Michigan Freshman Showcase: Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Girls Hoops Freshman Showcase was an exciting camp that featured some of the top talent coming into Michigan as freshman this year.

I'm going to give you some samples of my notes from last weekend at the Freshman Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some of my additional Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Freshman Showcase coverage below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-shooters/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-shooters/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-defense/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-defense/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-want-them-with-the-ball/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/michigan-freshman-showcase-want-them-with-the-ball/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["980245"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d1ce6092b07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Creative reverse finish - control/focus on way up - not forced.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Can move and manipulate defenders with her handles - both hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["973282"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d1ce6092b61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- Precision passer - squeezed it through small space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["859826"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d1ce6092ba9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- Looking very comfortable on right side/going to right with dribble drive (effective).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Righty take for 2 - shrugs off defender</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Corner pull up 3 - no hesitation</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["937539"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d1ce6092bfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- Back to bucket on block = finish over left shoulder.
