2025 Layla Hays has the attention of all programs around the country

Lady Phenom is expanding its coverage, and we are heading out to Alaska for this story. Yes, Alaska… as we spoke to a big-time prospect that is part of the Class of 2025 and is one that has been collecting offer after offer. 2025 6’5 Layla Hays is not only a dual-sport athlete, but she […]

Layla played in the Nike World Basketball Festival this past September with some of the Country’s best prospects.

Layla Hays, 6' 5" (2025), reminds me of Olivia "THE BIG O" Yukosa, 6' 4" (2026). Both
are BIG "Bigs". This could be a WEST COAST vs EAST COAST decision for these talented ladies.

Not positive, but the 1st player that she blocked looked a lot like Morgan Chelli.

I agree. # 3 had on a "West" uniform jersey. Maybe Morgan can bring Layla to
Storrs!! Layla was #10 in the North Jersey. Did anyone recognize # 24 passing
to Layla in the sequence in the middle of this video. Could be SARAH STRONG??!!
A nice pass from a BIG to a BIG!!

Ridiculously advanced for a freshman. Very similar game to Maya Moore at this age.

Only in eighth grade, Westtown’s Jordyn Palmer has varsity game

Palmer doesn't shy away from intense moments. In fact, she enjoys moments like her battle with senior star Hannah Hidalgo and Paul VI.

I recently had a conversation with one of the top AAU coaches in the country and he told me a story about coaching against Maya when she played AAU ball. He then said to me: "Jordyn Palmer is the closest I've seen to Maya." Quite the compliment.

I'm not surprised at that comment. What jumped out to me was the core strength and control of her body along with the attack mentality. Very impressive for 14 years old. The other kid I've noticed this with is 2026 Jerzy Robinson. UConn will have room for both of them. ;)

Layla Hays has a boatload of offers. Duke and Oregon are the most recent.

With offers like that I presume both she and Gandy will start showing up on ESPN's top 60 list for 2025 but both are missing from that now. Gandy probably because she might be more of a project that has only been in the country one year, and Layla because it is hard to get attention or be seen in Alaska.

Darn Sluconn, it's so good to have you back where you belong, If we can find Carnac tranquility will prevail once again on the BY. Question: we get Morgan and Allie next year, do you think they will play as 1 and 2 or Maybe Morgan slides to wing. Plus what wing on our POI's and recruits best fits in as a Husky?
Expand ...
I'll give you a list of the kids I see having good wing skills. In '24 Ziebell is a pure 2 guard however Cheli is a wildcard. She has PG skills handling and passing and could play it as a backup option. But she can defend 2s and 3s and rebounds really well at both ends so her first shots at PT would probably come at those two spots.
In '25 the two best wings would be Alexander and Davidson if GA could get them plus McGaughy (no offer yet) can play wing well but probably projects as a stretch 4.
For '26 both Bjorn and Hall are really nice wing prospects. If UConn can get 1-2 of this mix in '25 and '26 they'll be stacked for awhile.
 
Watching U.S.A. basketball this summer - it seemed to me that Allie was so thin and skinny compared to the other players. But now in High school games she appears much bigger and stronger. Just my eyes?
