CARROLLTON, Texas – The CMO Showcase by Elite Is Earned Basketball made the move to the Greater Dallas Area in 2023. With that can an influx of talent and a level of competitiveness across the 100-plus players attending the camp.
The Sunday morning Breakfast Club session saw a group of 12 players hit the gym for an extra hour-long small group session.
DeSouze is the silent assassin on the floor. She lets the results do the talking and there were plenty of those on the weekend. Her breakdown ability is elite and in help she puts a lot of pressure on you because she can score it or beat you with the pass.
Pruitt is a smooth operator on the floor. Even under pressure you’re not going to see her rush. Her size and agility allows her to defend multiple positions on the floor. Her touch around the bucket showed she can be a great finisher.
Mann put together a terrific weekend. You could always find her around the ball. In space she’s nearly unguardable. In traffic she’s strong with the rock and doesn’t get moved off her line very often.

LIST
Arrendondo has been showing out at these camps for years. She’s an ankle-taker but the coolest evolution in her game is the pace she can play with now. Add the much improved long ball and she’s definitely leveling her game up.
Garcia can be a matchup nightmare for the opposition. When she’s on the floor as a big guard she poses a lot of problems. She can overpower her defender on the drive and keeping her off the glass is a real problem for most perimeter players.
Bella Buckets just keeps getting better. We know she’s an elite shotmaker. She’s added so much strength since last summer without sacrificing movement and ball skill she can play four positions on the floor, and at an elite level.
Spencer was making plays all weekend. At 5 feet 10 inches with plenty of speed, she was a tough guard in space. She finished well at the rim, can pull a rebound off the rim and take off and really just make your life hard in transition.
Desdunes grabbed our attention early and carried it throughout the weekend. Her size on the perimeter jumps out at you then seeing her move around from the wing then playing the point creating. She was very efficient which isn’t easy in a camp setting.
Minor was the only 2027 player picked for the Breakfast Club and the second youngest in the group. She has elite size on the perimeter already and really stood out with her ability to handle the basketball and create.
Davis is a savvy player with a lethal weapon in her repertoire, range. At 5-11 with a high release she is a tough player to keep from shooting. You have to run her off the line and that’s when you are in trouble as she can handle and pass too.
Robinson was the only 2028 prospect invited to the Breakfast Club. She’s a 5-9 guard that had no problem being dominant off the bounce. She scored the ball at all three levels and used her strength and length on both sides of the court.
Gibson was a fun player to coach. She brings energy to the floor and is a big guard with a strong skill set. She’s a terrific rebounder from the perimeter and can immediately start the break. Her length, strength, quickness and attitude are a great combination.
