DACULA, Georgia, - The month of June is a valuable time for players who are looking to bolster their game heading into the viewing periods of July. Jonathan Hemingway and his staff hosted the first annual Exposure in the ATL camp at Hebron Christian Academy last weekend. The camp featured many talented underclassmen that earned important reputations. There were also a few upperclassmen who proved that they will draw the attention of college coaches next month. Here are the standout performers from the one-day workout.

Kaleigh Addie (Atlanta, Georgia), Team Elite Hubbard – 2022
Addie has a mature game for her age. She is a solid ball handler, but she can find her way to put ball in the hoop consistently. She thrived in transition during this camp where she can attack retreating defenders and score at the rim. Her willingness to use either hand is a big advantage, especially for a middle school prospect.
Elle Blatchford (Canton, Georgia), Team Elite 2023 – 2023
It takes a special type of player to be one of the youngest in the gym and still make an impression. Blatchford may be small now, but she has a set of skills that allow her to make a positive impact consistently. She shoots the ball confidently from the perimeter while also handling the ball effectively with either hand. If she continues to work on her game as she has up until this point, we expect to see much more of Blatchford in the future.
Taylor Cullinan (Dallas, Georgia), Skillset Vipers – 2021
Of all the prospects that had entered high school, Cullinan showed some of the most potential at the camp. At 6-foot-1 she showed comfort in posting up smaller defenders and working on the low block. Yet it was her pure stroke from the perimeter that had evaluators and coaches talking the most. She shows promised of being a stretch-4 player who can play the hi-lo game with effectiveness in upcoming years.
Mia Geveke (Woodstock, Georgia), Team Elite Hubbard – 2022
Although listed at 5-4, Geveke plays the game much bigger than that size. She has long arms and a frame that should stretch out even taller than what she is now. She has a great feel for the game where she can make plays with the dribble in traffic. She balances creating plays versus making the easy play well. She shot the ball very well here today even demonstrating range beyond the arc.
Mikaylin Gover (Athens, Georgia), Team Elite McHenry – 2020
Glover was the most mature play-making guard in the building at the camp. Her strength, athleticism and skill allowed her to blast past defenders with the dribble. Glover is solid driving with either hand and can also hit the pull-up jumper with confidence. Look for the attention on Glover’s game to swell during the July viewing period.
#CoachHemiATL@AP_BBall has continued to rave about 2020 Mikaylin Glover's game today. Quick, attention to detail, and just a strong guard. pic.twitter.com/8yKUKiBaZi

Madison Roshelle (Cincinnati, Ohio), Cincy’s Finest – 2021
Roshelle showed much potential at the camp. Her size and mobility allow her to be versatile on each end of the court. She moved well without the basketball on the offensive end and proved she could defend multiple positions on the court. Expect the 5-9 wing to polish her skill set in future years and become a two-way threat.
Hannah Sadler (Lilburn, Georgia), Team Elite EYBL – 2018
Sadler opened her skill set at this camp and showed off some versatility. While she can change shots in the paint with her long arms, she also can hit jumpers from the perimeter. She even showed off some open court ball skill leading the break off defensive rebounds. The strength of her game, however, remains as a post player who play as a pick and pop option in the half court. Add in her defensive prowess and Sadler projects to gain interest from coaches from an array of conferences in July.
Sydne Watts (Woodstock, Georgia), Skillset Vipers – 2020
Watts plays the game with energy and passion. She makes hustle plays and her enthusiasm while on the court is contagious with her teammates. The 5-11 wing-forward is great at attacking the rim from the elbow area. She can attack slower defenders from the perimeter while also being able to take advantage of her size on the interior.
