<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'll say it like this, the 2027 class is the truth. Within this class and can be found all up and down these rankings are gamebreakers who can will their team to a win. Understand I used the term gamebreakers rather than game changers due to the fact this class has young ladies up in it that can break a game open right from the start. This class has shooters, girls who can create of the dribble, girls who can lock up M2M, control the boards, get steals, and make timely assists. You better know your personnel at all times because this class has a lot of foundational pieces that are going to be around for the next couple of years that will definitely make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What I love about this class also is the fluctuation within it. They are going to compete. No matter the event, high school , travel ball, showcase event, you better believe there will be some competition amongst each other. Call it bragging rights. Label it wanting to stand out. My point is throughout the course of their journey, these rankings will be up and down all the time based on their skill of play and who's hot. Final note, this class will have some serious ball players that will play at the next level. If I had a magic 8 ball, I would guess this class would have the most girls playing at the collegiate level than any other class. That's just my opinion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some athletes who are rising up the rankings like a phoenix coming from a fire.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818131"],"_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-678671195d5d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of these hottest kids in the state. Yes she has shot up the rankings and rightfully so. For starters, this kid competes and does so with a smile on her face. A 3 level scoring guard who just gets it done from multiple spots on the floor. I love her court vision, her ability to foresee something happening before it actually does. In transition she is crazy good, either getting to the rim or delivering a pass in between a window that enables her teammate to score. She is long, so defensively she is a nuisance, getting steals, deflections, and contributes on the boards. This kid is solid and as she continues to build upon her body of work, look for her to be in talks at some major D1 schools.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133751"],"_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-678671195d6c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reigning MVP in her district as a freshman, it will be tough for anyone to knock her off this spot. This young lady can play the 1-4, creating a mismatch and a headache for opposing coaches. She can spot up along the arc and shoot it at a high clip. Or put it on the floor and create for herself or her teammates. Though she is a scoring machine, you better understand she isn't a one trick pony. She is going to find a way to check the other statistical columns as well. Assists, steals, and rebounds, she is going to be above average in all of those as well. Almost a nightly double-double threat, this kid is impactful. A tough player who is a monster.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821873"],"_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-678671195d793"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The more I see her play the more of a fan I become. This kid is nice! Feisty, hungry, has some in her game, she's out there competing as if it was her last. Each and every possession, this girl is in the middle of it all. On the defensive end or the offensive end, her thumbprint can be found somewhere within that possession. She is excelling with the ball in her hands. Poised under pressure, she can create like no other, keeping her head on a swivel and eyes up, she can score it from all 3 levels with ease. She accepts pressure, has a clear idea on what to do and who is open at all times. Her came continues to grow but rest assure this young lady is a special talent.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821733"],"_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-678671195d830"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;Impressive. Motored up kid who gets after it on both ends of the floor. Active hands and feet, she is flying around causing havoc when she is on the floor. Offensively, she can knock shots down from the arc or attack gaps to finish at the rim. Defensively, she is going to lock up the full length of the court, eliminating any hope for the opponent she is guarding. I have seen this girl in action a couple of times and each time I walk away thoroughly impressed. She is a gamer who brings energy. Look for her to continue to get better and be a solid factor for her club down the stretch and for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821718"],"_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-678671195d8c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;Let's just say this, when she is on the floor, you better know your personnel. This kid can score it from anywhere. She can spot up on the arc, catch and shoot from the mid-range, and finish against contact at the rim. Your best bet against her is to pray because you just don't know what she is going to do. Close out short, she will pull it. Close out long, she is going to put it on the floor and get downhill.&nbsp; She is a solid scoring option that is going to find the bottom of the net. Defensively, expect her to sit down and guard and help out on the boards. She is going to give impressive numbers all across the stat line. Solid kid with a bright future for sure.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
