<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are still a few players who can make big moves this summer and really impress college coaches with a big final AAU season. Here's a look at some 2026s who could make a big impact in their 17u AAU seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376790"],"_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-67e7227f5b74b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keziah had a monster season at Butler and has a ton of momentum going into her final AAU season. Averaging 17 and 7 is impressive in the competitive 6th region but her shooting splits are absolutely ridiculous. Renee' shot 57% from the field and 54% from three this season! If she does those kinds of numbers during AAU, Keziah will have schools lining up to offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["494529"],"_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-67e7227f5b7a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spivey is a big guard at 5'11 and averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds this season for Rockcastle. Macy is a good shooter but can also attack off the bounce or is comfortable posting up smaller guards when the opportunity comes. With her size, Spivey is able to rise up and shoot over smaller defenders as well. Definitely a player to track this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376798"],"_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-67e7227f5b7f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another big guard, Emma is 6'1 and capable of scoring the ball at any level. She is also a good shot blocker thanks to her size. After averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game this past season, Clinger is hungry for college offers. With Emma playing for a very good Arctic Rush team, look for the roster to draw coaches and Emma to possibly earn multiple scholarships.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["605643"],"_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-67e7227f5b83a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another member of Arctic Rush, Ashcraft is a volume scorer from the PG spot at the high school level but should be more of a facilitator with the roster around her in AAU. Lilly Paige is able to use a quick first step and get into the paint where she's a capable finisher but excels at creating open looks for teammates. Definitely one to monitor this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493157"],"_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-67e7227f5b880"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two of the three leading scorers at North Laurel will be lost to graduation in a couple of months and I expect Combs to be one of the biggest stock boosters next season but that can start as soon as next month with a big AAU season. Haley is a good shooter who can get to the rim and finish. Look for her to have a big spring and summer that gets her ready for a breakout season with the Lady Jags next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There are still a few players who can make big moves this summer and really impress college coaches with a big final AAU season. Here's a look at some 2026s who could make a big impact in their 17u AAU seasons.
