<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick rundown of 7 Oklahoma prospects that stood out in Saturday action at Wichita. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897488"],"_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-6860d2ba3f4a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a Saturday opener against a team with a big front line, Pendley proved to be a match up problem. When left open from three, she made the defense pay. While also putting it on the floor with face up attacks. Then her ball fakes and low post footwork were on point. Often getting the taller defenders guessing, leading to clean scores or trips to the line. When her offensive game is humming like it was on Saturday, she's one of the toughest one on one covers in Oklahoma. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910307"],"_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-68607e5d26c9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slagle is a scorer and producer, with a Jack of All Trades feel to her game. She can spot up from three, especially the corner to provide shooting. Need somebody to crash the glass? Slagle will do that too. On the offensive end in particular, as she racks up the second chance points. Plays with the same toughness with helping to contest shots on defense. And also forcing steals. The Berryhill Maiden also looks more mobile and skilled overall. Boding well for her work to develop into more of a 3/4 hybrid forward prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846981"],"_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-6860d2ba3f526"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Givens seemingly always plays with energy and toughness. That was the case on Saturday morning, but came with an important addition. She was scoring the rock too. There was running the floor and other hustles instances. While also connecting at least three times from beyond the arc. Then had a great score against size that started with a great ball fake, and ended with an athletic step through move for a scorer. Energy and scoring, what's not to like about a competitor like Givens?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847046"],"_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-68607e5d26cf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let it fly from deep with confidence in a Saturday afternoon win. Had a stretch where she strung together three makes from DEEP, with quickness. Which helped swing the game and pour it on for JYD. Shooting is always valuable and Vin Gilder appears to be very adept at that aspect. Complete with the potential to hit back breaking threes in big games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1097683"],"_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-68607e5d26c38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bays has the bonafides as one of the better shooters in Oklahoma's loaded Class of 2028. She hit her fair share of threes today, while also breaking out a nifty spin move on drives to the rim. Along with producing off the ball, she's comfortable and smart when getting off the ball and moving to openings. Good signs of Bays refining her all around scoring skills. Setting the stage for her to continue to fill it up over the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992446"],"_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-6860d2ba3f5b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fresh off an Oral Roberts offer, Sudbeck continues to impress. It's a very simple but effective playbook for the rising sophomore. Knockdown threes like they're layups. Crash the glass on both ends of the floor. And bring an air of toughness and tenacity on the defensive end, that would appear surprising because of her current skinny frame. It's a winning recipe, and Sudbeck cooked up success. This time in playing a key role for independent squad against a pair of successful shoe circuit teams. At the rate of her recent development, ORU will have stiff competition for her services. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944129"],"_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-6860d2ba3f632"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speedy guard, who is clearly working on her perimeter shooting. Starting to look very confident with her stepback, extending all the way out to the three point line. Which is particularly tough to defend, as her speed already has defenders playing off. Along with the improved shooting, Wilson often played at a good tempo Saturday. Had the occasional youthful mistakes with wild moments, but generally played in control. All while going at a speed that few opponents can match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
