PGH OK Top 250 Expo: Team 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My last piece to wrap up my coverage of Sunday's Prep Girls Hoops Oklahoma Top-250 Expo will be a review of the entirety of Team 1. As I've said time and again, it can be very hard to play in these thrown-together situations, but these athletes have been doing it all their lives. They are some of the best in the state and they came out ready to take on all comers. Take a look at these outstanding prospects!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Raegen Bugaj was written about <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/09/pgh-top-250-ok-all-showcase-second-team/">here as part of the All-Showcase Second Team.</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["525662"],"_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":"Myah is a small town kid that is going to be turning a lot of coaches' heads pretty soon. She, like a lot of the 2026 class, plays like someone who has been playing a lot longer than they have been alive. She just has a peacefulness about her play out there that really belies her age. You're not going to throw something at her that she hasn't seen. That makes her a calming presence and a player with a great sense of pace. Myah does the smart things to help her team win and she has a beautiful shot that she hits consistently from midrange and deep.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["413333"],"_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":"I had heard some really good things about Tylyn after the recent Lindy Waters III Tournament and it was great to see her ply her trade in person. When you first see her play, Tylyn's handles are assuredly going to be the main thing that jumps out at you. She is slick with it. Quick and smooth, she weaves her way through the defense in a controlled manner and finishes strong at the rim. She showed the ability to fill it up from deep, too, and could carry her team at times when she got hot. Tylyn is a tough defender and made things very hard on opposing ballhandlers all afternoon long. I would expect recruiting to heat up for Tylyn in this, her final season of high school ball.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["773875"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I don't have many notes on Bella, I'm just going to be honest. I can tell you that her jumpshot is a little different than most, but it gets the job done. She is a u0022dawgu0022 on defense and really got after some loose balls. She showed a lot of heart. I would've loved to have watched more of her video and followed her on social media to hopefully get her basketball schedule for this season. Which leads me to the following rant:","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6515b72fcd9f8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RANT WARNING:</strong> It can be very hard, even when we have seen you play in person, to evaluate you if you don't maintain much of a social media presence. At the very least, upload video to Hudl or ask your coach or an assistant coach to help you to do it. There are people out there to help. If you're coming to a showcase, I know you want to get recruited, so you have to be willing to do all of the things. Have a Twitter. Have an Instagram. Have video up on Hudl or MaxPreps or YouTube. I see all of you on your phones. Upload some highlights every once in a while. Help your parents save some money on college. They'll appreciate it, I'm sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773886"],"_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":"Sage did a good job utilizing her size in the paint and came up with a lot of rebounds over the course of Team One's games. She is more of a traditional post player in that she rebounds and gets putbacks and that is her bread and butter. She gets up and down the court well and did a good job defending the paint, also. With more individual coaching, she will develop a better sense for the individual parts of the pick and roll and can really show off in showcases like this. She has the ability and seems like she may just need to develop the belief in herself more than anything.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["626517"],"_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":"Kailey is a tall, strong player who really stood out for her defense. She guarded multiple positions and did a tremendous job against teams who had been running all over everyone by simply being willing to jump in there and u0022stop ball.u0022 It sounds simple enough. We scream it all game long. But, it takes heart to jump in front of someone coming full steam at you and heart is something Kailey has plenty of. She racked up the steals and blocks and showed a knack for really reading the offense. On the offensive side of things, she scored from all levels and showed great touch on her inside and midrange shots.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["773878"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Another player that I wrote the word u0022positionlessu0022 by on Sunday is [player_tooltip player_id='773878' first='Jaclyn' last='Lara']. Only this time I underlined it several times as I kept seeing her do u0022positionlessu0022 things. I did it as she scored consistently in the post. I did it again when she faced up defensively with a guard and had no problem locking them down. I did it again when she drained a few long range shots with a gorgeous jumper. Again when she rebounded the ball on the defensive end, then instinctively dribbled behind her back or between her legs to get out of traffic. But, then she started guarding bigs, posting up bigs, locking down bigs. Like I said, positionless. She can do it all.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6515b72fcdb43"} /-->
