AAU Season: Players Proving Their College Potential

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below we discuss five prospects that have been producing on the road this AAU for their respective programs. Each hooper has proven that they are solid on both the high school floor in the past and now they are ready to show the Country the same thing over these next three months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923922"],"_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-680591ec0f50d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='923922' first='Valerie' last='Rosener'] is a name that we were not too familiar with so far throughout her high school career but that has changed this past month. Rosener is a 5'11 SG that is lethal from the outside with her catch-and-shoot ability. She has also demonstrated that she is willing to post up smaller defender near the block or she can also take someone off the dribble for a better look for herself or a fellow teammate. If Rosener can work on speeding up all of her fundamental skills over these next few years, she is going to be a very intriguing prospect for someone at the collegiate level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759113"],"_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-680591ec0f562"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Throughout the first few weeks of this AAU season and [player_tooltip player_id='759113' first='Justine' last='Tcheuhchoua'] of NHE 17U has been doing WORK. She has been consistently leading her team in PPG in each of their contests. As well as being a standout on defense with her presence in the middle of the painted area. Being dominant on one side of the ball can be simple at times but to do it on both sides means something. It means that if Tcheuhchoua isn't having the best game on one side, she can still make a positive impact on the other. That's been the case so far this AAU season and I don' t expect that to slow down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913222"],"_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-680591ec0f5ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A few weeks ago [player_tooltip player_id='913222' first='Julia' last='Van Keuren'] received a shoutout for her performance on the road with her [program_tooltip program_id='714272' first='Iowa' last='Battlers'] program. Van Keuren, a 6'2 SF, is someone that everyone has to watch for when they are attacking the hoops against the Battlers. She is lengthy, has great reactionary skills, and a nose for getting a tip or deflection on the basketball. Being this tall and coordinated is a commodity for college programs. I'm not positive but I wouldn't be shocked if Van Keuren had some D1 programs reach out over these next few months. She possesses all the intangibles, now it's all about putting those to good use.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["582806"],"_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-680591ec0f5f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='582806' first='Trishelle' last='Miller'] has kicked off this 2025 AAU Szn like her normal self. She has been on the road, making defenders look silly with her shifty dribbling ability. This ability leads to Miller either getting all the way to the bucket, getting into open space for a jump shot or into the teeth of the defense to look for a crafty assist. [program_tooltip program_id='779942' first='ETG' last='Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB'] 17U is coming off of an Adidas National Title. If they want to repeat, Miller is going to have to be a big part of that by playing the best basketball of her career. Something that is do-able from an outside perspective.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880913"],"_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-680591ec0f639"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the only 2028's from Iowa or Nebraska, that has received an offer because of how well she has started this AAU season is [player_tooltip player_id='880913' first='Kelli' last='Kalb'] of Johnston High School and [program_tooltip program_id='712377' first='All' last='Iowa Attack'] EYBL. Kalb is a next level talent at the SG position. She is a knock down shooter from deep, she can handle it a little bit and run offense as the PG, or she can post up someone smaller and weaker if the opportunity presents itself. Kalb was a crucial player to the Dragons 5A State Title this past Winter and that, along with this AAU season and Kalb has just received her first D1 offer to Drake out of Des Moines. This is a smart move by Drake to get their name in early because it's only a matter of time until more recruiters start reaching out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
