Wootten 150 2026
Coach Kysah George and her winning 2027/2028 5n5 championship team at the 2026 Wootten 150.
High-level talent in a well-organized, competitive setting!
October 17, 2026
Held September 26-27, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Las Vegas Athletic Center (Saturday) and Coronado High School (Sunday), the Wootten 150 saw 154 girls compete in two groups of approximately equal size. Players of the graduation classes of 2027 and 2028 formed one group with players of the classes of 2029 and 2030 forming the second cluster taking the court at separate times. The vast majority of these invited players will eventually sign with a Power 4 program or a quality mid-major.
2026 marked seventh year of the event presented by Coach Wootten Basketball Camp with sponsors including Mark Doman Creative Planning, Silver Wave Media, Under Armour, Deuce Brand and Scott Spinuzzi. The event is headed up by Joe Wootten (son of legendary coach Morgan Wootten). He is also chairman of the McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee having been involved with the McDonald’s Games since 1997. His wife Terri Lynn Wootten is also a camp director and has been involved with the McDonald’s All American games since 2003 becoming Director of the McDonald’s All American Games Nomination and Selection Committee in 2007. Observing the camp were six other McDonald’s All American Games voters as well as a multiple non-voting scouts and writers including myself.

The Breakdown.
As has been seen elsewhere, the incoming senior class had the fewest in terms of ESPN’s highly ranked players. The trend seems to be that the seniors are more involved with college visits or may have already committed for the next level and are just pointed to wrapping up their senior year. Still there were lots of Power Four prospects. Talent was even deeper in the 2028 (junior) group but still had several highly ranked prospects choosing not to come. Conversely, the talent was close to overwhelming in 2029 (sophomores) and 2030 (freshmen) classes as these ‘hungry’ youngsters were eagerly trying to make a name for themselves. One must remember that the cost of attending any out-of-area camp (and this was a very good one) is not cheap. Expenses of camp registration, travel, lodging and meals while traveling, have to be factored into the family budget.
Parents need to cool it!
I see way too many parents suffering emotional trauma as to what camps are inviting their daughters, how their child performs at the camp and any downward swings in published ranking. Player development is more a marathon than a sprint and there are going to be ups and downs along the way whether an injury to overcome or a bad weekend of play.
Parents need to let the process be enjoyable. Do not be demeaning your child for a missed shot or having a bad weekend. Encourage learning through errors and always be respectful of opponents as their goals are usually similar. In sum, do not get too high on the wins nor too low on setbacks. Take the journey a step at a time and do not get ahead of yourself (both player and parent).

You were all good…
Everybody at this camp is a good player in that unlike the vast majority of their peers, these girls will get athletic scholarship offers. At camps like this where a scout has a short period of time to see so much talent, the observer may not see any one player at her best. Thus, instead of critiquing the players below on a very short amount of observation, I am just listing players below that in whom I saw something positive at some point that would tell me that Power 4 level coaches/scouts should be monitoring them going forward. Any player who has announced a college commitment has that listed for the player. Please remember just because a name is not listed for this relatively brief time observed, I did not notice her enough to comment further if I were going to.
Wootten 150 2027/2028 3×3 champions: (L-R) #59 Brooklyn Miles, #16 Jhaliana Guy, #111 Reece Gilpatrick, #91 Bella Owumi.
Players below are listed alphabetically within respective classes with listed height, position and high school with state location of school in parenthesis. They stood out as having Power 4 upside or close to it, showing at least one of: superior skills for class, higher athletic upside, exceptional motor and/or high basketball IQ. Again, there was so much to digest in the time allowed.
