Summer Standouts: Select Super Showcase

2026 Kate Harpring of Southeast All Stars

Select Super Showcase Summer Standouts

July 11-13, 2024 | Cincinnati, OH

Presented by Select Events and held July 11-13, 2024, at Spooky Nock in Hamilton, Ohio, 275 teams (grade 7 and up) took to the 28-court facility to play up to four pre-set games often pairing teams from opposing circuits (and by doing so creating interesting matchups!).  Approximately 310 college (440 coaches as some schools sent more than one coach) from junior colleges to major NCAA Division 1 institutions attended one or more days [only the last two OF WHICH were in the NCAA Division 1 ‘live’ viewing period] of the event.  The superior turnout was helped by the “golden triangle” effect with major events in Louisville (Kentucky), Hamilton (Ohio) and greater Indianapolis (Indiana) area all within reasonable driving distance of the other.

Clash of the circuits

This event gave those present a chance to see teams from the Under Armour (GUAA), Adidas (3SSB), Power 24/Select 40 and total independent clubs do battle.  According to event organizers, this was the first year of the event run as it did. Hopefully, it will not be the last!  Without getting into detail, all of the circuits have talent worth evaluating. With so much to see in so little time, most viewed were the teams in the 2025 division (rising seniors or younger).     

Team of the event: Legends U Black 2025 P24

Based out of Ohio but with players also from Michigan and Indiana, the team went 4-0 with quality wins over Wisconsin Lakers 2025 GUAA 74-72 OT and Team Lex [Adidas power based out of Oklahoma with players from Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas] 3SSB 2025 66-56.  The Legends, led by Saniyah Hall (see below), most impress with its depth off the bench giving opposition little time to breath.  That supplemented a starting line-up of future major D1 players.    

Below several of the many quality players of the event are discussed, mostly briefly.  All but a very few are players likely to get Power 5 level offers or at least be under strong consideration (some very young) in the future.  All showed out at some point in the event. Players below are listed alphabetically within graduation class with listed height, position, and club team (player’s high school and state of prior year in parenthesis with any transfer officially released noted as well).

Class of 2025:

Sienna Betts, 6-4, center, Hardwood Elite 3SSB 2025 (Grandview High School, Colorado)

Betts’s older sister (now at UCLA to whom Sienna is orally committed) won one or more national player-of-the-year awards and Sienna is certainly in the hunt for similar honors.  A powerfully built lefty, she can finish left or right near the rim.  Shorter but more athletic than older sister, she showed good court vision when playing out of the high post.   

Jasmyn Cooper, 6-1, small forward, MCW Starz P24 2025 (Noble and Greenough School, Massachusetts)

Strongly built, Cooper, a Syracuse commit, is very versatile able to start the fast break or finish at the rim taking contact while doing so. Due to combination of height, mobility and power, she can guard multiple positions.

Aubrey Galvin, 5-6, point guard, Full Package 3SSB 2025 (Loyola Academy, Illinois)

Galvin may be more of medium as to build. However, as to motor, she tends to be on high looking to keep the intensity of her team on high as well.  She has strong handles and looks to distribute as priority one.  Galvin can hit the three but it is not the strength of her game.

Lena Giradi, 6-0, wing, Empire State Blue Flames 2025 P24 (IMG Academy transferring to Grandview Prep, Florida)

Giradi played more out of the high post (with success) at IMG but is trying to become primarily a shooting guard.  Always playing with a never back down intensity, she got positive reviews for her perimeter play including hitting shots from behind the arc.  Still, let us call this a work in progress as her release probably needs to get quicker.

Avery Gordon, 6-6, center, Indiana Elite Thunder 3SSB 2025 (Brownsburg High School, Indiana)

Committed to Purdue, Gordon is both tall and powerfully built.  Footspeed is average at best and some may say she needs better conditioning. However, her hands are soft and touch good near the rim.  She dominated the match-up (20-5 on points) in a win versus talented Lilly Williams (discussed below).

Madison Parrish, 6-0, guard, Legends U Black 2025 P24 (William Mason High School, Ohio)

Parrish plays on successful high school and club teams. She takes what is given her within the flow of offense showing ability to hit the three, score at mid-range or attack the rim playing either guard slot.

Brooklyn Stewart, 6-2, power forward, Hardwood Elite 3SSB 2025 (Pine Creek High School, Colorado)

Stewart is very light on her feet with a long, medium-solid build.  With her best days still ahead, she showed she can score at mid-range and at the rim.

Anna Wypych, 6-0, guard, Michigan Drive Premier P24 2025 (Rockford High School, Michigan)

Wypych received her first major D1 offer at the event.  In one viewing she scored in all ways but dunking in posting 35 points although losing.  Lean in build, she needs to improve her defense and get a bit stronger physically to maximize her game.

Class of 2026

Saniyah Hall, 6-1, forward, Legends U Black 2025 P24 (Laurel School, Ohio)

Perhaps the best thing about Hall’s game is she plays at a high level at both ends making her one of the most desired recruits in the 2026 class.  On defense, she can be physical rebounding and blocking shots. On offense, she runs the court well assisting or scoring (threes may be option 3 but must be respected) at all three levels.  Her play contributed greatly to her team’s 4-0 success at the event.

Kate Harpring, 5-11, guard, Southeast All Stars Red (Marist School, Georgia)

In spite of coming on to the high school scene in Georgia as an NBA legacy (father Matt had extensive pro career) and having a strong freshman year, Kate was not considered to be a big name nationally.  Leading her high school team to this past season’s Georgia 6A title and making it to the last cut at May’s USA U17 trials has propelled her to be considered in the upper tier in her class. She plays hard at both ends scoring primarily via drives (right or left) and pull-up jumpers with the three off the catch being option three (perhaps still needing some work).  She is considered above average on D and is a good passer.

Peyton Jones, 5-11, small forward, Hardwood Elite 3SSB 2026 (Valor Christian High School, Colorado)

Jones had one major D1 offer coming into the event. She probably left with more.  She runs well and has decent “ups”.  In one viewing she knocked down five triples but also showed a mid-range jumper.  All too many can do one or the other but not both.

Rihyana Kinsey, 5-10, shooting guard, Team Lex 3SSB 2025 (Waco Midway High School, Texas)

What impressed about Kinsey (a D1 prospect) was not that she is one of the best on Team Lex but when things were not going well (team lost), she continued to battle and finished in double figures.  A lot of teams could use that in an above average athletic package!

Natalie Kussow, 5-11, shooting guard, Wisconsin Lakers 2025 GUAA (Arrowhead Union High School, Wisconsin)

Kussow was one of the most impressive performers at the event. A lefty of medium-solid build, she scores primarily via the three or driving left to the rim. Posting 34 points in a loss to powerful Legends Black 2025 showed why she is high on the national lists.   

Stella Sakalas, 6-1, small forward, Wisconsin Lakers GUAA 2026 (Nazareth Academy, Illinois)

With medium-solid build, Sakalas is a baseline to basketball player looking to score via the three or drive to the rim.  She had 22 points in one viewing.  Her play helped her team go 3-0 at the event.

Julia Scott, 6-3, power forward, Empire State Blue Flames 2025 P24 (Albertus Magnus High School, New York)

Scott is one of those stretch 4’s who can score on the block and step out to hit the three.  Her play at the event helped her team go 4-0 with quality wins over Mass Rivals 3SSB (63-38) and Hardwood Elite 3SSB (55-53).

Lilly Williams, 6-5, center, Michigan Mystics Ruh P24 2025 (Home School, Michigan)

Michigan does not allow homeschooled players to attach themselves to brick-and-mortar high schools. Thus, she plays in a league of homeschoolers (probably not high-level competition).  Yet from her showing in club ball she is considered one of the top 2026 post prospects in the USA. Orally committed to Michigan State, she showed above average mobility, fine touch around the rim finishing left or right, and an ability to step out to hit a three.  In one viewing she blocked six shots.  However, when facing the taller rising senior Avery Gordon (discussed above), she struggled to score probably not used to looking up at the low block. Chalk that loss up as a learning experience!     

Class of 2027

Laila Boylan, 5-10, shooting guard, Colorado Lockdown P24 2025 (St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Kansas)

Playing up two years, Boylan impressed with her poise, mobility (causing multiple steals) and ability to hit multiple threes. Major D1’s are already taking note.

Tatiana Mason, 5-10, guard/forward, Legends U Black 2026 P24 (Brush High School, Ohio)

Playing up a class and one of the best on a team that went 4-0 in Hamilton, Mason is physical hitting the glass at both ends and scoring near the rim.

Alannah Morantus, 5-10, shooting guard, Shooting Touch 2025 (Cushing Academy, Massachusetts)

Sometimes, you find quality by accident as I watched this team (limited rep) coming in focused on its opponent.  However, I found this group both talented and competitive with Morantus being the prime talent, playing up a couple of years. Poised and athletic, she showed the ability to shoot the three and score at the rim. A major D1 coach told me they had offered Morantus so I guess I was not making a discovery in unchartered waters!

Sophia Towne, 5-10, shooting guard, Illinois Lady Lightning Seberger P24 2025 (Nazareth Academy, Illinois)

Playing up two years, Towne showed she can hang.  She ran the court well and hit multiple threes in one viewing.

Class of 2028

Janiah Boyd, 5-6, point guard, Team Curry GUAA 2025 (Monroe Middle School; will attend Porter Ridge High School, North Carolina)

Boyd normally plays with one of the younger teams in the program but was brought up for this event and hung well. She showed advanced handles, ability to shoot the three and attack the basket.  Word on her is that she is one of the top prospects in North Carolina’s 2028 class.

Nyajuacni Riak, 6-2, power forward, Wisconsin Purple Aces National S40 2026 (Blackhawk Middle School; will attend Madison La Follette High School, Wisconsin)

Riak oozes athletic talent displaying a nice driving ability as well as “ups” to get rebounds.  Looking raw at times, it is hard to argue that Riak will be a big-time recruit with normal maturation.
