She is an excellent two-way performer. She moves her feet and she has quick hands on defense. She creates well off the dribble to get her own shot on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jocelyn Smock (Jacksonville, IL): A 5'8" forward who was very effective around the basket where she was able to use her strength to her advantage. She can also step out and shoot it from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849015' first='Carlie' last='Moore'] (Hickman): A 5'8" guard who is an excellent all-around offensive player. She can shoot it well from downtown and she also facilitates well with her ball handling and passing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addy Schooler (Tonganoxie, KS): A 5'11" forward from Kansas who is a very good inside-outside threat. She seals well in the post and can score with either hand. She was also driving the ball and knocking down 3-pointers off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='905299' first='Zaria' last='Jefferson'] (Jefferson City): The 5'8" guard was the most impressive athlete at the camp. She used her quick first step to get by defenders and score on slashing drives. She was also rebounding the ball and leading the break with her speed in the open court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elliott Utterback (Van-Far): A 5'7" guard who has a solid offensive bag, which enabled her to score at all three levels. She can shoot the ball and she was scoring on some crafty drives. She also did a nice job on defense fighting over ball screens. I noticed that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rikai Cook (Shawnee Mission Northwest): A 5'6" point guard from Kansas who was one of the better defenders at the camp. She was providing some good on-ball defensive pressure. She also plays with good pace on offense as she likes to get downhill on the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='782646' first='Olivia' last='Luebbering'] (Helias): A 6'3" forward who has good mobility and is a defensive presence in the lane with her height and length. She could also step out and hit the 3-pointer off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='927521' first='Heslie' last='Higginbotham'] (Linn): A 5'10" forward who was effective on the drive and an good finisher around the basket. She worked through contact very well. She is also a very unselfish player who passes the ball well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harmony Loftis (Wheaton): A 5'8" guard from the SWMO area who is a small school talent with good athleticism and the ability to score. She can really shoot it from 3-point range with the ability to attack off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
