2025s I Haven’t Highlighted Enough

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last four articles I'll have for the month will be about kids I haven't talked about enough and who have played outstanding basketball so far. First, I'll talk about kids in the 2025 class today and close with the 2026s tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='767273' first='Eva' last='Brooks']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can make a case that Brooks is the most versatile 6-footer in D5, and I don't think there's any other kid in D5 with her size and skill. She has as much length as anyone her size and does an excellent job at grabbing rebounds at their highest point or tipping them into an area where she can coral the board. However, her game on the offensive end can stretch the floor out of the three-point line. She's been outstanding for a team positioning themselves for a postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='767276' first='Elli' last='O'Keefe']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Big Rivers has produced some high-level talent over the past few seasons, and O'Keefe gets lost in the shuffle a bit. The Eau Claire North guard has an excellent feel for the game and reads defenses well in real-time. She understands what she can and can't do, which most kids don't about themselves. O'Keefe's not afraid to shoot when defenders go under screens, and I'd have to imagine she has her fair of confidence when she gets to shoot it from the perimeter. She's been one of my favorite players to keep up with this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='509706' first='Lanasia' last='Dubois']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There aren't many kids with as much burst as [player_tooltip player_id='509706' first='Lanasia' last='Dubois']. The way she moves is fluid, and she's one of the better athletes you'll find in Wisconsin at her size. Her Beloit Memorial group has been young and played a very upperclassmen-oriented Big Eight schedule for the past two seasons. Now they're in a conference where they're one of the more talented groups. Dubois and her teammates could be a team that takes a turn for the better in the next year and a half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='509007' first='Anna' last='Fronk']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fronk's smart guard who can shoot the ball at a high level, runs well in transition, makes good reads, and makes plays on the ball defensively. She's a stat-sheet stuffer at the D4 level. She's been an extremely productive player since she stepped foot on the floor for Bangor as a freshman and has continued to improve each of the last two seasons. She's not a physically imposing kid but makes defenses lives miserable in multiple ways. Fronk is a player coaches don't want to take off the floor.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
