<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some <strong>NEW FACES</strong> to the mix, I'm sure the July viewing period will have my eyes on some more, but the next UPDATE will be around October</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1250219"],"_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-686f9fd6c53f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson blew me away at the<strong> Queen Of The South</strong>, and that event has placed a lot of <strong>New Faces</strong> on my rankings. Her size, standing above "the magic number" as well as athleticism, well, long too, grabbed my attention immediately, but her defense both inside and outside the paint left a lasting impression, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/2027-new-faces-from-queen-of-the-south/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["845958"],"_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-686f9fd6c5457"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chastain is arguably one of the best shooting guards in Texas, and with numerous Division 1 offers on the table, that solidifies what I'm saying. She played for a school out of state last season, which is why she's making her debut. I haven't seen her in a couple of seasons, so I'm expecting her to rise in the future</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880636"],"_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-686f9fd6c54a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arwola made my <strong>Tip Sheet back in 2023 </strong>at the<strong> Super 64 <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/07/super-64-2027-watch/">see evaluation here</a></em>,<em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/07/super-64-2027-watch/"> </a></em></strong>and I said she was close to that magic number of 6'0.

She's long and athletic, which is the base and stands at "the magic number" so her versatility scoring both inside the paint as well as dropping the jumper along with defending both inside and outside the paint has me smiling <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/game-changers-from-tabc-showcase-pt-2/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1208713"],"_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-686f9fd6c553d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Obanla was another player I knew nopthing about and I saw the potential when I had a chance to cover her club teams tryouts but here's the deal, yeah i was impressed because she was "long and athletic" which will always be the base, and stood above 6'0, but her timing to block shots JUST DID IT for me. Since then, I have watched her "on the court" progression as she keeps adding more <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/genesis-obanla/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226644"],"_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-686f9fd6c5587"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberson has been on my radar since middle school, and even back then, the potential stood out, but what has impressed me is her ability to stand out in various settings.
