<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer has brought a ton of content from rankings to recruitment news, to just general top performer articles. However, as August closes out and school is about to be back in session for all, there wouldn't be a better time to discuss some players that aren't mentioned as much as others. Below are 5 players that should be talked about more currently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Use code&nbsp;MBG30&nbsp;for 30% off your first purchase of any subscription</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232371"],"_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-68b10db265103"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1232371' first='Zoe' last='Hunter'] (2028) | 5'10 SG/SF | NMH </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zoe offers great positional length, shooting and nice takes off the dribble. She cuts to the basket well plus she's patient within the halfcourt. Hunter has a lot of potential in her game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1005218"],"_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-68b10db265165"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1005218' first='Harper' last='Zalaski'] (2026) | 6'0 Wing | Keene </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zalaski doesn't hold back when competing. The athletic wing works hard and affects the game with great effort. Harper gets after it no matter what her role is. The production she provides in her minutes is impressive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1237357"],"_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-68b10db2651ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tayla Walker (2026) | PG/CG | Cranston West </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It'll be nice to catch Walker in action this season. Cranston West will be hungry, especially with Talya being a leader of the squad. She won't be a detriment to the team, chucking up shots as a guard, rather she's a player that loves to contribute to the assist column. Walker is an aggressive defender too, getting underneath ballhandlers and being a pest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232030"],"_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-68b10db265219"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devyn Walsh (2027) | 6'0 Forward | Pentucket </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Walsh is an all-purpose forward that can do many things on the floor well. She's quite productive in and around the paint, plus she can even extend the defense a bit. Devyn is also a considerable offensive rebounder. As a defender herself, Walsh makes an effort to stop lane penetration and provide steady help-side assistance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225188"],"_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-68b10db26525e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1225188' first='Maddie' last='Belanger'] (2027) | 5'11 PF/C | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Belanger has athleticism, size, dexterity and agility that propels her as a stretch big. Maddie likes to shoot the midrange as well as taking opposing bigs of the dribble. Bringing posts out the paint, allowing for her to have more space to operate as she crafts lane drives. Not just a one-way player though, the defense Maddie provides can be grand over the course of the game. As she remains engaged, the opposing team's scorers must be wary of where she is. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
