Bischoff is athletic, has good speed, and plays on both ends of the floor. Bischoff rebounds well from the guard position and can initiate the fast-break off of the rebound. She took one rebound coast to coast and finished with an assist to an open teammate. Other impactful plays included attacking the rim for a layup, shooting a three from the corner, anchoring the top of the defense, and communicating with teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["738971"],"_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-6701c6b36b091"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='738971' first='Gabi' last='Iturralde'] continued her good play at the Providence Fall League. Ituurralde's defense took center stage, holding down the back end of the defense like a Free Safety. Time after time, Iturralde got back in defensive transition, intercepted the pass, and threw a halfcourt dime to a cutting her teammate for a layup. Offensively, she got to the rim, connected on several threes, and made some nice passes to shooters and cutters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["400785"],"_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-6701df0b39c31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='400785' first='Audrey' last='Beyer'] had eliteness written all over her and was undoubtedly the "Goat" in the room. Beyer shot the three well with great accuracy and great distance. Beyer's connected on at least 4 threes, and also got to the rim and made layups. Beyer's length is a problem for smaller guards and allows her to score on the inside over the bigs. She also handles the ball well enough to create plays for her teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1043236"],"_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-6701e34ee10c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1043236' first='Abilgail' last='Robinson'] has arrived, and this year, she has stepped out of the shadow of her sisters (Cami and Maci Robinson). Robinson has a great ball IQ and shows a great understanding of the game. She seems to always make the correct play. On Saturday, she was impactful in a lot of areas on the court. Robinson shot the ball well from the perimeter and also had some nice drives. She has the ability to finish at the basket with very good body control. &nbsp; Robinson played well on the defensive side of the ball. She plays an in-your-face style of defense and communicates well with her teammates. Robinson is the leader on the floor, and most of her leadership comes by example.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1043849,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tiannah Stone","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tocoi Creek","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6701f93c8501f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tiannah Stone is going to be a great addition to the Tocoi Creek, Stone brings more athleticism to the guard position. Stone shot the ball well from the outside and can get to the rim with a nice crossover move and good handles. Stone will make it tough on opponents to press with the addition of another good ball handler. The guard will also add some maturity to a talented, but young team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900338"],"_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-6701fbd108074"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='900338' first='Bailey' last='Harris']&nbsp;was the most exciting player I saw play on Saturday during Fall League Play. Harris was rather impressive and showed a love of versatility and skill on the floor. She shot the three very well, especially in key moments, including a dagger late in the 4th quarter with the game on the line. Harris has a smooth shooting motion and shoots with a very soft touch. It looks like a "money" every time. She also connected on some midrange shots and had a sweet euro in the paint. The lengthy guard can also got to the rim and scored on layups. Harris was equally impactful on the defensive end. She played with a lot of physicality and applied great pressure on- the ball. Harris also deflected several passes with her quick feet and active hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
