She's a lengthy wing that can stretch the floor at a consistent rate, and can put up high numbers in multiple stat categories. The last month of AAU could bring up some more offers, and with her HS season coming up, shell more in a dominant role, so chances of seeing her in another gear could be possible as well. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598837"],"_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-684f461bf1faa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Easily one of the more skilled players in this class, Baptist has been on a tear since the AAU season kicked off, and has caught the attention of every scout covering the event she's playing in. Competiting and getting quality minutes on a program with high level D1 prospects up and down the roster counts for a lot. The kid has strong potential. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866702"],"_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-684f461bf1ff2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>I still believe Nussmeyer is under the radar when it comes to high-level D1 prospects in Illinois. She possesses all the intangibles of a versatile player who can be impactful in multiple systems at a mid or high-major program. The next step is being consistent in whatever role she's in. Wouldn't shock me to see a couple of offers hit her door in the next month or two. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["672830"],"_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-684f461bf2038"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Coming back from injury, Megan has seemed to add a little more athleticism and versatility to her game. She looks stronger, she's moving smoother, and she still shows a strong amount of aggression on both ends. Offers should roll in soon, but the hesitation could be labeled because she's a "tweener". Regardless, she could benefit from a program at the Division 1 level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509631"],"_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-684f461bf207d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Semith has been consistent in her production, in my opinion. Not just on the offensive end, but just the entirety of the game. She covers a lot of space and uses her versatility to be a threat in a multitude of ways. She's active on the defensive end, always moving, reading the gaps, and constantly rotating. Offensively, she can control the whole game if it calls for it. A strong talent.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
