<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm closing out the EXPO with 8 talented players and let me say this, across the board, everyone in attendance simply brought "IT" so here ya go </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885871"],"_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-66fc307524109"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buffin changed her hairstyle and had me off balance trying to figure out who she was yet I recovered by looking at the roster and smiling as she made the <strong>All-Showcase </strong>team<em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/the-expo-all-showcase-team-pghexpotx/"> <strong>see evaluation here</strong></a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039212"],"_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-66fc307524170"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Willis is an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends of the court. She attacked the basket strongly and finished during the "3 on 3" and in the "5 on 5" she continued doing it adding solid body control after contact. She set the floor in the set as well as in the open court and her "on the ball" defense baseline to baseline was also solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039195"],"_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-66fc38b060cda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gaines gave me a little bit of everything in both the "3 on 3" and "5 on 5". She's a long and athletic guard who applied heat "on the ball" yet she also did what I love and that's playing the passing lane. She rebounded and went coast to coast, showing a nice "change of pace" in transition but her pull-up jumper was effective, as was her scoring or dishing off the dribble. Court vision across the board was also solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039192"],"_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-66fc38b060d62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner has the right last name as she continued to turn corners every time I catch her playing. She's another r"long and athletic" guard and plays taller than her listed height because she refuses to be outworked and watching her battle for rebounds always has me smiling. She scored off the dribble and around the basket but showed the jumper as well. Her defense was solid and she played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911720"],"_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-66fc38b060dd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farrell gave me, here are my exact words, "a glimpse of what was coming" as she made my<strong> Shooters Galore Tip Sheet</strong>, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/shooters-galore-start-up-3-on-3-pghexpotx/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong>. Yeah, she continued to drop shots with a hand in her face from outside but her "catch and shoot" as well as "stop and pop" had her in the zone towards the end of the event. Her court vision was also huge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["862989"],"_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-66fc38b060e3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riggs was a walk-in and just observing her before the event even started during the warmups had me antsy to see her on the court. Here's the deal, she's long and athletic, which will always be the base and she's a couple of inches shy of the magic number. She moves fluidly around the basket to score, let me add that she's strong and contact was irrelevant. She also went coast to coast to score a few times and showed she could attack off the dribble in the set. Her pull-up jumper was nice, as was her defense, in and outside the paint </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880842"],"_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-66fc38b060ea6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haq grabbed my attention over the club season when I just happened to have an event fall into my lap <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/top-performers-8th-grade-division-atxsummerhavoc-2/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong> and watching her give me an encore performance was nice as she understands the simple things that turn out to be big, like using her frame inside the paint on both ends to score or rebound, Her putbacks after contact was nice, she scored off the dribble and even faced the basket and dropped it but I also like her interior defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["664394"],"_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-66fc38b060f10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rogers is closing the event out for me and rightfully so because not only do I just take mental notes, but I know she just finds ways to be relevant, aka THE GLUE. Her mid to long-range was clicking and she was one of the Top 10 in attendance yet nothing she did surprised me after watching her football videos which ties in to her mental toughness and outrebounding taller players. Her strong finishes after contact, sometimes off balance were nice. She also saw the floor off the dribble, in the set as well as in transition yet her defense needs to be mentioned because it helped create turnovers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
