<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we dive a little deeper into the positional breakdowns, let's take a look at the power forward group in the ‘27 class. These young ladies have arrived on the scene packed full of potential. This class has young ladies who are filled with so much potential, hailing from this position. The multiple ways they can impact the game are crazy good. When something needs to get done, you will likely see someone from this position step up. Throughout the tournament this year, it was the ladies from this specific spot that had a major impact as a whole. Not every team is equipped with someone who can hold down this position. However, if a club has one, you better believe she is a difference maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the ‘27 rankings, you will find ballplayers who just so happen to give their team an edge. Maybe it's on the defensive end. Maybe it's within the framework of an offense. My point is that the young ladies who hold down this position bring their lunchpails to the party and can help change the course of the game in their team's favor. Check out some young ladies who pack a powerful punch and bring their talents to the hardwood nightly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821620"],"_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-682628b402eb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady comes into this conversation packed with so much potential. She is a unicorn in the fact that she can do all things. Call her a point forward instead of a power forward, she can bring the ball up and attack just as good as she can run the lanes and catch a ball over the top. She is a 3-level scoring threat who knows how to exploit an opponent's weakness. Doesn't matter where she is on the floor; she is a threat to score. On the defensive end, she is a killer. Block shots, she owns the glass, she gets steals. She knows how to shut the party down. This kid is phenomenal, and power 4 schools are clamouring for her commitment. She's one tough kid with a very high ceiling.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039137"],"_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-682628b402f16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Super talented kid who can stretch the floor with the best of them. She can dial it up from deep at a consistent clip. What I love about her game, she doesn't hesitate to put the ball on the floor to get to the rim. She can face up inside and score as well as dominate with her back to the basket. She is big-time on the defensive end as well, making an impact every game. I can't stress enough how talented this kid is, with more room to grow. Look for her to have multiple college coaches dialing her up this travel ball season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821818"],"_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-682628b402f5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Multi-sport athlete who plays the game with tons of energy. This kid gets after it on every possession. Doesn't matter if it's on the defensive end or offensive side of the ball, she is going to leave her mark one way or another. She has a knack for being around the basketball. She has a great sense of court awareness and is always looking to get steals. Her efforts on D lead to easy transitional buckets going the other way. She is a hungry individual who can score at will by finding favorable spots on the floor. This kid had a coming-out party this past season, and I believe she will stack multiple seasons that will be comparable to this past one. Super talented kid with a high ceiling.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822224"],"_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-682628b402f9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady's game has grown over the past year. She is an old-school bruiser who does her work around the blocks. She has a nice mid-range game to add to her bag, but around the low block area, she is a killer. What stands out to me is her ability to rebound the basketball. It could be on either end, she just has great awareness of attacking the ball with two hands and securing the basketball. She plays with a lot of grit and is truly a dominant force down low. Packed with so many attributes, this kid is truly a difference maker.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821714"],"_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-682628b402fd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An absolute dawg that is strong. She is an enforcer who rebounds the ball really well on both ends. She owns the painted area and makes it difficult for opponents to establish real estate down low. She is a strong defender, which is something she prides herself on. Offensively, she cleans up messes. Gets after it on the offensive class and has a nice mid-range game to go along with her ability to create second-chance opportunities. This kid is talented and really kicks it up another notch when it becomes game time.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
