Lasting First Impressions Day 2 #HeartOfTexas

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sometimes players do things right off the top when I initially see them, usually, it's flashiness in the scope of team play or just showing they can shoot the lights out from deep, or even just an abundance of energy that can change the momentum of games but there are also other things and here are few, several from Nebraska, that caught my eye in Mansfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["888175"],"_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":"Craig is a player that I hadn't seen before or maybe I did and there was no roster but nevertheless, she was seen by u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/1st-weekend-in-april-aau-recap/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e@PlayerRimidiesu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e a few weeks ago so I'm glad I had a chance to get my eyes on her. Well that's an understatement because her energy alone, on both ends was refreshing, especially after driving 45 minutes in rain yet her u0022on the ballu0022 pressure was smothering throughout the game, she played the passing lane, was vocal on the court and scored off the dribble","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["896294"],"_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":"Lovett was hard to miss because she was u0022long and athleticu0022 and couldn't miss from outside off the top.

She also scored off the dribble, finished strongly after contact and watching her hit the boards and handle the ball afterward was nice, especially since she saw the floor in the open court","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["276522"],"_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":"Wilson was one of the most impressive guards I saw over the 3 day weekend and her handling the ball JUST DID IT for me. Yeah I love razzle-dazzle and being able to hypnotize the defender and when you add explosiveness off the dribble, awe man. Her she got to the rim however and whenever she wanted yet more importantly she set her teammates up for easy looks. Well, I guess it's also important that she scored while attacking and finished after contact, at times acrobatically. I'm still having flashes of her going full speed and going between her legs to leave the defender cemented","_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":"TNiyah Wilson","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='712924' first='Team' last='Factory']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Wilson is Jayla's younger sister and her poise under pressure was very nice as she dropped shots with a hand in her face from NBA range.

It's simple, yet I just don't see enough of it but she's an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends. She scored off the dribble, she also dished while attacking but her seeing the floor stood out from all over.
