2027 New Faces- NE Ohio Newcomers

Keeper is simply a lights out shooter from anywhere especially from behind the three-point line. Her mid-range jumper is very smooth and she uses a hesitation dribble to get her defender off balance. Her quickness, sharpness of response, and unwavering decision-making makes her hard to contain. I like the defensive pressure she applies to the ball and how she gets into the passing lanes to get steals.     Pagan's eyes are constantly focused on the ball and her defender, always locating the next pass made and she enjoys being active and pestering her opponent, which frequently leads to quick break points on the other end of the floor! Shooting from downtown is not an issue for her at all, matter of fact shooting the ball in general is not an issue for her! Demonstrates a strong connection with the ball and her teammates, she never is selfish with or without the ball. On or off the court she's a great team leader.     Wow her lightening quick hands and footwork really put a damper on the opposing team, she is constantly in your face ready to lock you down on the defensive end. This kid can locate the next pass, get deflections, has good strong help side defense, and takes off down the floor on fast breaks. When they are pressing the other team she does a fine job at being where she needs to be to get that steal. Scores coast to coast with great body control and fights for a bucket through multiple of defenders, very strong and eager to get even better.     She's a blocking machine! This girls length is very impressive which allows her to control anything that comes inside the paint, she even pops out for great looking shots as well. Always giving her full effort and her team great intensity. She sees the next incoming pass and does a great job at deflecting a lot of them with her long arms. Scores around the rim and seals her defender to get the ball. If you want to score a quick bucket inside just give this girl the ball on the block!     I adore her drive and determination to chase down loose balls, which leads to quick break points on the other end of the court. She plays strong defense and brings creativity to the squad by coming up with special skills to get points. A nice feed to her teammates as they cut through the paint, she uses hard set screens to come off of them to score. Sees the next smart pass and cuts. High IQ for the game and I see her improving her game throughout the future of her career.      When she is in the paint or putting work in on the low block she never disappoints. Her long length and wing span allow her to get a lot of deflections and blocks. She uses her strong body to body up her defenders to score over them, she boxes out and is always putting a body on someone. Rebounds the ball and gets a lot of second chance buckets, she also takes it outside the paint and can shoot the mid-range jump shot. She moves with and without the ball and has very active hands.     She's a multi-sport athlete with high skill sets for all the sports she plays. She can handle the rock and has the speed to score coast to coast. When she's driving to the rim she goes in hard with her head down ready to score, strong with the ball and protects it at all costs. She's always ready to shoot with her body set, hits the deep three-point shots and has a nice shot fake. Releases quickly down the floor and has excellent court vision. When she is double teamed she doesn't lose her composure.     For her size she can play from anywhere on the floor, you think she would be strictly a post player which she does get the job done in the paint but she also brings her game to the outside. She can knock down three-pointers and mid-range shots along with taking you to the bucket and using her strong body to power through the play, which results in points or her getting sent to the line. I like how surprised I was with her outside game, this girl can shoot! Boxes out, crashes the glass when a shot goes up and has great body composure.
