2029 Watchlist part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I covered a middle school showcase and had a chance to see some new faces which I love to do because one more time, talent is everywhere. What was even better was that I saw a young lady going off, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='882049' first='Gracie' last=''] Gille</strong>, who will be on this list in the future, talking to her mom. I spoke to her mom briefly and told her that her daughter was a #THROWBACK player and her mom told me she also played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When she told me her name, <strong>Hollie Beamon</strong> before Grille, it took me back to the DEEPEST class from Houston which was 2005 where over 100 players went on to to play at the next level, 40 plus went D1 and mom was a <strong>STAR</strong> for <strong>Kingwood,</strong> one of the teams you had to go through to get to the state <strong>Final 4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I decided to get a jump on my list, and several of these players receiving next-level interest, some with D1 offers on the table but mark my word, this class will be deep so let me split it up quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946960"],"_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-67200c6decd0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byers-Veal was one of the youngest participants at my <strong>All-Eyez On Me Individual Showcase</strong> in 2020, so what, a 4th grader <strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/2020-all-eyez-on-me-2025-2028/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong>, and although I didn't drop the #D1Lock on her, I said her upside was scary.
