Charlotte, NC – The Season Tip Off Classic brought out some of the top teams in the Carolina’s to lock up and prepare for the upcoming live period. The SC76ers, SC Future, 1Dream, Carolina Dynasty, HoopDreams Athletics and Carolina All Stars were among the talented pool of clubs. This event will surely become a must attend non-certified spring event in the coming years.

Player Highlights

Loyal McQueen 2020 PG SC 76ers Black
Handles the ball like its on a string and has NBA range from the perimeter…Has that “IT” factor that college coaches crave…Imposed her will at both ends of the floor, with slashing forays to the rim that were near impossible to stop…Legitimate HIGH major prospect… Lots of swag and panache to her game, with the substance to back it up.

Rita Igbokwe 2019 PF Hoop Dreams Athletics
Prototypical post size for major Division I program…Extremely active on boards and runs floor very well… Showed soft hands and the ability to catch and finish with either hand…Has all the tools needed to blossom into an impact player at the next level.

D’Mya Tucker 2020 G SC Future
Rangy off guard with a nice stroke from the wings…Smoothness to her game that lulls opposing defenses to sleep before she finds ways to exploit them with her quickness.

McKinley Sumpter 2019 Wing SC Future 17u
Athletic wing…nice outside shooting stroke…A leaper who plays with swagger and competitive drive…Lots of positive intangibles especially on the defensive end

Laila Acox 2021 Forward SC 76ers Silver
Athletic big who operates well in the high post...can shoot with touch from 15 feet or drive by slower posts and finish well at the rim…good court awareness in finding open cutters from the high post area…Can play either 3 or 4 spot at the college level.

Taylor Lewis 2019 G SC76ers Black
Lewis is a slasher that is dangerous when attacking the rim. She has next level athleticism that enables her to rebound outside of her area. Great size for the guard position, has the ability and size to guard 1-4. Look for her to have a big spring and summer.

Breya Busby 2021 PG Phoenix Busby
Frighteningly quick with the ball…major college prospect…Gifted on ball defender who creates problems for guards of any size…Arguably the quickest guard in the state…only a freshman, as she matures and refines her outside shooting touch Busby should land on many college recruiters short list.

Michelle Ojo 2021 Wing NC Spartans Watts
Versatile wing; relentless on the glass…plays well down low in traffic…Athletic enough to guard 4 positions…what she lacks in skill at this point she makes up for with her motor.

Jessica Timmons 2021 G 1Dream 17u
Big guard that uses her strength and body well to finish through contact, she also showed the ability to knock down the deep 3 ball….Effective both on and off the ball, scores in bunches from all 3 levels.

Kennedy Calhoun 2021 PG 1Dream 16u
On of the top lock down defenders in the Carolina’s. Causes so much havoc on the defensive end that it affects the flow of  the game. Nice mid range jump shot and she does a good job facilitating from the point.

Amiah Lindsay 2019 F Palmetto Heat
Very long and bouncy athlete, big time rebounder on both ends and a natural shot blocker. Can knock down the mid range jump shot and has a huge upside.

Reychel Douglas 2023 G Carolina Dream
Projected as a high major prospect, very mature game, always seems to be a step ahead of the action. Good handle in the open floor, can knock down the jump shot and athletic enough to get to the rack at will. Already standing 5’10 and comfortable playing the point or the off guard.

Khalis Cain 2020 F Carolina All Stars 17u
Super athletic forward who is just scratching the surface of her ability. Has a chance to be a big time recruit for the 2020 class. She is long and active on both ends, runs the floor very well and finishes in transition. A natural shot blocker.

Ashlyn Watkins 2022 F SC76ers Black
Ashlyn showed why many consider her the #1 prospect in the country for the class of 2022. She was able to control games from the defensive end of the floor with multiple blocked shots in every game. Her offensive work in the post is starting to catch up with her body, she also showed that she can knock down the 15 foot jump shot.
