<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are quite a few players who can make big moves this summer and really impress college coaches with a big 16u AAU season. Here's a look at some 2027s who could make a big impact in their 16u AAU seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915873"],"_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-68081def29c76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Packer is a difference maker thanks to her elite size at the post position but she's also been developing more and more offensive game over the last year or so. Lyla averaged 8.8 points per game this past season but will need to contribute more rebounding to really start jumping off the page at coaches. Lyla is certainly a player who can garner multiple offers this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["738252"],"_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-68081def29ccf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A talented scorer who also excels at doing a lot of winning things, Messer is a big wing who can score the ball efficiently and make an impact on the defensive end. She shot the three at a high percentage in her Sophomore season but is effective at both getting to the rim and finishing through contact when necessary. Maci could be primed for a big AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["652045"],"_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-68081def29d13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kyleigh is likely to put up some big statistical games this summer thanks to being able to be a primary attacker on offense. Stakelin has some real positional versatility and knows how to be impactful when she's not operating with the ball in her hands. With her positional size and solid athleticism, don't be shocked to see a big AAU season from Kyleigh.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743671"],"_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-68081def29d51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The younger Macy sister is ready for her time to shine now that Leah is headed to college. Loren is not blessed with the same physical size as her sister but she has grown up going through the same workouts and putting the work in just as well as Leah did. This AAU season could be the start of [player_tooltip player_id='743671' first='Loren' last='Macy'] making her own name.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There are quite a few players who can make big moves this summer and really impress college coaches with a big 16u AAU season. Here's a look at some 2027s who could make a big impact in their 16u AAU seasons.
