Team 4 Evals:
2024 CG Lucy Larson (West Seattle HS) – Just starting her freshman school year, Larson came to play. She displayed a slick handle and ability to get her own shot off with step backs and stop and go moves. The lefty guard can play the one or two and she did hit some outside and midrange shots. She is still growing and filling out slowly but surely, which makes her intriguing as a prospect. Larson won the Top Stock Riser Award of Session 2. If she continues to develop and play with great confidence like she did at the showcase, she could very well be on her way to being a scholarship player at the Division 1 level. *Feature image
2023 5’5 PG Chloe Burns Chloe Burns 5'5" | PG Kennedy Catholic | 2023 WA (Kennedy Catholic HS) – One of the higher IQ players in attendance. Burns is coachable and attentive on and off the court. She is a quality shooter from range as well. She is not the biggest or most athletic player on the floor, but her shooting and IQ is certainly going to help her get opportunities at some level of college.
2021 5’8 SG Amerie Pastores Amerie Pastores 5'6" | PG Kentridge | 2021 State WA (Kentridge HS) – Hard working senior that had some good moments during the showcase with her shooting ability. Pastores is pretty quiet and then she will make a couple plays that catch your attention. She is pretty solid all around and can make some plays off the bounce to get to the paint and score. A small college prospect in the senior class.
2021 5’9 SG Aliya Richmond (Ravenscroft School-NC) – Winner of the Top Hustler Award from Session 2. Richmond is quick and wiry strong from the off guard position. Her motor keeps going and it enables her to turn defense to offense and score in transition. A potential impact player at the NAIA or Division 2 level. She is highly interested in attending college in the Pacific Northwest/West Coast. Email me Nars@prephoops.com for more info and I will get you in touch with her club coach.
2025 6’2 C Malia Ruud (McLoughlin MS) – One of the youngest players in the showcase has a good amount of potential and showed some things despite her youth. Ruud, who will attend Chiawana High School a year from now, is a strong body post player with developing offensive skills. She runs the floor well for her size and the fact she is still growing into herself. She has good shooting form and appears to be on track to be able to hit the outside jumper over the course of time. She has above average footwork for her age to go along with some shoulder and ball fakes. Focusing on getting lift off the ground to finish her layup/shot after making a counter move will take her game to the next level. A Division 1 prospect in the 2025 class.
