Friday Night Insights (Blizzard Weekend Edition) – Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As games all around the state have been canceled or postponed due to The Blizzard of '93s Baby Brother, a few teams picked the action back up on Saturday. While researching some teams playing today I ran across a few players that are worth mentioning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["290713"],"_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":"Turner, the formerly unsigned '24, has decided to commit Bethel.  The smooth Briarcrest Christian guard is an impactful two way player that is a really instinctive scorer. As PG, she has big time quickness that can break down a defense, and then is really fundamentally sound once she gets into the paint.  Knows the readsu002du002dlay, float, pull, dump, kick.  Is a big time three point shooter than can get hot in a hurry.  Difference maker as a defender.  Bethel got a good one in Turner!  Congrats!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["290718"],"_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":"The '24 6'1 wing from Collierville has been one of the most prolific scorers, and best players, in the school's history.  The still unsigned senior has been playing incredible basketball of late, averaging 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks in two Christmas tourney's.  She's a looooong shooter, that battles on the glass, and isn't scared to bang in the paint.  I really like her upside as a college player.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["410170"],"_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":"Wade continues to be a pleasant suprise for the up and coming (now in 2nd place) South Doyle team.  Wade has always been gifted with natural length and fluid athleticism.  This season, she's truly putting it all together.  She's also been a game changer both on the glass and protecting the rim, but her tough around the basket has improved remarkably and she's really turning into a two-way impactful player.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Aubrie

is a college level player.  She's smooth scorer, and has been both consistent and efficent this season.  She's been averaging fifteen points and over two made threes a game this season.  She guards her yard, and she is a high volume three point shooter.  She will only continue to improve in the mid area.  I really like her upside.rnrnHer and [player_tooltip player_id='410168' first='Delaney' last='Weddington'] make a tough 1-2 punch.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["245389"],"_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":"Rice is another unsigned '24 that's had a really nice season for Hendersonville.  She's a top notch floor general with both the on quart awareness and vocal leadership to guide her troops.  She sees the floor extremely well, and knows instinctually what's about to happen .5 seconds before the defense does.  She just picked up a big-time offer from Simmons College of Kentucky.  Congrats kid!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["509179"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Melton is another unsigned '24 from Tullahoma HS.  The smoother shooting guard picked up an offer from Suwannee.  She's been a consistent three point threat hear entire high school career, and that won't chance as she heads into college.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["409015"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"What a ride for this kid!  Krumwiede has One of my favorite players to watch and follow as her meteoric rise has been incredible.  Talk about a kid who had the perfect intangibles, mixed with an elite work ethic, and you end up with a high-end D1 talent.  And on top of that, to be the the type of student-athlete that can both want, and be accepted, to Harvard is phenomenal.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["409035"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"The 6'2 Coffeee County post has had a great season for one of the top teams in the state.  Already well known as being of the best '25 post players in the state, she was already sitting on offers from MTSU, UTC, Samford, etc.  Just picked up another big one from inside the state, as Gannon was offered to ETSU.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["409633"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Really happy for this kid.  I just watch her and think she is fantastic!  In 2 quarters of action in a district game right before The Blizzard hit, she finished with 23 points, three 3s, 9 rebounds and 4 steals.  In 16 minutes of action.  When she gets hot...she a D1 level scorer (as proven in last year's state tourney).rnrnReally happy to watch Bystry pickup an offer from USC Upstate!  Congrats
