OK Royal Legacy Evals: Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='716056' first='Oklahoma' last='Royal Legacy'] held evaluations on Sunday afternoon and was nice enough to invite me out. Not only was the Langston Women's Basketball Team there with Head Coach Kevin Herod, but so was OCU and NAIA Hall of Famer and former Pro, Kesha Watson. The athletes got the chance to learn from somebody who has played at the highest level while also getting the chance to impress scouts and coaches with their skills. Here are the players who really stood out to me on Sunday. (By the way, I have no say in who makes the team and my opinions are my own and not the team's.)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417402"],"_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":"I'm always hyped when I get to a showcase, tournament, school game, pick-up game... ok, maybe not pick-up game, anyway...

This time around was slightly different with the Langston players and coaches helping OKRL attendees through drills. I got to see Logan and her ability to take coaching and pick up new things in the fundamentals department. A little jab-step, pivot, drive, jump-stop move became second nature for her and it didn't take long to see that this will probably be added to her already overflowing bag very soon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["654571"],"_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":765686,"_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":"Destinee's Twitter (sorry, never calling it X) profile says that she's 5'9u0022, which may or may not be a mistake. I would probably lean toward her being a little taller. If she's not, then she most definitely plays a lot taller. She has incredibly long arms and legs and really knows how to fill up some space, especially on the defensive end. On the offensive end, she doesn't take up much at all when she's sneaking around finding wide open looks for her jump shot... which is also very nice. She works hard on the boards and I have a feeling she's got a big junior season ahead of her!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":765613,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='781790' first='Jenna' last='Bigfoot']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Putnam City","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"OKRL","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I had a list of player names and numbers in my notebook at the start of OKRL Evals, same as always.

That's fine. She probably never has been, either. But, like Muggsy said, you can't measure heart. She gets her shot off quickly, she is unafraid, it's still a nice high release, no awkwardness to her shot or anything like that. If you can shoot, you can shoot. If you're able to find space, shoot it. That's what she does. On the defensive end, she's got a little Muggsy in her, too. She plays suffocating defense from the time her opponent touches the ball until her team has it back in their hands. She is ruthless. Quick hands and feet lead to no breathing space for the opposing guard. She racked up the turnovers on Sunday. Keniyah is a BIG time player!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6508933119b00"} /-->
