We will be posting evaluations from the videos weekly. This month, we take a look at some of the new highlight videos that have been sent to us or posted in June.   Class of 2022 Tanner Bost – 5’5 PG/SG (The Rock School / Sharing Out Savior) 2021 Jacksonville Magic May Madness Tournament Highlights Aggressive, attacking combo guard who plays well in the open court and attacking the rim downhill. She is a tough, gritty defender who plays aggressive on ball defense. Love the fearlessness she plays with on both ends of the floor and the energy she gives to her teammates. Very coachable, selfless player who does all the little things that you want in a teammate and player on your team. Capable of knocking down 3 off the pass and off the dribble and has a 1-2 dribble step back 3.

She has already surpassed 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her High School career and was 2020-21 SIAA All-Conference and 2019-20 SIAA MVP. She is deceptively athletic and runs the floor well for a player her size. She has active hands and has a knack for being around the ball. She plays very unselfish and gives up the ball to the open player. Uses her size and strength well to impact that game 5 feet and in. Scores most of her points at the rim off of post ups, offensive rebounds, and layups in transition from running the floor.

She walks in the gym and is in range anywhere on the court. Quick release with high release. Has improved her ability to put the ball to the floor and attack in the open floor with both her left and right hand. Did a good job getting into the paint and creating shots for her teammates. Activity level on the defensive end has improved as well as she has ability to be an aggressive on ball defender and can run through passing lanes for steals one pass away. High basketball IQ with good court vision. Very well rounded player whose biggest strength is her ability to shoot a high percentage from 3. https://youtu.be/pNnbWfc1RjE     [player_tooltip player_id="91597" first="Paige" last="McDonald"] – 5’11 Wing (Cocoa HS / Miami Suns) 2020-21 High School and 2021 Travel Team Highlights Long, athletic, versatile wing who can put the ball in the basket in a variety of ways. She has nice shooting form with a soft touch and can knock it down from 15 feet all the way out to 3. Her length and athleticism are put on display on the defensive end as a rebounder, shot blocker and all-around active defender. Her energy and activity level are x-factors for her. When playing hard and with a lot of energy she impacts the game in a big way on both ends of the floor and has potential to be a mid-major D1 prospect. I think her best basketball is ahead of her and has a big upside!
