Johnston’s Winter Tip-Off Classic 2024: Some Quick Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had a chance to watch the Johnston Winter Tip-Off Classic last week. While watching, I took some quick notes on prospects that stood out.

All important factors when looking at someone, who might be able to continue to produce throughout the rest of this Winter."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557120"],"_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-6771e4a507aa2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"I believe that if Olson was on almost any other Varsity roster, she would be a main producer in several different statistical categories.
