Legacy Classic: Impactful Prospects (16U-17U)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Being an impact player doesn't only mean that you can score the ball. It also means that you get back on defense, you can help others become better, and that you selfless in your actions on the hardwood. In this article we highlight five prospects from the Legacy Classic that were impact players in every contest they competed in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Pyper Hartigan ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Grain Valley ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Missouri Phenom ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Pyper Hartigan displays a smooth and fundamental game, while being able to impact a contest in several different ways. This past weekend Hartigan was leading her teams with the ball in her hands coming down the floor and she was making the right or smart play a majority of the time. She demonstrated that if she rotated the ball, she could receive it back on rotation and hit a shot from almost anywhere on the floor. She had a picture perfect shot form whenever she let it go and most of the time, it was good because of her form and mixture of balance/coordination. The team that Hartigan competes with has a handful of projects who will be able to compete at the collegiate level one day. If they stay dedicated to the game, they are going to go places.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["896914"],"_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":"Throughout the three days of this event, [player_tooltip player_id='896914' first='Addison' last='Sharpe'] showed off several times that she can be an impact player. She has the ability to handle and create off of the dribble, she can knock down deep shots at a high rate, and she defends like her life depends on it at times. There is a lot to like about Sharpe and her play-style. Whenever she is working off of the ball, she seems to move effortlessly down the floor and most importantly - she can produce without the ball in her hands. This shows potential recruiters that she can fit in several different types of systems, making her game versatile and giving her more opportunities to compete at the next level at the end of the day.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["897402"],"_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":"Someone that I didn't know much about before this weekend was [player_tooltip player_id='897402' first='Nolan' last='Gomes'] of [program_tooltip program_id='712709' first='Nebraska' last='Attack'] and Millard West High School. The reason I haven't seen her compete much is because during high school ball, her team has been stacked. They are coming off of a State Title, only suffering a loss to a team from Iowa, who happened to end their season as the #12 team in the Nation. Gomes over her few games at the Legacy Classic displayed great size at 6'1 and some promising skill. Whenever she caught the ball and shot it, the shot looks beautiful out of her release. When you pair that with her size, you start to understand the promise within her actual game. I'm hoping this Winter that Gomes gets more court time as they will lose a good amount of their producers due to graduation but right now she is just worried about the AAU season in front of her. Something we can all respect.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["656292"],"_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":"I briefly highlighted [player_tooltip player_id='656292' first='Zoe' last='Allen'] prior to this weekend and after the first day of this event but I think that her production needs to be spoken upon a little bit more. Allen is a prospect that stand at around 6'1 and she is slowly adding to her play-style. When I saw her compete last year, she was crashing the glass efficiently and finishing at the rim in a plethora of different ways. She did a little of this, this past weekend but she also showed that she can step out and hit a three from deep, spreading the floor against the defense. If she can continuously work on this and become efficient in her shooting ability, she is going to a PROBLEM for opponents moving forward. She does some positive things on both sides of the ball each play and this is only going to make her a tougher matchup to Guard. This weekend though, she did her thing and that was evident.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["617226"],"_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='617226' first='Quinn' last='Vice'] is a Division-1 prospect, committed to attend Drake University after her high school season comes to an end and I understand why. Vice stands at 6'3 and she basically has height on everyone she competes against. Not to mention, she is a versatile playmaker on both sides of the ball. Vice is the opposite of her sister Halle, who is currently competing at Marquette. Halle was an inside presence, that could step out and bang three's at an efficient rate. Quinn is the more-so the longer Forward, who loves to shoot three's and she is very good at that ability. After her defender starts to creep out, she can put the ball on the floor and get all the way to the rack for a bucket.  This ability was obvious not just this weekend but it was evident last Winter during the High School season as well. Vice is obviously an impressive talent out of the state of Iowa. My only comment to her would be to become a monster in the paint. She has such an advantage, sometimes it hurts me to watch her because she could score a double-double in points and rebounds next to the basket against ANYONE she faces. If she can become angrier and still possess that shooting ability, she is going to KILL IT at Drake. No doubt in my mind.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6633a78dad1e2"} /-->
