Hoffman is a lengthy SG with a solid feel for the game and a beautiful shooting stroke off the catch from deep. She has a raw ability on both sides of the ball that could turn into a lot of production someday down the line. Hoffman demonstrates a top notch worth ethic and that, mixed with her natural size - could take her places as a SG/CG. It looks like she will be homeschooled moving into this Fall so we will see how she progresses. This can either be a huge advantage or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it. If she stays locked in mentally - she could be a vital piece to a program in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900208"],"_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-68758a3c65581"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Midwest is going to hear the name [player_tooltip player_id='900208' first='MJ' last='Murphy'] over her next four years out on the basketball court. Murphy is a hooper with good touch, balance, coordination, situational awareness, and a lengthy body to pair along with all of that. Down-low she is someone that could be an impactful producer at the Varsity level with the correct guidance. She might be out of the 2029 Class but this is definitely someone that could make some impressive things happen over her career with how she presents herself now. She towers above move her age and that + her athletic ability is going to help her in the long run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["886240"],"_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-68758a3c655d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Every-time I look at the box score or score sheet for the Missouri Phenom 14U - Iowa team, Kiersten Tobock is on there stuffing the stats in a number of different ways. She is showing up scoring, assisting, and rebounding more than most, while holding her own defensively as well. It's always tough to grade players going into high school to a certain extend but with how consistent Tebock has been the past six months, I'm sure that won't change up moving into the high school ranks this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268679"],"_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-68758a3c6561e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1268679' first='Mauve' last='Ryan'] has demonstrated this season some steady improvement at the guard position. Ryan is a player that can defend other guards really well. She never seems to lose a step on anyone that she is guarding and she is extremely tough to get by in 1v1 situations with her awareness on that side of the ball. She is also someone with a calming presence. She can get her team set and back into their system whenever havoc might occur. I'm not sure if Ryan will play varsity ball right away this Winter with the Saints because of how many they return but we will see. She will be a varsity starter before you know it, it just might not be this year and that's okay. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
