College coaches filled the Alachua County Sports and Events Center in Gainesville, FL, for the final day of Conrad P. Foss Live Period Academic Girls Live Period Showcase, where high-level talent was on display throughout Day 3. Prospects from multiple classes competed with strong intensity, producing standout performances across the board. Here’s a look at several players who caught our attention and the attention of coaches.
Kendall Proffitt (2028) St. Johns Country Day: Proffitt already holds offers from multiple Power 4 programs, and her versatility gives college coaches plenty to evaluate, including many who were in attendance throughout the weekend. She is a three-level scorer who can produce off the catch, create off the bounce and impact the game from multiple areas of the floor. Defensively, she has the footwork and positional size to guard across multiple positions, while her rebounding instincts and ability to initiate offense add to her overall value. In the three games we evaluated, she averaged 19 points, including a high of 22 twice.
Sahara Katene (2028) Zephyrhills Christian: The 5’9 New Zealand native is a high-level player with an all-around game. She impacts the game as a scorer, creator, defender and competitor, pairing end-to-end speed with elite half-court quickness while remaining under control. She does not rely heavily on the three-point shot but can knock it down to keep defenses honest and create driving lanes, where she finishes through contact. In the two games we evaluated, Katene averaged 27 points, including 29 in a win over Bolles, while also contributing on the glass and as a passer. Her motor, pace and production make her a prospect college programs should track closely.
Ashlynn Day (2028) Bishop Moore: Day brings valuable winning traits that college coaches should note. She impacts the game in key moments, plays effectively off the ball and can attack the paint to finish or draw contact. In late-game situations, she consistently pressured the defense and earned trips to the free throw line. While some of her value may not always show in the box score, her feel, toughness and ability to make timely plays were evident. In the three games we evaluated, she averaged 11 points, including 17 in a competitive win over Winter Haven.
Jocelyn Hoffmann (2028) Ponte Vedra: Hoffmann is a college-projectable perimeter shooter with deep range and consistent shot-making ability. Her shooting profile forces defenses to extend, creates floor spacing and gives coaches a clear translatable skill to evaluate. In the two games we observed, she averaged 24 points and played string music to the tune of 14 total three-pointers, producing efficiently from beyond the arc. Her performance generated recruiting momentum, as she received an offer from West Florida following her team’s play at the event.
Angelina Laudicina (2029) Episcopal School Of Jacksonville: Laudicina is a long, rangy 6’2 forward who attacks the basket under control, can step out and shoot, and finishes well in the paint. She draws defenders and creates opportunities for teammates while also rebounding effectively. Defensively, she moves well and contests without fouling. In the three games we observed, she averaged 17.3 points and made several winning plays.
Jaiden Peterson (2028) Bishop Moore: Peterson is a competitive attacking guard with traits college coaches can project. She puts pressure defenders with her tough drives to the rim, can keep defenses honest with her ability to knock down perimeter shots and consistently competes for 50/50 balls. Her aggression, ball-handling ability and ability to guard her yard gives her value on both ends of the floor. In the three games we evaluated, she averaged 11.6 points while making several winning plays that impacted those games.
