<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing you will notice about the class of 2027, they are truly guard-heavy, especially at the top. By any means, is this a bad thing because this goes to show you the game is all about speed, and these girls who are up top are some dynamic ball players. Each of the top hoopers plays for elite travel ball programs that encourage them to push the tempo of play. These girls can facilitate, score from multiple spots on the floor, lock up on the defensive end, and compete like no other. Their styles may be different somewhat, but they get results. Each of them come from different areas of the state; however these tough competitors if they were able to go at each other, they would pose an interesting matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PGs in this state from this class are some solid ballplayers. Girls you would want in your program if you were a college coach. They have skill, play with poise, and just get the job done. Don't sleep on any of these young ladies as they are difference makers now and will be for many years to come. If you are a coach, get ready to see some major talent that will have you ready to get those scholarship papers in order. This class is loaded with PGs, and these girls can truly go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some young ladies who are some young gunners who are household names.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["619788"],"_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-68221d1b70b2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Don't give this young lady any space, or she will exploit you. She has a quick first step that enables her to attack downhill and finish at the rim or enables her the ability to get into her mid-range jumper. She has range to her game, and she will knock down the 3 from a few feet off the line. Add in her ability to facilitate, she can hit an open teammate, leading to a scoring opportunity. This kid has great handles, plays D, and is just tough on both ends of the floor. Solid prospect that will be a nice addition for a program at the next level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["583370"],"_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-68221d1b70bbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her game continues to get better and better. She is a heady floor general who can score and dish with the best of them. If her team needs a bucket, she can do it, from anywhere; she is golden when it comes to hitting the bottom of the net. She is selfless, looking to pass first prior to going and getting her own. She isn't afraid to lock up on the defensive end, keeping the opponent in front, making it hard for them to operate. What I love most about her is her leadership capabilities. She is one tough kid whose game keeps evolving.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821670"],"_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-68221d1b70c2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shifty PG that can get to the rim. This kid is a highlight reel in how she plays the game. Nice handles that enable her to play off the bounce. Knocks shots down from multiple spots on the floor. Plays with solid energy and effort on D, putting her in position to get steals, deflections, and rebounds. She is a heady ball player who competes from tip to finish. Look for her to continue to grow and be a dominant force throughout the course of her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821756"],"_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-68221d1b70caf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is a scoring threat from anywhere on the floor. She can use her bag of handles, catch and shoot, take you off the dribble, and get into her floater game. My point, this young lady can score and does so at a high clip. She can play with the ball in her hands or without; either way, she knows how to exploit a defense and causes them fits throughout the course of the game. Don't let her size deter you, she plays bigger than she looks. This kid is a solid prospect and can change the course of the game at the drop of a dime.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821650"],"_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-68221d1b70d1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A confident ball player who knows how to play with pace and space. She can facilitate the rock, putting teammates in scoring opportunities. However, she can get rid of the ball and relocate to favorable spots where she can knock it down and finish. Her court awareness is crazy good in the fact that she can do damage from multiple levels on the floor. Knock down 3s, gets to the rim, doesn't matter where she is on the court, she is always a threat. She is more than an offensive threat, as she gets after it on the defensive end as well. This kid is a solid two-way player who can contribute at a consistent clip.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
