<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Opening a busy spring with a look at a group of 2026 prospects who started their final AAU season with strong performance on Saturday at the Battle at the Hive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["576992"],"_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-67df4cdb6c666"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two way impact player, who had moments of dominance during spurts of the opening win for Swarm 2026. Closed out the first quarter with a nice defensive stop, then drew a foul on a last second shot with a heady play to get off a halfcourt shot at the buzzer. Continued to showcase her full offensive game with a catch and shoot three. Along with an nifty one legged fadeaway on a drive. Impressive offensive showing for a player who is also known for her defensive tenacity and feel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846989"],"_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-67df4cdb6c6e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lead guard who can score in a hurry. Started Saturday with a flurry of buckets, including triples. Stayed active and involved throughout even when her scoring cooled off. Good handles and brought up the ball with ease against pressure. Aggressive and smart defender, who is often in the right place at right time. Strong all around showing for a prospect that is set for a big spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880994"],"_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-67df4cdb6c72f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smooth guard, who looked the part with her handles and passing. Has a gliding movement profile, which makes it look easy when pushing the ball, driving to the hoop or crossing up an opponent. Good vision, complete with misdirection from her eyes to move the defense around and still hit an open teammate. Wasn't her day as a scorer, but still saw a lot to like with her combination of size, movement and skill level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934771"],"_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-67df4cdb6c774"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Physical post player, with good short area quickness and quick hands. Roll threat and off the ball mover, who can catch and score in one fluid move while cutting to the basket. Can hit in the mid-range by popping up in openings around the free throw line. Low post game also featured a turnaround jumper. Her quick and active hands also showed up when securing rebounds in traffic. And even making a nice block in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912963"],"_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-67df4cdb6c7b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When matched up against a bigger Kansas squad, Murillo was an important piece as a battler. Good athlete, who competed for rebounds amongst the trees. While also working to alter shots on defense. On offense, has a good rip and go game when presented a lane. Long strides allow her to get downhill in a hurry, and either finish or draw a foul. Brings solid defensive versatility and overall impact thanks to good athleticism and a strong motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["678390"],"_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-67df4cdb6c80e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Small school standout who got busy in an early afternoon win by going downhill and hitting in the mid-range. Showed good body control on one drive, where she took contact well and had the strength and hangtime to still finish. Enjoyed a strong junior season, where she overcome a minor injury. And now looks like she's ready to hit the ground running for a busy spring with the Swarm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
