PGH Legacy Classic: Quick Notes To End

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the weekend there was so much talent displayed at all levels. A good amount of talent that I didn't get to mention or write about, until now. Below I'm going to be dropping some more quick notes on other players that really stood out to me, enjoy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["342195"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hogan put together a nice tournament overall. Had some games that she really stood out scoring the ball and getting to her spots on the floor. A player who has good head on her shoulders accompanied with some nice overall skill when it comes to scoring, handling, and rebounding at a high rate. Can be a player who can come out and score 25 in the blink of an eye with her shooting ability.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["246101"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Riley left off right where she started during the state tournament. An [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] scoring threat with the ball in her hands. Takes a lot of contact while being able to finish near the rim. Deadly three point shot with a quick release once she creates space.

She scored in bunches and in a hurry, played some intense defense, and left it all on the floor.

If she keeps expanding her game while she grows, watch out, because if so she is going to be one of the top players in her state by the end of her high school career.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["560335"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='560335' first='Jordyn' last='Crosman'] had some good moments, had some not so good moments, but all in all played well for her team this weekend on the way to a bunch of wins. Crosman was blowing by her defenders with ease, getting to the middle of the floor and finding open teammates. Defensively she did a great job jumping to the ball, creating a good amount of steals for her Play4Him 2026 white team.

Nicholson is playing up an age group for her 25 Eight Mentality 2027 team and is still usually one of the tallest, if not thee tallest, player on the floor a majority of the time. This seventh grader is special. Stands at 5'11 currently. Has a smooth handle, [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] passing ability, and the skill to score from almost anywhere on the court.

I like Van Weelden's game. She is always ready to catch and shoot at the three point line while being a great on-ball defender. Another great piece to have on the floor for a team that is diverse and effecient.

She creates space early, possesses excellent footwork, displays that she can play through contact, is extremely coordinated, and understands her size to a T. Another big name to know out of Illinois.

There wasn't a player I saw all weekend that beat Owens, if they did it was only momentarily as her recover speed is impeccable. Not to mention on the offensive side of things she is better than most.
