While there was a number of talented players, here is our starting five in the class of 2028 from the Orlando Splash event!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Starting Five:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248376' first='Arianna' last='Robinson'] </strong>5'4 Guard (Miami Suns Select 2027) <strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Robinson stood out amongst the youngers for her quick first step, crafty ballhandling skills, and ability to put the ball in the basket.  She is a young, athletic scoring point guard who had the ball on the string and was fast baseline to baseline with the ball in her hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248382' first='Elizabeth' last='Stewart'] </strong>5'5 Guard<strong> </strong>(East Coast United 2027)<strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Stewart is a 5'5 guard played up one year in the 2027 division and played hard on both ends of the court.  She was an aggressive defender and created her own shot off the dribble.  Just in middle school, Stewart is someone we will keep our eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ke'Mora Evans </strong>5'5 Guard (Miami Suns Select 2027)<strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evans and Robinson were a 1-2 punch for the Miami Suns balancing ball handling responsibilities.  Evans is a very savvy combo guard who does a good job finding open players while also finding opportunities to create shots for herself.  She changes speed and direction well with the ball in her hands and has a very calm court presence and plays with confidence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='400815' first='Kylie' last='Green'] 5'11 Wing / Forward </strong>(East Coast United 2027)<strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Green was a confident wing / forward playing up with East Coast United.  She was one of the top 3-point shooters in the 2027 division and consistently reached double digits on a talented roster.  Not even in high school yet, Green has a great body that should continue to grow and get stronger and has a great starting point from an offensive skill set.  She is definitely one to keep an eye on!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219786' first='Kennedy' last='Deal'] </strong>5'8 Wing / Forward (Miami Suns Select 2027)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Deal is a versatile wing / forward who can play multiple positions.  She does not excel in any one area but she has a really solid all around offensive skill set and a can guard multiple positions.  She brings consistent effort and energy and seems to have a knack for being around the ball.  She scores the ball well from 15 feet and in and she rebounds the ball well on both the offensive and defensive boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Michael Wholey</strong> is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.&nbsp;
