    The cream of American high school players will go up against leading international talent aged 19 years or younger, with many ballers on both teams having already lit it up on the FIBA international stage.

    Hall was crowned TISSOT MVP last year at the U19 Worlds in Brno, Czechia having helped USA continue their dominance of the famous competition. Also eligible to play at the 2027 event, she posted an epic performance efficiency valuation of 35 in the Final win against Australia after racking up 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

    She is joined by fellow U19 gold medalists, Addison Bjorn, Maddyn Greenway, Kate Harpring and Jerzy Robinson, who also has a TISSOT MVP honor on her resume after snapping up the accolade at the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup 2024.

    Meanwhile McKenna Woliczko took an All-Star Five spot at the event in Mexico and the pair will be joined at the Nike Hoop Summit by other FIBA U17 champions in Jacy Abii and Lola Lampley, with Addison Bjorn having also stood on the top podium step in Leon. Jayla ‘Jordyn’ Jackson and Trinity Jones both know what's like to win silverware with their country, having been crowned champions at the FIBA U16 Women's AmeriCup 2023.

    That leaves Brihanna Crittendon, and Autumn Fleary as the only two players who are getting ready to make their competitive debuts with USA.

    The players will be guided by head coach, Meg Barber who was playcaller for USA at the FIBA U17 Worlds in 2024, with assistant coach roles being taken by Sam Caldwell and Alicia Komaki.
