Club Season Preview-BDA 17U Nike EYCL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had a chance to check out multiple teams from [program_tooltip program_id='712416' first='BDA' last=''], so let me start with their 17U Nike EYCL roster. Not in attendance were<strong> Mikaela McClain</strong>, <strong>Tycee Thibeaux,</strong> and <strong>Antyiahna Lang </strong>but I've seen a couple of those players multiple times, and this group is solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["858505"],"_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-67c46a19a5dc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooks has been "COOKIN" since I caught her initially five years ago<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2020/11/ms-new-faces-from-just-play-fall-ball-finals/"> see evaluation here </a></em></strong>and her ability to get by defenders continues to impress me.

Her court vision across the board was solid, her first step is a problem for defenders as she attacks off the dribble and she too applied heat on defense</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1208533"],"_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-67c46a19a5ebb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis falls into that #sizedontmatter group and it doesn't matter because she can play. She's athletic and uses her athleticism on both ends, her "on-the-ball" pressure was solid, and she also set the defender up to attack and finish off the dribble. She saw the floor and made good decisions </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880015"],"_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-67c46a19a5efe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Comeaux has some solid upside to go along with her "college-ready frame" yet she also stands above "the magic number".

She attacked the basket powerfully and finished strongly, after contact but her court vision in the set as well as in transition was nice, and so was her pull-up jumper, she even gave me "the catch and shoot". Her defensive pressure also helped to create turnovers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874890"],"_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-67c46e1c934b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott impressed me in the #KickoffClassic <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/11/game-3-new-faces-pearland-vs-dickinson-kickoffclassic/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> and her being over "the magic number" and can "shoot it" will bring attention from next-level coaches.
