Saturday’s 2027 Stars at ENG Sports Invitational

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ENG Sports held their annual Invitational (FKA Candice Dupree Invitational) on Mother's Day Weekend &amp; hosted some of the best teams from Florida as well as a few out-of-state teams. This weekend was used as solid prep and competition in Wesley Chapel before the May live period next weekend. Here are some players that shined on Saturday morning from the 2027 class:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["221599"],"_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-6821ffed51ed0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caelyn really impressed me this weekend with her size and her length. You can tell she has a good feel for the game and plays with a subtle confidence. She made some really tough buckets in traffic on Saturday that showed her ability to score it at the rim. Her length and athleticism also allow her to get in passing lanes and she created some big turnovers for her team with that defensive presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232661"],"_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-6821ffed51f2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Laylah was a walking BUCKET over the weekend. If her team needed points, she could take over and create her own by getting downhill with her handles and speed and either score it herself or dish it to her open teammate. She was knocking down the 3 ball and finishing over bigger defenders on Saturday. She's quick, shifty, and plays with one of the best motors in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248380"],"_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-6821ffed51f76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aaliyah has a really nice/strong frame with good length at the wing position. That versatility allows her to really stretch and space the floor. She was knocking down some three balls on Saturday with a quick release and solid form. She's definitely one of the more versatile players in this 2027 class which translates well for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1245927"],"_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-6821ffed51fbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie was making all kinds of plays for her team on Saturday. She has nice length and is a really versatile player with good size in the 2027 class. She can bring the ball up the court, find the right angle for a pass, or use a quick first step to get to the rack. Her step-through move and ability to cut to the rim and move without the ball made her stand out throughout the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248678"],"_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-6821ffed52005"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikayla was doing a little bit of everything for her team on Saturday. She was knocking down the 3 ball, and she is so quick to the rim that she couldn't be stopped getting downhill and had some impressive finishes with her left. Her ability to create and see the floor make her a top guards in her class. Mikayla's handles and passing were on full display with her making a pretty one-handed dump down pass that led to an easy bucket for her teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1245931"],"_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-6821ffed5204b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ava has nice size at her position and has a really unselfish game as a leader on her team. Her passing in transition was solid, she uses a nice shot fake to create her own, and she also had a nice lefty finish for some transition points on Saturday. On defense, she used her length and active hands to create some deflections and steals that led to positive plays for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
