<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are quite a few players who can make big moves this summer and really impress college coaches with a big 15u AAU season. Here's a look at some 2028s who could make a big impact in their 15u AAU seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["831862"],"_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-680a9a258e869"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nakiah is a talented scoring guard who can play on or off the ball. She plays with a great motor and has a little mean streak to her game. She's not afraid of a little physicality. If Mejia can improve her shooting from range, she will likely have scholarship level schools from all over the Midwest coming to evaluate her. There is a big spring and summer coming up for the Scott star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["973362"],"_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-680a9a258e8cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patton had a VERY strong freshman season for the Lady Bulldogs and should be riding momentum into her AAU season. After averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds this season, Jada is ready for a big summer. Dominant around the block, Patton is starting to look more comfortable when she's out past the three point line. If she adds that aspect to her game, good luck guarding her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903695"],"_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-680a9a258e915"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riley could be the next star at Sacred Heart and she's bound to have a big summer season as she starts ramping up for a bigger role for the Valkyries. Gilvin is a very efficient scorer who can score at every level. She plays hard and knows how to create her own shot or get a teammate an open look. Don't be surprised if she starts working her way up the big board of colleges this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881424"],"_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-680a9a258e957"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koko has the potential to contribute a double double every time she hits the court and this AAU season should be no different. Castle is a little undersized to play the 4 at the next level but she plays hard and bigger than she really is at 5'9". She can also knock down open threes. Koko shot 32% from three on nearly 100 attempts for Tates Creek this past season. She's definitely a name to track this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
