2025 Watch List-Centers Of Attention

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm doing something a little different to go along with the rankings, adding players who are on the verge of being added to the Top 100 plus from their various classes. I even decided to break these articles into positions and although some may not be at their natural and possible next-level position, they could change as I see more of them and always remember to <strong><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/upcomingevents/">be aware of where I'll be</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'll start with the BIGS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["616729"],"_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":"Akpotayobo just missed being added to the Top 100 when I caught her atu003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/11/desoto-will-go-deep-theopening/u0022u003eu003cstrongu003e u003cemu003eThe Openingu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/au003e and I was scratching my head on why I hadn't seen her. Texas is big, there are so many different platforms yet players like this rarely go unnoticed by a REAL EVALUATOR so when I found out she was a move in from Kansas. Her sheer power and mobility immediately stood out, along with her imposing presence inside the paint but her u0022hands and footworku0022 were nice as it got her easy baskets, sometimes with players literally hanging on her yet watching her interior defense as well as rebounding on both ends and blocking shots will be a big plus for her star studded team taking a deep run in the playoffs","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["825268"],"_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":"Golden continues to show me progression on the court and back inu003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/11/lady-tiger-classic-impact-players/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e Novemberu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e, that u0022hands and footworku0022 just left me speechless at times.

She's also running the floor and at times, even handling the ball after rebounding in transition but she also showed she could attack the basket and finish as well as defend both in and outside the paint","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["819973"],"_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":"Young is another player that has taken jumps and if you understand the importance of the search bar, you would see what I said about her u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/11/thursday-standouts-peggy-whitley-classic/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003elast seasonu003c/strongu003e u003c/emu003eu003c/au003eand understand the importance of u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/11/stock-risers-texas-ladies-jamboree/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eprogressionu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e.
