May: Spring Standouts & Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot of good basketball is being played right now in May as Spring Leagues are popping up and more club games and live period on the horizon next weekend, here are some standout and notes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Notes</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='772236' first='Emilee' last='Skinner'] and Olivia Hamblin are just a cut above the rest in the class as they both have elite games. Hamlin has been racking up offers from all over the country. Skinner on the other hand has some of the Blue Bloods in women's hoops chasing her and she is trying to make the USA team. [player_tooltip player_id='800656' first='Claire' last='Fischer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='788225' first='Baylee' last='Lowder'] have been impressive. Keep an eye on [player_tooltip player_id='788191' first='Faythe' last='Stauffer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='788152' first='La'la' last='Baldwin']. They can absolutely hoop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class is starting to take shape as some of the top players are asserting themselves and some of the players in the middle are making moves. [player_tooltip player_id='789082' first='Olivia' last='Stephens'] is one of the best if not the best true PG in the class right now. [player_tooltip player_id='796804' first='Quincy' last='Kegel'] has a shot to rise with an excellent spring. [player_tooltip player_id='796851' first='Sela' last='Ama'] and [player_tooltip player_id='812058' first='Elyssia' last='Gallardo'] are two more players that could make some noise in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796472' first='Abigail' last='Christensen'] continues to add to her bag as a bigger wing that can play inside and out in this class. [player_tooltip player_id='827409' first='Bella' last='Ballin'] has a big time motor and could be a big time riser in the class. [player_tooltip player_id='884190' first='SaDee' last='Castagno'] is another player that could sneak up in the rankings. [player_tooltip player_id='827407' first='Ava' last='Tupou'] is a player that has the foundation and skill set to rise as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Standouts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["805787"],"_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":"Lombardi is a player you might see get more recognition as she is really using that height to her advantage.
