She can score in bunches from all over, but especially from attacking the rim. Her ball handle is strong, and she's willing to do whatever is needed out of her in that possession. A seamlessly fitting guard who can excel where ever she's placed. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["661254"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":731376,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eCracking the top 75, in a class full of guards with tremendous talent.. Donovan sticks out just about wherever she plays. Her IQ is always the first thing noticed, and her ability to play the game with poise is the main thing that intrigues me. She plays the game far more mature than her age, and she can run the offense with just about any type of player. As the skills start become fine tuned, and she starts to grow.. Kate will start to see her name next to top talent in the state.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["686474"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eA paced type of game but the aggression and strength are present. Ruholl On the drive to her right seems to be a bucket each time. She has the confidence from outside the arc, and she knocks down a fair amount of them.

She's a risky passer, but the vision is there and the passes are usually pinpoint. She's active, tough and has no agenda when she plays the game. An outside shot is present as well.

Defensively she's alert on rotations, she's willing to guard who ever and her instincts to blow up lanes, skip passes or lazy passes are evident. On the opposite side of the ball, you can see her skillset starting to form. Can get to the rim, while also being able to knock down the long ball. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c6d2ae38391"} /--> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=PG">CLASS OF 2026 Point Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=SG">CLASS OF 2026 Shooting Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=CG">CLASS OF 2026 Combo Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
