<p>The "magic number" is 6'0, and since I began doing this over 15 years ago, I've had college coaches from across the country calling, emailing or even texting me about players who are six feet, I've even had calls after college classes started so yeah, that's HUGE plus, especially when you have intangibles </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hashbarger gave me the "hands and footwork" as well as the "drop step" to score around the basket. She finished strongly after contact, showed she could not only rebound on both ends but run the floor and defend</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Torres battled for everything off the rim, on both ends, but she also scored on putbacks and did a good job defensively inside the paint. Her court vision was also solid</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Tyson keeps giving me knockouts when I see her in action, and her versatility to score inside the paint, as well as off the dribble, looked good. Her defense was solid inside, she rebounded on both ends, and blocked shots </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Page falls into that "you won't outwork me" group, and she has been that way since day 1, yet I love her "on the court progression" as her skillset has gotten better, she's finishing stronger around the rim, and defending both inside and outside the paint. She's rebounding on both ends, and although she's not at "the magic number" she plays as if she is. Next level coaches request that too</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Maley has fallen into that "nightmare to defend" group because she's mixing it up offensively nicely. Yeah, the "hands and footwork" create problems, so do the putbacks, she rebounds on both ends, but her short jumper as well as scoring off the dribble from the wing was nice, so was her defense and timing to block shots</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Appleton has "stock riser" written all over her as she adds the "long and athletic" to what she brings to the table. She scores off the dribble and finishes after contact. She drops the jumper, with a hand in her face, but she also rebounds and handles the ball afterward. Her court vision is solid, so is her defense, and she plays the passing lane</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Schilling is adding more to the table, and trust me, when the table is completely set, defenders beware. She's also " long and athletic", did I mention that was the base? Well, it is, and not only does she rebound on both ends, she defends inside and outside the paint. Her "hands and footwork" got her some baskets, so did the short jumper</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hodges is young, so watching her do things not only fluidly but instinctively gives me an idea of her having some nice upside. She rebounds on both ends, and she also did a good job defensively, nice lateral movement guarding her man. She also keeps the ball high and showed she can finish around the rim</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Holt rhymes with BOLT, as in lightning, and she continues to strike with her "on the court" progression. She already has a college-ready frame, she's skilled, scores fluidly around the basket, putbacks included, and yes, she rebounds on both ends. I was also impressed with her defense and court vision </p>
