PGH IL Top250 Expo: Jacob’s Standout Forwards

<strong>2024 Nari Powers, 6’1” Forward, Warren</strong> Powers is a strong and physical Small Forward who spends time in the post and out on the wing with her ability to shoot the ball from deep. Nari attacks the lane with a purpose and can finish through contact at the basket or kick the ball out to her teammates on the perimeter for open shots. <strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id="335797" first="Brynn" last="Eshoo"], 6’1” Forward, Fremd</strong> A talented rising Sophomore with good athleticism, Eshoo is an outstanding defender who knows how to use her strength on the low block and quickness on the outside when matched up against Guards. Brynn runs the floor exceptionally well in transition and doesn’t shy away from contact in the lane when finishing at the basket. <strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="148143" first="Kree" last="Nunnally"], 5’10” Forward, Crystal Lake South</strong> A high-IQ Small Forward with great versatility, Nunnally continues to make a huge impact on both ends of the court. Kree uses smooth footwork and ball skills to create opportunities for herself in the lane and gives as much effort as anyone on the defensive end and when chasing down rebounds. <strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="335762" first="Charlotte" last="Trunk"], 5’10” Forward, Carl Sandburg</strong> Trunk is an under-the-radar Forward who impresses every time I watch her with her readiness to make a play when she gets the ball. Charlotte uses her athleticism to slash through the lane and finish strong through contact at the basket. <strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="148157" first="Evyn" last="Carrier"], 6’4” Forward, Sycamore</strong> Carrier is a tall and lengthy Forward who continues to be a match-up problem with her skill in the post and developing shot from deep and the mid-range. Evyn’s ability to play multiple positions on offense and defend the paint make her one of the top two-way posts in the area. <strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="335812" first="erin" last="stack"], 6’3” Forward, St. Charles North</strong> A skilled and athletic Forward with the ability to stretch the floor a bit, Stack’s versatility allows her to find creative ways to make plays against defenders. Erin is a solid ball-handler on the perimeter and does a nice job attacking from the wing and getting to the rim where she uses her long arms to finish high over opponents. <strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="335755" first="TIA" last="POULAKIDAS"], 6’0” Forward, Neuqua Valley</strong> Poulakidas is a high-IQ Forward who plays equal time on the perimeter as she does in the post due to her superb ball-handling and passing skills. Tia is a talented scorer in the lane and is a great asset on the defensive end with her ability to guard multiple positions.
