Franklin was on fire from three all afternoon and found one open look after another, so active without the ball in her hands. Defensively, Franklin was relentless in forcing traps and pressuring ball-handlers. Her instincts shined, numerous steals as a result of her anticipation. After watching Franklin on Saturday, it's clear why she's slotted at #6 in the state rankings.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Emily Mouser","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Madison Academy","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Southern Stars - Veal","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Emily Mouser stole the show on Saturday and probably raised her stock more than anyone in attendance. Mouser was flying around from the first tip, chasing rebounds and providing defensive pressure. While she's great on the offensive end too, Mouser could be a defensive asset on any team because of her help principles and communication skills. She also shoots the three at a high level and knocked down a number of tough jumpers. Based on Mouser's performance this weekend, I feel comfortable calling her a top 25 player in the state.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["413025"],"_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":"By the end of the afternoon, it was quote clear to the scouts in attendance that [player_tooltip player_id='513613' first='Ella' last='Wheeler'] was one of the more skilled players in the gym. Wheeler was deadly in catch and shoot scenarios, almost always in the right place at the right time. At this point in her career, Wheeler is probably best as a 2-guard but she showed the ability to handle the ball comfortably as the one and can help alleviate pressure from her point guard when she needs to. Keep an eye out for Wheeler as she could likely make an appearance in the next rankings update.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["382891"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"There were few players in the gym with the long term intrigue that [player_tooltip player_id='382891' first='Khloe' last='Ford'] provides. A 6'4 sophomore, Ford is a true post player that can dominate the paint, even against older competition. Ford was constantly working to make herself available on the block and she showed off some soft touch from 10-15 feet. When defenses began to double down on her, Ford exhibited some impressive vision out of the post and consistently found open shooters. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford began garnering college attention sooner than later.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["652254"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='652254' first='Ryan' last='Bardenwerper'] simply could not miss on Saturday. Whether in the corner or the wing, Bardenwerper provided a deadly spot-up option all afternoon. At 6'0, she has intriguing size and really plays the stretch forward role well because of her ability to knock down open shots or use her height advantage to score off the drive. Bardenwarper has great size, a lethal three-point shot, and still years to develop. She'll definitely be one to watch in Alabama's 2026 class.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651b74659c23f"} /-->
