AAU Team Preview: All Iowa Attack 17U EYBL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's that time of the year again. It's AAU Season! This time of the year is always an interesting and excited one. It's the time where we see new faces in new places, new groups joining together, and a whole lot of action as it pertains to high-level basketball throughout the country.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article we highlight a program that on paper is the best in the country on the EYBL circuit. They may only have eight prospects on this roster but five of them are rated in the Top 25 on ESPNW in their perspective Class from all over the country. If they play to their full ability and work for one another, they are going to be the favorites to win TOC - Nike Nationals come this July in Chicago. They are coming off of a year where they came in second at Nationals last season but this year is completely different. With the pieces and weapons they have, no one should come close to them in the long run if they do things right and take care of business.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Schedule - </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>May 10-12:</strong> Cyfair Invitational - Frisco, Texas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>May 17-19:</strong> Battle Of The Best - Ames, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>June 14-16:</strong> Midwest Girls Classic - Ames, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>June 21-23:</strong> North Tartan Summer Jam - Minneapolis, Minnesota </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>June 28-30:</strong> Battle in the Boro - Nashville, Tennessee </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>July 12-15:</strong> Run 4 Roses - Louisville, Kentucky </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>July 19-22:</strong> TOC Nike Nationals - Chicago, Illinois</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>July 26-29:</strong> US Club Open Championship - Rock Hill, South Carolina </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["311396"],"_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":"Zediker is your ideal Point Guard and coach on the floor when she has the ball in her hands. She understands what her team is trying to accomplish and she is very good at yielding results no matter the situation that is occurring in any moment. She has the elite ability to create and facilitate for the others around her at a high rate, while being a fantastic handler of the basketball. Once she passes, she is very good at moving off of the ball and she is also a knock down shooter when it gets rotated back to her. This is the best PG that the state of Iowa has to offer. She has been the leader of this 17U EYBL group for years now and she is only getting better with the elite stage that this program is providing for her on a national level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["557354"],"_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":"This is a prospect out of the 2026 Class but you'd never know it if I didn't mention here. Lewis is the #23 rated player in the Country in the 2026 Class according to ESPNW, while also being the #1 rated prospect out of the state of Iowa in her Class. Lewis's skill level is second-to-none. She can handle, score, and compete at a high rate every time she takes the floor. When you pair her along with other big time play-makers, she is even better. She is someone that you can't help off of from help-side and she makes things happen once the ball is rotated to her. She just helped lead her Johnston Dragons High School team to an undefeated high school season and a 5A State Title. She has around 35+ high-end Power-5 offers and that's only going to continue to grow until she makes a choice as to where she is going to go for her collegiate career.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["311377"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='311377' first='Mya' last='Crawford'] is another impressive guard that is on this roster. Crawford is a Drake Women's basketball commit and she is someone that comes off the bench for this group in relief.. She isn't going to be the one to score 30 points against the top rated defenses in the country but she is someone that can create off the dribble and distribute to those that are open around her. During the high school year she really holds her own and shows that she is one of the best 2025's in the state of Iowa. As long as she keeps that confidence and she keeps doing her thing, she is going to be someone that we highlight for the next year or so prior to her being a Bulldog. She is going to be one of those players at the college level that everyone calls a hometown hero and I'm here for it. She has a solid attitude and she competes with a chip on her shoulder every time she takes the floor so I can't wait to see how that translates moving forward.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["433933"],"_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":"Chloe Johnson comes to us from the state of Minnesota and she is an 8th grader playing on the 17U EYBL Circuit. If you know anything about Johnson, you know that she is years above her age in skill-level on the court. She has been with this program for almost a full year now and she has had some pretty impressive performances. She is another guard that can make a lot happen when she is in full control. In this program and on this team specifically, she needs to understand it's all about timing. She is going to need to be patient if she wants to be the star of this group overtime and she is willing to do that. As long as she continues to work on her game and expand what she is good at, she is going to thrive over her next four years of high school ball.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["317337"],"_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='317337' first='Addison' last='Bjorn'] has joined up with this powerhouse of a program coming out of the state of Missouri. Bjorn is the #10 rated prospect out of the 2026 Class in the nation according to ESPNW and I can see why. Bjorn has size at 6'1, great length to pair along with that height, and a whole lot of skill. She is a Wing that can shoot it from anywhere on the floor and she is a willing passer when the defense decides to overplay her on the drive or the shot. This group is so deadly because they have so much offensive talent, if you leave just one player open like Bjorn, she could end with 40 points before you know it. This is going to be one of the better prospects on this team in my opinion and she is going to have her games this Spring/Summer. If she stays lock in, the Power-5 offers will continue to flow in and she will continue to shine.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["252387"],"_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":"Another big time pickup for this program and team coming from the state of Minnesota is Aaliyah Crump of the 2025 Class. Crump is the #5 ranked prospect in her Class in the country at 6'1 and she is impressive in anything she does. Offensively, she can shoot it from 5 feet behind the three point line, she can go into the mid-post and hit turn around jumpers going over either shoulder, or she can dominate by the bucket with her reach. Defensively, she is lock down. She can stick with a smaller opponent at the perimeter or she can switch onto a bigger prospect that might want to sit in the post and dominate. On both sides of the ball, she is fantastic in almost everything she does and that will translate one day to the collegiate level, no matter where she ends up at the end of the day.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["302779"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='302779' first='Jordan' last='Speiser'] has been with this program for two years now and when I saw her compete at Nike Nationals last season, she was killing it in every aspect of the game. Speiser is the Forward or Post presence of this group but she is also skilled enough to step out and knock down jumpers from well-beyond the three point line. Speiser stands at around 6'1-6'2, she has muscle mass to pair along with her size, and she is physically dominant. She isn't afraid to screen and mix it up with bigger players or she can move around the perimeter and handle her own against some smaller guards on either side of the ball. Last year Speiser was a big u0022itu0022 factor for this group and that will be the same this Spring/Summer. When they play bigger opponents, she is going to have to step up and if she can do that, they are going to kill whoever they are matching up in that moment of time.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["311363"],"_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":"Capping off this group is another very talented prospect out of the state of Iowa in the 2025 Class and that is [player_tooltip player_id='311363' first='Libby' last='Fandel'] of Xavier High School. Fandel is someone that has great length at 6'0-6'1, she is shifty in her movements and she can shoot the leather off of the basketball. When I first had the chance to see Fandel as a Freshman in high school, she just seemingly made every shot that she took. She was scoring from all three levels offensively, every time she touched the ball. That skill-set has only grow over time and she is only getting better. Fandel isn't college committed yet but she has several offers that she has picked up so far and that list is only going to grow. She has a bunch of D1 programs interested and I think this Spring/Summer is going to help sky rocket her into having a bunch more before this AAU season comes to a close.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663b9505e97d7"} /-->
