She is a Point Guard that has speed, a crafty handle, and great knowledge of the game. She is someone that can facilitate off of the catch or dribble when she is coming down the floor, while always being someone that can step up and make the correct play when her team needs it during crunch time. She has also demonstrated that one of her better abilities is controlling the pace of a game. She can speed things up, pushing the ball down the floor or she can slow things down and run half-court sets. As long as she locks in defensively over these next few seasons, she is going to be someone that will have a chance to compete at the collegiate level in one way or another before her basketball journey comes to an end.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["502533"],"_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":"I recently did an evaluation about Stofhoff from her competition on the PGH a few weeks ago but she is going to come into this event as a prospect with one of the highest ceilings. Honestly, she keeps it simple and just takes what the defense gives her. If they don't give her much, she is very good at creating in her own ways or passing the ball and repositioning herself within her team's offense. She is going to be someone that is playing up a grade level but I still think she will be one of the best in the gym throughout the weekend. If a few weeks ago and last season was any indication of what she can do, she is going to thrive in the long run. She already has some D2 interest to compete at the next level but I think that is going to grow. If she stays consistent, her phone should be ringing off the hook with potential recruiters these next few months.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["896886"],"_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":"When I saw [player_tooltip player_id='896886' first='Jayla' last='Cleveland'] participate in this event last year, she stood out as one of the best players out of her Class and I expect the same this time around. Since then she has received a college offer or two, while receiving a good amount of interest from the next level as well. Cleveland is someone that has a solid demeanor next to the hoop with her back to the basket. She is very good at cleaning up messes on the boards on both sides of the floor and she is efficient when going back up with the basketball. If she can continue to show this type of production moving forward, there are going to be a few coaches that take a chance on her. Like I said, she already has an offer or two in her pocket so I'm sure other coaches are looking into her play-style and seeing what she can do on both the AAU floor and Varsity high school floor during the Winter.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["655088"],"_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='898775' first='Ayana' last='Owens'] is a prospect that plays with a chip on her shoulder. She is skilled in several different aspects of the game at the Guard position and she isn't afraid to stand up to anyone that might get in her way of being successful. Sometimes your team needs that player. Someone with an enforcer type attitude, that will stand on business and that's what Owens brings to the table. Not to mention, she is pretty skilled in her own right. She makes solid plays, her effort is always there, and she has some raw ability to mix in with all of that. She can create off the dribble, score through contact, or pull up for a nice jump shot when given a moment. She is competing with a well-known program out of Nebraska and they are sure to put on a show. If she plays to her full ability, she will be one of the best in the gym this weekend at the 17U level without a doubt.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["896236"],"_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='896236' first='T'Niyah' last='Wilson'] is one of the highest rated prospects out of her 2027 Class in Nebraska up until this point. Wilson has fantastic size at 6'0, she moves well with or without the ball, she can produce on both sides of the floor with her athletic ability, and she is especially skilled at scoring offensively. I saw Wilson compete last season at this event at the 17U level as an 8th grader and she PUT ON. She was starting games with pull up three's from the volleyball line and it was all downhill from there. Following this season, she used that same skill as she got into the high school ranks this past Winter at the Varsity level, averaging one of the highest PPG in the state for that level and especially that Class. Wilson's ceiling is high. College level high. All she needs to do is show everyone that she doesn't take plays off on either side of the floor and she will have every college coach in attendance this weekend asking what her deal is. Some players just have u0022itu0022 and Wilson is one of those type's of players from everything I've seen so far.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ae1a6dbdce"} /-->
