The Nike Skills Academy in Thorofare, NJ highlighted the strength of the young talent in the region.  Post player  Erin Mathias lead the way with her mobility and variety of post moves with finish.  She can run the floor and attack from the high post as well as reading a defense with her back to the basket.  At 6'5 she will continue to develop.  Also making a strong showing for the class of 2014 was Johnah Johnson, Sierra Calhoun, and Zaire O'Neill.

The high school class of 2013 was lead by Jade Walker, Aaliyah Lewis, Sahara Lopez, and Rachel Maddon.  

The rising seniors in the class of 2012 showed their enthusiasm when the games and 3 on 3 games developed.  The key for all of the prospects will be incorporating the drill work into their daily routines with game speed intensity and then applying them to their games.  Leading the way was Brianna Butler.  Kahleah Copper, and Danaejah Grant. Others who showed why they will be top prospects in the Class of 2012 where:  Brittney Sykes, Sierra Moore, Alexa Coulombe, and Destiny Brown.   The most focused, intense, and hard working attendee was Alexandra Wheatley.

Some of the best Big Guards on the East Coast possibly in the country.  Brittney Sykes, Brianna Butler, Danaejah Grant, Sierra Moore - stood out throughout the weekend. Sykes is the best athlete - Butler and Grant can score on anybody and Moore will go inside and out for some lucky coach. Love these 4 young ladies. I like Destiny Brown very much a Big PG she is a player.

There were some young  players that really showed well - worked hard - not intimidated just got after it.
Erin Mathias - (Duke bound) has all the tools - shoots/finished inside - works hard can be a special player. Johnnah Johnson - she is alway after the ball  - rebounds - makes lay-ups -  plays hard. Kahleeh Copper, tremendous athlete - can shoot jumper, rebounds. and plays hard! Aliyah Hu;and El - athletic - gets to rim can shoot the ball - with continued work can be very good player. Jade Walker - she is forward - can shoot it and finds her way around basket. Zaire O'Neil continues to impress as she works her way to being a big wing on college level. Aja Ellison - great length, athlete 15'jumper. Adashia Franklyn, so athletic, energy,- work on handle and jumper is coming. A
