2027 WATCHLIST pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love wasting my time writing that a WATCH LIST means "watch how that list changes" after seeing more players or catching up on players on the court progression yet to the novices as well as the so-called experts, they'll never get it which is part of the reason the "PORTAL" will always be over a grand. This list is based on players I have seen <strong>THIS SEASON</strong>. I have many others that will be added after the holidays and I'll go into the rankings probably after that but I wanted to drop the<strong> Sweet 16</strong> initially and here are my<strong> FIRST 5</strong> in no particular order</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["809878"],"_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":"Alfred is a u0022long and athleticu0022 guard who is becoming a u0022nightmare to defendu0022 and I don't use that phrase lightly like so many others. She can score off the dribble with ease, attacks and finishes with either hand yet her body control is placing her in the u0022highlight waiting to happenu0022 category. She also creates her shot from the outside and drops the mid to long range with ease, partly because she elevates on her jumper as well as shows a variety of moves to get open. She rebounds and her court vision in transition is nice, it's also solid in the set plus she plays the passing lane","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["809942"],"_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":"Bailey is one of the most explosive guards in Texas, all classes included and watching her dazzling ballhandling which includes he STUTTA step as well as the HEZ, all I need to add is her CROSSOVER in transition. Her body control is ahead of her years and watching her turn the turbo on, she has an extra gear, is very special. She finishes strongly after contact off the dribble, she drops the mid to long-range with a hand in her face and her u0022on the ballu0022 defense is smothering","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["809879"],"_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":"Holmen has the right last name because she makes it difficult for defenders to HOLD her, yet she does a good job of holding her man in the set as well as baseline to baseline. She's fearless and shows it while attacking the basket, plus she stays with it when she knows contact is coming which places her in the u0022and oneu0022 waiting to happen group. She also drops it from outside, mid to long-range and her ability to see the floor under pressure is also a huge plus","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["809939"],"_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":"Mitchell bedazzled me the first time I saw her and I was scratching my head on how I missed her. Well she's a move in from Arizona and she quickly showed me a variety of furnishings she brought with her. Let me start with she's u0022long and athleticu0022 which will always be the base, yet watching her maturity on the court against older players coupled with going after everything off the rim gets her the #THROWBACK. Her first step can be devastating as she elevates over the defender to finish off the dribble yet her UPS also helps as she drops the jumper. She plays the passing lane and also does a good job defensively","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["764269"],"_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":"Pringle is exciting to watch, I saw that on the PGH Circuit yet at the PGH 250 Expo, she set it off immediately and kept it going. She too is u0022long and athleticu0022 but she also falls into that u0022never takes a play offu0022 type of player and whether she's defending baseline to baseline or in the paint, the heat she brings helps to create turnovers. She also scores powerfully off the dribble and contact is irrelevant because of her strength. Her mid to long-range has taken a jump from good to really good, she has solid court vision and she plays the passing lane","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655de6a8ecc73"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2027-rankings/"><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">2027 WATCHLIST SWEET 16</mark></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
