As has been the case the last few years, Louisville is one spot a number of top Midwestern programs travel to for recruiting visibility.

I was able to arrive in time to watch three hours worth of games Friday night, but I saw quite a few nice small college prospects who deserve the mention below.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["692232"],"_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":"This [program_tooltip program_id='712570' first='Indiana's' last='Best'] squad has been fun to watch this year, and Maddy is a big part of that. She plays so hard each time out, competes each possession, but she has also done a nice job over the last couple of years of transitioning from being a slashing athlete to becoming more of a point guard offensively. She has nice on-court awareness, she handles pressure, and she can defend both backcourt spots.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["295799"],"_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":"Kya was Lawrence North's starting point guard all Winter, and she has been great so far this Spring, picking up multiple Division-I offers. She is strong at her size, she has length, and she's athletic. She has speed and quickness, she can change directions, and she has shown the ability to score it at all three levels equally well. I feel like she is really just starting to scratch the surface of her potential, too.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["425632"],"_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":"Friday was my first time seeing Kanyonrae this Spring. She looks noticeably stronger from a year ago, but she also looks like she's playing with more poise and discipline. She has always had a playmaking element to her game, and she has transitioned from being more of a point forward, to now being a truer scoring guard who can also handle and create. She has elite small college potential.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["511387"],"_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":"Brooklyn is a great water-bug, quick, fast, bouncy, and always active. But what I have been more impressed with is her ability to stop u0026amp; start, change speeds while changing directions, and picking the right moments to be explosive, while also choosing when to be patient well. She can get into gaps and find open teammates, but she also hit four 3-pointers Friday night, keeping the defense honest.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1044775' first='Lyllee' last='Schnell']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Northeast Dubois","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"Swish City","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Lyllee is a solid Southern Indiana post player who could have a nice small college future ahead of her.

She's a high-academic kid as well.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["665452"],"_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":"Grace showcased a nice, athletic game on the wing last Summer and Fall, but now she looks even stronger and much more assertive. To be able to combine her skillful wing game with her strength and athleticism, Grace has a really nice future ahead of her.
