The 2025 adidas 3SSB Girls Circuit is just weeks from its first tip. The talent on the grassroots circuit this year is on a whole new level. A combination of new elite faces and familiar 3-Stripe talent has created the most anticipated season in recent memory.
This third of four parts looks at three new faces making the adidas 3SSB Circuit the most exciting place to play this spring and summer.
KATE HARPRING | 2026 | ATLANTA, GA. | SOUTHEAST ALL STARS 3SSB
Ranking: 2nd in Consensus Rankings
Key Honors: Naismith Trophy All-American 2nd Team (2024-25), Gatorade State Player of the Year (2024-25), Overtime Select MVP (2024)
What To Watch: Harpring has established herself as one of the premier two-way combo guards in the country. Her downhill attacking style and ability to finish in traffic is fun to watch.
Director’s Take: Harpring has flourished into one of the country’s premier prospects during her time with the Southeast All Stars. In her first season on the 3SSB Circuit, Harpring is the core piece to one of the nation’s best rosters in 2025. – Brandon Clay
AMARI BYLES | 2026 | DESOTO, TEXAS | SOUTHWEST SELECT 3SSB
Ranking: 13th in Consensus Rankings
Key Honors: All State Tournament Team (2025), 6A MVP (2024), All State (2024), All Area 1st Team (2024), All Region 1st Team (2024).
What To Watch: Byles is a matchup problem. She’s a smart scorer who can put a small defender on her hip or face-up and attack someone bigger. Her versatility is evident on the defense side too.
Director’s Take: Amari Byles is a versatile, long, and athletic force who elevates our defense to elite levels while dominating the glass with remarkable consistency. Her ability to score from all three levels with ease showcases her comprehensive offensive skillset. – Katie Hensle
NATION WILLIAMS | 2027 | LAS VEGAS, NEV. | UTAH LADY PROSPECTS 3SSB
Ranking: 10th in Consensus Rankings
Key Honors: Gatorade State Player of the Year (2024-25), 5A Player of the Year (2025), All State 1st Team (2025), Max Preps State Player of the Year (2025).
What To Watch: Williams is a player that doesn’t mind carrying the load for her team. She’s a physical and skilled left-handed forward who can finish with either hand and has nice touch on her face-up game.
Director’s Take: Nation has proven over the past year that she can be the anchor for a program. We expect her to grow her game this summer with us by playing more of a point/forward and develop that next level of perimeter skills to her game. – Trent Whiting
