<p>For the second time this Spring, an NCAA "live" period is upon us. As has been the case the last few years, Louisville is one spot a number of top Midwestern programs travel to for recruiting visibility. With the PGA Tour also in town, Derby City is crowded with sports fans this weekend. 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>

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.

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.

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.
