PGH Freshman Showcase: Danyle’s Top Post/Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 Michigan class is loaded and we were so excited to see so many of them compete at our Freshman Showcase on August 25th, 2024. Our unique format included 5 hours of games split up into predetermined 3v3, 5v5, and pool play to end the event. Every participant will receive a write-up in our articles, which is something unique and special about Prep Girls Hoops showcases. My coverage focused primarily on teams 1, 2, and 6. Let's take a look at the top post/forwards from those teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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-66cf3cc719003"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown excelled at an elite level and emerged as a top-post player at The Freshman Showcase. She showcased dominance on both ends of the floor in the paint, effectively fulfilling her role as a rim protector and displaying strong finishing skills around the rim. I am looking forward to watching Leelyn's performance over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["933010"],"_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-66cf3cc7190e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It will come as no surprise that Honeycutt was a top post player at The Freshman Showcase. She excels in the paint with good footwork around the rim, and a good decision maker on when to absorb contact or pass out to an open shooter. I don't think it will take long for college coaches to start taking notice of Jana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["980243"],"_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-66cf3cc71917b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talladay had herself a day at The Freshman Showcase and showed she will be a top post player in the class of 2028. She had the biggest blocks of the day and proved she will protect the rim at all costs. Talladay fearlessly handled offensive contact and consistently earned free-throw opportunities. I'm expecting a big freshman season for Myla!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["978473"],"_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-66cf3cc7191e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hough might be a little undersized compared to the rest of the top post/forward prospects at The Freshman Showcase, but that didn't stop her from standing out and earning the honor of being a top forward. Kendall boxed out strong and pulled down rebounds at a high rate. She was a rim protector with some blocks on the day. I'm looking forward to watching her game grow over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
