Some of the brightest young stars in girls’ high school basketball are set to compete on one of the biggest international stages this spring at the 26th annual Nike Hoop Summit. Scheduled for Saturday, April 12, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, the event promises to showcase elite talent from across the United States and around the globe.

The Nike Hoop Summit, a hallmark event in high school basketball, features two highly anticipated games: a showdown between top American high school boys and a World Team of under-19 international players, as well as a parallel game for girls, now a central attraction. The 2025 girls’ roster is stacked with top recruits, representing powerhouse programs and Team USA.

A Star-Studded Lineup

This year’s roster includes some of the most highly ranked and recruited players in the nation. Among them are Aaliyah Chavez (ranked No. 1 in the On3 Industry Rankings), Jazzy Davidson (No. 2), Sienna Betts (No. 3), Aaliyah Crump (No. 5), Emilee Skinner (No. 6), Grace Knox (No. 7), Hailee Swain (No. 8), ZaKiyah Johnson (No. 10), Dee Alexander (No. 11), Jordan Speiser (No. 13), Madison Francis (No. 30), and Alexandra Eschmeyer (No. 32).

These athletes are committed to some of the top women’s college basketball programs in the nation, including Duke, Stanford, USC, LSU, and UCLA. With such a deep pool of talent, fans can expect a thrilling game filled with fast-paced action and top-tier basketball.

Familiar Faces and Rising Stars

Many of the players on the roster are no strangers to high-pressure games and international competition. Notably, Sienna Betts, Jazzy Davidson, Madison Francis, and ZaKiyah Johnson were part of the Team USA squad that secured a gold medal at the 2024 FIBA U18 Women’s AmeriCup in Barcelona, Spain. Their experience on the international stage will undoubtedly be an asset as they take on the World Team at the Hoop Summit.

In addition to their success at the AmeriCup, nine of the 12 players have honed their skills at Team USA Junior National Team minicamps, further solidifying their positions as some of the best young talents in the sport. Their development through such prestigious programs underscores their readiness to compete against top-tier international opponents.

A Platform for the Future

The Nike Hoop Summit has long been a stepping stone for players aiming to make their mark in college basketball and beyond. For these young athletes, it’s an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of fans, scouts, and coaches from around the world. The event also provides a platform to gain invaluable experience competing at an elite level, fostering growth that will serve them well in their basketball careers.
