesses behind the scenes.] Scroll to the end for team finishes & records. . 2027 Players: First team: Co-Most Impressive 2027--@RyennBecher (6'3" F) of MI Mystics Becher is a long, athletic forward that is a rim protector defensively & a versatile scorer offensively showing good footwork & great touch with either hand around the rim. She was the only 2027 playing on the MI Mystics 2027 team (along w/ a # of players from their 2028 P24 team) that took the top-level championship. T'Nay Black (5'10" F) of Toronto Select Black is a physical driver that attacks the basket aggressively & is aggressive on the boards. While Toronto Select struggled overall, their front-court combination of Black, 6'1" Amberley Ifeh, & 6'2" Tiffany Gentles was a bright spot. Co-Most Impressive 2027--Cayenne Buchanan (5'9" G) of Kia Nurse Elite Buchanan is a very athletic, shifty, slasher that used her handles, athleticism, & court awareness to score off the dribble & set up teammates from the PG position for 2027 Gold runner-up Kia Nurse Elite 2027 EYBL. @LFosmore32 (5'9" W) of HB Elite Fosmore was outstanding for semifinalist HB Elite 2027, scoring from behind the arc or off the dribble, especially frustrating bigger opponents with her step through. Savannah Wilson (6'0" C/F) of Kia Nurse Elite Wilson was a strong, physical interior presence for KNE as she battled for position inside, scored with power moves in the post, moved bodies while attacking the boards, & was strong with the ball in traffic. Second Team: @KeiraDawes21 (5'10" W) of MBA The House @emmafirth10_ (6'0" W) of Kia Nurse Elite Mackenna Price (5'6" G) of Southwest Elite @raesmith824 (5'3" G) of MI Mystics @GracieUrista (5'7" W) of The Naturals Third Team: Addison Davis (6'1" F) of Southwest Elite @avadeakin (5'9" W) of Factory Basketball Lily Gill (5'6" G) Southwest Elite @IhoopErica (5'2" G) of MI Lady Playmakers Elli Strunk (6'0" F) of Lakeside Basketball HM: @BrockwayKatelyn (5'4" G) of MI Prospects Alexis Bryant (5'3" G) of Pride 21 Basketball Harmony Danforth (5'8" W) of MI Lady Playmakers @SophiaMator (5'7" W) of MI Prospects @avaseletsky (5'7" W) of MI Mystics . 2028 Players: First Team: 2027 Gold MVP--@Blumberglayla (5'5" G) of MI Mystics (pictured, #5) Blumberg was dialed in all day long from 3-pt land, with most of her long distance makes beyond the college arc & many well beyond the college arc. In addition, she was un-phased at the point and just continued to make the right play when KNE attempted to pick up their pressure in the 2nd half of the 2027 Gold championship game. El'Dior Dobere (5'6" G) of Kia Nurse Elite Dobere is a speedy high-energy hustler that is a harassing on the ball defender & a shifty PG that is difficult to keep out of the lane offensively as she creates scoring opportunities for herself & teammates. She puts heavy pressure on opponents on both ends of the court. Macy Donovan (6'0" W) of MI Mystics (pictured, #3) It was nice to see that Donovan appears fully healthy. As a 6' wing, she is a mismatch problem for most opposing teams. She can hit the perimeter shot, attack the basket to score smoothly off the drive, or use her length to score around the basket. Trinity Venn (6'1" W) of Kia Nurse Elite (pictured, #11) Venn may have had the most up-side of any perimeter player in this event. As a long, athletic 6'1" wing, she is simply smooth whether gliding to the rim on the break, attacking the basket off the drive, or burying 3s & pull ups with her high release point. Venn should be turning a lot of heads this July playing on KNE's 2027 EYBL team, & could steadily move up recruiting boards as she gets more experience dealing with physical play. 2028 MVP--Zayne Whyte (6'3" F) of Kia Nurse Elite Like Venn on the outside, Whyte may have had the most up-side of any interior player in this event. She led the KNE 2028 EYBL team to the 2028 championship by controlling the paint on both ends of the court. Whyte blocked shots & cleaned up the boards defensively, & showed great touch around the basket & on her short jumper offensively. She runs the floor well & has good body control to catch & make a move in transition or face up & score off the short drive in the half court. Second Team: @emersen_holder (5'3" G) of MI Mystics @EmmaIngles2028 (6'0" W) of Lakeside Basketball Adi Johnson (5'8" G) of Kia Nurse Elite @LeahPoggiolo (5'10" W) of MI Mystics @Gianna_Sodon (5'11" W) of Kia Nurse Elite Third Team: @LillyDay2028 (5'11" W) of Kia Nurse Elite @MHawkins2028 (6'0" F) of MI Mystics Amberley Ifeh (6'1" F/C) of Toronto Select Jane Jordan (5'10" W) of MI Mystics @Jayla38792643 (5'6" G) of MI Mystics HM: Hadleigh Byrd (6'1" F/C) of MBA The House Ashlyn Hoitenga (5'11" F) of MI Mystics @OliviaIngles28 (5'9" W) of Lakeside Basketball Sadie Jordan (5'11" F) of MI Mystics Ariel Peters (5'10" W) of Kia Nurse Elite . 2029 Players: [Note: I did not get to see some of the 2029 teams (including 2029 Gold champion Kia Nurse Elite 2029 EYBL & 2029 Silver champion Hype Elite 2029), so those teams are not represented here.] First Team: @ReeseAbbott24 (5'9" G) of Lakeside Basketball Abbott provided constant energy in helping to lead Lakeside to the 2027 Silver championship game. She played tough defense, got after loose balls, hunted down rebounds, pushed the ball up court in transition, scored smoothly off the break/drive, & even hit a couple of 3s when left open. Zaria Eniojukan (6'0" F) of Kia Nurse Elite Eniojukan is a versatile inside/outside force for the 2028 champion Kia Nurse Elite 2028 EYBL. She played all 5 positions at different points; she handled the ball well in transition & even initiated the offense against pressure a couple of times, attacked the basket aggressively & played through contact on her way to the rim, faced up to attack the rim from the high post, scored with her back to the basket from the low to mid-post, & even stepped out to hit a 3. @Audreymiller04 (5'11" F) of MBSA Hoyas (pictured, #1) Miller was a shot blocking machine defensively, while also cleaning up the boards & scoring around the basket & off the drive. We were pretty sure that she amassed a triple-double in their opening game Saturday morning & helped lead HBSA Hoyas to a 2029 Silver runner-up finish. 2027 Silver MVP--Zaya Price (5'9" W) of Southwest Elite Price used 1 of the best verticals in the gym to elevate & score over defenders on her pull up or off the drive & to elevate for rebounds above the crowd on both ends of the court. She showed the ability to score at all 3 levels & to defend multiple positions defensively. @TRoberts473 (6'3" C/F) of MI Mystics Roberts works hard for post position; she is an automatic bucket if she catches with both feet in the paint & has good footwork & touch to score with multiple moves when she catches further out. She also has the skills to face up to attack the basket off the drive, but what sticks out the most to me is the way she runs the floor hard to dive to the rim for easy baskets or to establish early post position. Second Team: @addy_harris20 (5'5" G) of MBA The House @Brianna2Kincaid (5'3" G) of MBSA Hoyas @tarynmcneil1210 (6'0" F) of MI Mystics @MaKaylaSykes29 (6'0" F) of MI Mystics @whipple_katieG (5'11" F) of MBA The House . 2030 Players: Players of Note: McKinley Adams (5'8" G) of Kalamazoo Basketball Payton Brecht (5'8" W) of MBA The House @RBrown2030 (5'4" G) of Hopson Elite @NatConrad2030 (5'10" W) of MI Mystics @LondynC2011 (5'7" G) of MI Mystics @AubriLeppek2030 (5'11" F) of MI Mystics Whitney Morren (5'4" G) of MBA The House Kaitlin Parsons (5'11" F) of Hopson Elite Maizy Start (5'2" G) of MBA The House Laila Vandermeer (5'10" W) of Kalamazoo Basketball Kaylyn Wohlford (6'0" C/F) of MBA The House Ella Wright (5'9" W) of MI Mystics . 2031 Players: Player of Note: Brystal Rytlewski (5'7" G) of MI Mystics .
