<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Team 10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='525676' first='Taziah' last='Hawkins'] - Ethan, SD - 5'6" G - Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Taziah stood out as one of the most consistent shooters during the 3v3 session. I watched her drain several threes just in this one game alone, and saw her continue that throughout the day. I loved her balance as she read the closeouts well and had some great takes to the basket as well when defenders honored her outside shooting game. She has a nice shotfake which she used effectively in these moments as well. On defense she plays hard, putting pressure on her opponent and anticipating passes for steals. Rounding out her game was the ability to rebound from the perimeter at a high level as well. This was her best overall performance I have seen to date when scouting this young lady. Big-time performer!</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='894053' first='Logan' last='Durnil'] - Harrisburg, SD - 5'7" G/F - Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Logan was impressive early and often at the combine as a scorer and an all-around really solid basketball player. I watched her make a step-back three that was one of the most impressive shots of the day and witnessed several high level finishing moves in the paint. Her IQ is already really high as she showed the ability to decide when to score or find her teammates for a better look. Her energy was really high throughout the event and she looks to have a very high ceiling as she continues her basketball career.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='929574' first='Hayden' last='Weber'] - Sioux Falls O'Gorman, SD - 5'8" G - Class of 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hayden operates really well in a motion offense with her length, high basketball IQ, and consistent decision-making. She showed off advanced handles and made great passes one after another to her teammates during this session. I really liked the balance of scoring and dishing from this young lady. She was confident shooting from beyond the arc and knocked down shots when she had opportunities. Her length and agility makes her a great on ball defender as she contributed on that end as well.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Team 12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> [player_tooltip player_id='525670' first='Blake' last='Thompson'] - Mobridge-Pollack, SD - 5'7" G - Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Blake is an absolute clutch scorer who took control on many offensive possessions during this session as automatic points for her team. She was one of the best shooters at the combine and has a really quick release which allows her to get her shot off in a hurry even with defenders nearby. Her footwork to score at the basket is really impressive and she showed one of the most polished offensive games at the event.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1047686' first='Paityn' last='Knoke'] - Fargo North, ND - 5'8" F - Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Paityn is a high energy athlete who contributed on both ends. She took shots when she got the opportunity and looked to be a player that came to develop her game and take the opportunity to improve. Very impressive body control, ability to finish at the rim, and a quick first step to the basket made for an impressive offensive game. She made the most of her opportunities and played with high energy during the event. I had her noted as one of the hardest-working athletes I watched during this session.<br><div class="block-core/paragraph" style="--tw-translate-x: 0;--tw-translate-y: 0;--tw-rotate: 0;--tw-skew-x: 0;--tw-skew-y: 0;--tw-scale-x: 1;--tw-scale-y: 1;--tw-pan-x:;--tw-pan-y:;--tw-pinch-zoom:;--tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity;--tw-ordinal:;--tw-slashed-zero:;--tw-numeric-figure:;--tw-numeric-spacing:;--tw-numeric-fraction:;--tw-ring-inset:;--tw-ring-offset-width: 0px;--tw-ring-offset-color: #fff;--tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000;--tw-blur:;--tw-brightness:;--tw-contrast:;--tw-grayscale:;--tw-hue-rotate:;--tw-invert:;--tw-saturate:;--tw-sepia:;--tw-drop-shadow:;--tw-backdrop-blur:;--tw-backdrop-brightness:;--tw-backdrop-contrast:;--tw-backdrop-grayscale:;--tw-backdrop-hue-rotate:;--tw-backdrop-invert:;--tw-backdrop-opacity:;--tw-backdrop-saturate:;--tw-backdrop-sepia:;font-size: 16px"><p style="--tw-translate-x: 0;--tw-translate-y: 0;--tw-rotate: 0;--tw-skew-x: 0;--tw-skew-y: 0;--tw-scale-x: 1;--tw-scale-y: 1;--tw-pan-x:;--tw-pan-y:;--tw-pinch-zoom:;--tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity;--tw-ordinal:;--tw-slashed-zero:;--tw-numeric-figure:;--tw-numeric-spacing:;--tw-numeric-fraction:;--tw-ring-inset:;--tw-ring-offset-width: 0px;--tw-ring-offset-color: #fff;--tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000;--tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000;--tw-blur:;--tw-brightness:;--tw-contrast:;--tw-grayscale:;--tw-hue-rotate:;--tw-invert:;--tw-saturate:;--tw-sepia:;--tw-drop-shadow:;--tw-backdrop-blur:;--tw-backdrop-brightness:;--tw-backdrop-contrast:;--tw-backdrop-grayscale:;--tw-backdrop-hue-rotate:;--tw-backdrop-invert:;--tw-backdrop-opacity:;--tw-backdrop-saturate:;--tw-backdrop-sepia:;margin: 1.25em 0px;font-size: 16px;line-height: 1.6"></p></div></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1000498' first='Suri' last='Gourd']- Four Winds, ND - 5'8" - G - Class of 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Suri showed off her skillset in a variety of ways during this game! She had some really aggressive takes to the basket during this game and showed off a really pure ability to finish in traffic. Her jump shot is really fundamentally sound and she was very consistent from the mid-range and from beyond the arc. She moves well without the ball and makes everyone else around her with her knack for drawing defenders with her scoring ability. On defense she did an excellent job containing the ball and contested every shot her opponent took.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
