<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Continuing coverage of the 17U Divison from Solid Rock, with a look at prospects who mixed production with the potential to continue rising longterm. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802033"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":901964,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the best pure athletes in attendance, Adams mixes quickness with a light on feet her quality that allows her to quickly elevate. Those moments where she elevates most often occurred with her grabbing rebounds or perhaps more impressively quickly and smoothly pulling up for jumpers and finishing at the rim. Along with the promise to be a multi-level scorer on the offensive end, she's an u0022everywhereu0022 defender. From denying post entry passes, being in the passing lanes, hustling in transition, her athleticism was complimented with a great motor.  Based on how Adams' spring is progressing, she's one of the more undervalued prospects in Oklahoma's 2025 class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["485534"],"_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":"A high ceiling prospect, Effit has excelled as a shot blocker and rim runner. She showed great timing with her long arms swatting everything on Sunday morning. She also kept many of swatted shots alive, allowing herself to grab the loose ball and fully end the offensive threat. On offense, her touch was soft around the rim. But her footwork remains very raw on post ups, being called for a travel each game. Continuing to work on her footwork and becoming smoother laterally are a key next step for the 2025 center. Still with her combination of height, wingspan and rim protection abilities, Effit has a very promising future.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["456514"],"_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":"In a Sunday viewing, Dewey was effective as a forward while showing the athletic profile to also being a wing at the next level.  If teams fronted her, she was athletic in securing the post entry pass, then smoothly scoring.  If they sagged off, she showed the ability to face up and attack them off the dribble. With her quickness and solid handle allowing her to navigate through the defense. Add in good rebounding and there's a lot to like about the promising wing-forward prospect.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["648196"],"_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":"With a mixture of post toughness and a savviness of knowing where to be to attack zone defense, Spratley was a handful in multiple viewings this weekend.  In one game, she seemed automatic in the 10-15 foot range.  Especially as she kept finding the soft pockets in the zone and getting clean looks at the rim.  To put it simple, Spratley knows how to play. This would also become apparent after she grabbed a defensive board, pushed it, pitched it ahead, kept running to the rim and was rewarded by her teammate passing it back to her for an easy score.  Listed as a center, her athletic profile and feel for the game hint that is the potential for her to continue evolving her game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["898933"],"_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":"Height, wingspan and hitting threes, that's usually a very appealing combination to college coaches.  Anytime the defense sagged off from three, even if a few steps back, it seemed like Rogers was going to let it fly. And it often went in.  On defense there were flashes of athletic promises with occasional steals and deflections.  If she can build off the moments of defensive success and turn the intensity level up, the 918 standout becomes a very intriguing u00223 and Du0022 prospect.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["627259"],"_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":"With a silky shooting form, Bell was a key part of a Storm team that left Oklahoma with a 4-0 record.  She's a dangerous spot up shooter from three and can hit in the mid-range as well.  While most of her damage was down from the perimeter, she did take one dribble handoff, hit the jets and find her way to the rim for a lefty finish.  Which was a nice hint for the two guard's full scoring package.  The goal of the game is to put the ball in the hole, and it looked like Bell excels at that concept.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["741921"],"_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":"A freshman, who athletically and height wise did not look out of place in the 17U Divison.  The game seems to come in flashes for her.  Knocking down a perimeter jumper, recording a quick hand block on a taller older player, etc.  New to the game, there's a rawness that can be seen. As at times it looks like she's still processing the action and reacting instead of attacking.  Some of that will come with experience. An example would come with being a more aggressive rebounder, a mindset that every rebound is her's.  With a good athletic profile, she has the chance to develop into a very interesting inside-outside threat.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66315c5565008"} /-->
