Coaches please email your players that's had a great July during the first half of evaluation period (Name, Grade, School, Eval/Skill Set) to popo@girlsbasketballtrainer.com. Thanks.

2015 CLASS

Lindsey Owen ( M33M/Munford High) 6'2 Post-  - Strong, dominant post player who is a first year player on the summer ball circuit. Coaches have been impressed by her versatility and finesse. Great at getting position on the block, can face up in the mid- post and take her man off the dribble, shoot the 15 footer consistently and knock down the 3. She communicates well and controls the glass. Must improve conditioning and finishing with the left.

Elise Holden (M33M/Briarcrest)  5'9-A big sleeper for the 2015 class. Elise has the ability to score anywhere on the floor and is automatic with the mid range pullup. She can play the 1-4 and contribute well at each position. As a bulky guard her biggest strength is using her body to get to the goal. Very aggressive, averages 6-10 free throws per game. Defensively very solid. Must improve lateral movement. Already receiving interest and offers from d2 schools.

Brynn Holden (M33M/Briarcrest) 5'9 SF- Nearly identical in appearance to her twin Elise, although their games are somewhat different. Like Elise, Brynn is a powerful slasher by nature, but plays more like a post player within the offense and matches up well to taller players. Great shooter and rebounder. Must improve left hand finishing and ball handling. The Holden duo would be a great addition to a mid-major d1, but according to some local college coaches, "they would dominate in the Gulf South Conference."

Olivia Roberts (M33M/St. Georges)  5'9 G - Olivia has the talent and athletic ability to take over a game on both sides of the floor. Unlike most guards who specialize, Olivia is equally as good at slashing as shooting the 3 ball. The lefty can finish well with both hands and has a lightning fast release on her jumper. Has superb work ethic and love for the game.  Very quick and can defend the small, fast guards. Off the floor she carries a high GPA from a prestige private school. Must improve interior ball handling.

Alexis Hamlet (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/West Memphis) Combo Guard. Great slasher and finisher at the rim, can take the contact and still finish. Good mid range game, still some work to be done at the 3 range. Great competitor, super wingspan for her size, gets a lot of defections.

Oreona Brown (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/Ridgeway) Guard. Many like her athleticism and work ethic on defensive end of floor.

2016 CLASS
Charity Savage (Memphis Lady All Stars/Bartlett) 6'1", 170 lbs, Combo. Long, athletic, explosive. Good ball handler. Can score at all three levels. Excellent rebounder. Very unselfish, coachable. Great student.

Jessica Jackson (Memphis Lady All Stars/Bartlett) 5'9", PG. Averaging 16 pts, 8 asst, 4 Rebs. Floor general. Defends her position well. Very competitive. Great student.


Manaya Jones (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/Raleigh-Egypt) Post. She has a legitimate D1 type body, can run the floor, shot blocker in the paint.  Already has good post moves, will be a great player at a high level.


Nicole Ferris (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/St Benedict) Shooting Guard. Great length.

Imani Johnson (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/DeSoto Central) Forward. Lost a lot of weight and now shooting better from mid range

Tori Sewell (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/Arlington) Long Shooting Guard. Has improved her rip and go to the hole this summer, needs to work on her game on the defensive end of floor


2017 CLASS

Ashtyn Baker (Team Memphis Elite-Williams/Northpoint Christian) Distributing Point Guard with scoring abilities. Has attracted attention for her speed and willingness to work on both ends of the court.


Rochelle Lee (Team Memphis Elite- Burton/Southwind) Has been scoring out the post and making jump shots. Being a presence defensively and on the boards.

Destinee Manning (Team Memphis Elite- Burton/Southwind) Forward.  Played well. Controlled boards and got put backs. Real aggressive defensively.

Hannah Shafer (M33M/Northpoint Christian) 6'2  -This rising sophomore spent her first summer on the basketball circuit after switching from volleyball. She shows immense potential, while already demonstrating game changing capabilities. She is a true post in the sense that she loves to grind, rebound, get offensive put backs and shut down her man on defense. Her biggest strength is her work ethic, she runs the floor like a deer, averaging 3-4 rim run buckets a game. She has a great jump shot, 80 percent free throw shooter and will be able to knock the 3 down in a year or so as she gets stronger. Will be a D1 recruit by her senior year as she continues to learn the game and gain confidence. Must improve back to the basket moves and passing.

2018 CLASS
Shay Johnson (Team Memphis Elite - Burton/FACS) PG. Played amazingly showing her speed getting to the rim in half court sets and transition.

Gabriella Lewis (Team Memphis Elite - Burton/MHEA) Guard. Been shooting lights out
