July Live Period Preview: Top Tier ’26s-’27s To Follow Pt. 2/2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part 2! Hope you got your lists ready of who to watch, there's a few to add from here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='630319' first='Izzy' last='Simone'], 6'1 F - Lone Wolf Athletics 9th Class of 2026 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long forward with a positive wingspan, Izzy's impact inside in apparent. Simone commands the paint with her rim protection and rebounding. And on the other end, she continues with that tough interior work. She's physical when jostling for position, provides a nice passing target, and has scoring moves within 15-feet. Yet she's not a blackhole as she hits open cutters + shooters on time and on target. Balanced and efficient. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='579538' first='Rosa' last='Kori'], 5'10 W/F - Blueprint Basketball 9th/10th Class of 2026 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A swiss-army knife with a ton of hustle, Rosa is a glue player with emerging scoring and playmaking potential. Kori's work includes tough defense inside and out and a serious appetite for boards and 50/50s. Plus, her rotations are timely in the halfcourt and fullcourt defense. Offensively, Rosa's an adept slasher with a developing jumper. Yet it's her passing and quick decision making that can really grease the offense. Rosa, too, is the modern wing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dieuna Beynnon, 5'4 G - Blueprint Basketball 9th/10th Class of 2026 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beynnon's two-way game makes her so intriguing. Her activity in the fullcourt press wreaks havoc whether she's on the ball or off, and she turns a lot of defense into offense because of it. In addition, she's a hustle player who snatches 50/50s and pushes the tempo. Moreover, Dieuna is a PG who can create offense in a number of ways; in transition, out of an organized offense, and also more freely in a drive + kick 5 out. Beynnon is electric. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='647510' first='Meg' last='Allbee'], 5'8 G - Lone Wolf Athletics 9th Class of 2027 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A natural 2, Meg is a slashing specialist. Allbee's ability to snake by defenders off the catch or the bounce is clear, and her finishing is proficient with either hand around the cup. Additionally, Allbee sees the floor and defensive rotations to make the right play. And her 3-ball is developing, turning her into an even tougher cover. Hardnosed defensively with an appetite to get out in transition, Meg plays at a high pace with poise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='630342' first='Cassie' last='Boissoneault'], 5'7 G - Blueprint Basketball 9th/10th Class of 2026 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cassie's effort on the floor makes so much happen. Boissoneault's ball pressure and rotations in the fullcourt press force opponents to make tough, split-second decisions over and over, resulting in TO's. In doing so, she creates transition opportunities, and her decision making in the open court is precise. A sound ball mover, cutter, and shooter off the catch, Cassie glues everything together on both ends. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Emma Maley, 5'7 G - Blueprint Basketball 9th/10th Class of 2027 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The skilled incoming 9th grader continues to make waves. Emma's work as a combo-guard comes with nice offensive orchestration, playmaking, and a scoring touch primarily from the outer two levels of the floor. On the defensive side of the ball, Maley reads actions well and rotates nicely when scrambling. Emma's one to keep an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='592897' first='Anna' last='Ebert'], 5'7 G/W - Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2026 - (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high-IQ 2-guard/wing brings composure to the floor. Never sped up, Ebert makes her move with precision and timing. Anna makes quick, smart decisions that put pressure on the defense as a slasher and as a passer, making the game easy for others. Her defense is just as solid. Anna is wise and measured, rarely taking chances yet at the same time applying pressure. She's also one of the first to the floor for 50/50s and long boards. A fundamental hustle player who ties the team cause together. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alyssa Small, 5'9 G - Blueprint Basketball 9th/10th Class of 2027 (July 21-24 Atlantic City Hoop Group Championship Weekend)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Alyssa you have someone who's game translates to numerous perimeter positions and roles. She can facilitate the offense and make plays as a passer/slasher, or she can comfortably work off-ball and exploit defensive gaps with cutting and spot-up shooting. Furthermore, she defends wings with nice length and size, which she uses to help out on the glass as well. Dynamic and capable of heating up in a hurry. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
