She has a great shooting touch around the basket from any angle and she can also step out and knock down the 3-pointer. She also causes major problems with her length at the top of her team's full court press. &nbsp; <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-413674" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/D4DC6341-5124-4918-975F-6E066765F1F4.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> Hanna Linthacum (MO Phenom EYBL): The 6'4" Mizzou commit is a matchup problem with her height and versatility. She has excellent post skills with the ability to catch and score with good fundamental moves inside. She can also hit the 3-pointer off the pick and pop and the trail break. She's a finesse player who can handle herself in a physical game. &nbsp; &nbsp; <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-307643" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/16610FAA-FF33-42FE-9C22-87497E98182D.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> [player_tooltip player_id="170618" first="Brooke" last="Coffey"] (Napheesa Collier Elite): The 6'1" forward from Incarnate Word is physically strong with excellent skills on the perimeter. She is a knockdown shooter from 3-point range and her passing skills are very good from anywhere on the court. &nbsp; <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-337693" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/BA72F5E2-C27F-4CEC-9562-BB8932AAE515.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> [player_tooltip player_id="204481" first="Julia" last="Coleman"] (MO Phenom EYBL): The 6'0" combo forward from Westminster Christian is a fantastic athlete who can impact the game with her high motor and activity. She can attack off the dribble and rebound very effectively. She is also a big factor on the defensive end with her length and athleticism. &nbsp; <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-413675" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/7B9E5EAA-8D12-453A-8702-48904173153A.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> Male Talue (MO Phenom): A 5'9" forward from William Chrisman who is undersized inside, but she knows how to handle herself against taller players. Her footwork is impressive and she made good use of head and shoulder fakes to get buckets in the post. She also has a good turn-and-face game off the dribble. &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="201543" first="Genesis" last="Rhodes"] (Midwest United): A 6'0" forward from DuBourg who was an impressive rebounder at both ends. Her effort was very good and she did a nice job of getting out of her area to rebound. She also runs the court very well. &nbsp; Kaitlyn Hatfield (Crossover Hoops): A very solid 6'0" forward from Schuyler County who did an excellent job of sitting down and getting good position in the post. She catches the ball well and can finish around the basket. &nbsp; Abigal Hellems (MO Phenom): A 6'2" forward from Raymore-Peculiar who has a solid game in the low post. She catches the ball well and she keeps it high in the paint. She can also pass the ball well from the high post.
