McLucas is a 6'0 Combo Guard/Small Forward, depending on what her team asks of her. This season she moved around and dominated any position that was given to her. When you account for her skill set of a Guard and her natural length, you start to realize how impressive she could really become on the hardwood. She is someone that understands that she may have to adapt in any given moment but if she can do that properly, she knows that she is going to find a lot of success. The best part about McLucus to myself is that she can beat you in so many ways, all while being a game-changer on the defensive side of the ball. She moves effortlessly down the floor, almost like she is floating whenever she is taking steps and that's something that stands out to anyone observing. I'm excited to see what McLucas can do on the AAU floor this Spring. She will be suiting up with ETG Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB, a top AAU program throughout the state. If she can find her niche and she continues to work hard, I would be shocked if she didn't have collegiate recruiters reaching out over these next few months. She is the real deal and only going to get better with the most experience she has.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["359849"],"_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":"Another prospect for Millard North, that I'm excited to see more of this upcoming Winter is Shooting Guard, [player_tooltip player_id='359849' first='Brylee' last='Nelsen']. Nelsen is a multi-sport athlete, that is versatile in what she can do the floor. She is someone that isn't going to hurt you too much throughout a contest, while being able to bring some positives each and every night. Nelsen is athletic, smart, and dedicated. When she is in the season, she is mentally ready to go in any given situation. I would say that her best ability is her athletic ability and her ability to make herself available to her teammates. She understands her spacing pretty well and isn't afraid to mix it up with bigger players if need be. I didn't see a ton of Nelsen this previous winter but hopefully that switches up over the next few months. She does too many good things on the floor. From what I've seen, Volleyball may be her main sport but that doesn't change the fact that she could bring some positives to the basketball court every once and awhile as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["336029"],"_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":"Noelle Tcheuhchoua demonstrated this Winter that she is a pivotal piece to her teams success. She is a prospect with great size, athleticism, and knowledge of the game. Last season she came into every contest and gave it her all, leaving it all on the floor. Tcheuhchoua is someone that can impact a game offensively on any given night but her best ability comes on the defensive side of things. She is the type of competitor that can stick with a really fast PG or she can switch and handle the job of guarding a Post player inside the middle of the lane. She stays disciplined and doesn't jump on pump fakes, all while being someone who gets A TON of tips and deflections near the rim. If she doesn't get a tip, that's okay as her outstretched arms are usually enough to alter an opponents shot on a consistent basis. The skill that Tcheuhchoua has is raw. If she continues to be put in positions to be successful by her teammates, while expanding her game in the off-season, there is no reason that collegiate recruiters wouldn't be reaching out in the off-season. She is physically gifted and intelligent. Anyone at the next level can work with that over time.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["316647"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='316647' first='Sammie' last='Allen'] comes into this Rankings Update as one of the most sound Shooting Guards within the 2025 Class in Nebraska. Allen has a smart head on her shoulders, a nice shooting ability from any angle on the floor, and some confidence in her game. More times than not, Allen is making moves first and asking questions later. She is always one of the first players down the floor in transition, looking to spot up in an open area. If not, she does a great job of getting out of the way and letting the play unfold in front of herself. Defensively, she is just as good. She isn't a liability and she understands her assignments. As a coach, you can't ask for much more than that. She isn't going to hurt you on either side of the ball, while usually being a positive more times than not. Going into this AAU season, I'm hoping Allen can put together another impressive campaign. If she can do that and she comes into next winter with a chip on her shoulder, the sky could be the limit for herself at the end of the day but we will just have to wait and see.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["427919"],"_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='427919' first='Paige' last='Myers'] and her [program_tooltip program_id='712709' first='Nebraska' last='Attack'] UAA program won nationals last year in convincing fashion and they are hoping do to the same over the next 6 months. Myers is a Shooting Guard, that can do plethora of good things for her teammates on the floor. She is a high-end shot maker, while being smart enough to know when she should let it go, compared to rotating the ball for a better look. Defensively, she is someone that displays quick hands and an act for getting tips/defections. More times than not, she is sprinting to close out with short, choppy steps. If she gets beat, she is fantastic at recovering toward the ball or help side, depending on what is needed of her. I didn't get a chance to see Myers and her [program_tooltip program_id='712709' first='Nebraska' last='Attack'] team compete last season but hopefully that will change. This program is one that has some HIGH-END recruits so it wouldn't surprise me if this group makes another big run at another national championship over the next 6 months. They certainly have the personal to do it, they just need to continue to get everyone to buy in and they will be sitting pretty moving forward.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f9b29d07038"} /-->
