Continue ReadingTFN’s Run 4 Roses was the premier event of the grassroots season. 2,700+ teams. 1,500+ college coaches. 100+ courts across 7 venues. 48 divisions. World Record for Youth Basketball Team Attendance. There were so many talented teams and players competing in Louisville across the seven day span. It obviously would’ve been impossible to catch everyone, but I did my best to catch multiple teams in multiple different divisions. Here are some of the players that stood out to me in the 2027 divisions.
Grace Turner
Grace Turner
Had a true scorers mentality. Showed ability to push pace and beat everyone down the floor. Quick handles and quick release on shot. Crafty finishes around the basket.
Love how strong she was with rebounds. Once she got the ball, it was secured and the other team was going to have to foul her to get the ball. Good strength overall and plays fearless. Isn’t afraid to get aggressive and can handle any physicality.
Highlights
Shifty guard skills were on display. Great quick release on her shot and can knock them down with good range. Strong shooting from. Also can get into the paint where she scored or distributed well. Showed a lot of toughness.
Handled the ball well and showed good instincts as a facilitator. Poised and comfortable when the ball was in her hands. Set up offense. Saw gaps and showed she can really score on top of distributing the ball.

Showed an ability to score inside or out. Knocked down 3’s and got to the rim. Moved well without the ball. Did a great job constantly communicating with teammates. Active defensively as well.

Goes after the ball hard on every single rebound. Was really strong on the boards overall. Had some really tough finishes around the basket, including through contact. Good footwork and moves in the post.

Was an absolute beast around the basket, but could also extend all the way out to the perimeter. Strong rebounds and outlet passes. Great moves and finished through contact offensively.
