The Gospel According to Twitter

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summer time buzz brings a lot of excitement and much of it gets posted or tagged on Prep Girls Hoops X (formally Twitter) page. We make an effort to confirm relevant posts and a lot of it is rather news worthy. College coaches and other outlets use social media as a source for information. Here are some notable things that have crossed our feed this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691980"],"_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-6895f4e892ffc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reports from Twitter shows that Madison has had a nice summer showing on the Nike EYCL circuit. Thanks to [program_tooltip program_id='712942' first='Team' last='Takeover'] for sharing highlight videos (yes we watch that stuff). She looks effective getting the most of her two steps after finishing her dribble. She also can pull up from the mid-range. Reports that she have grown to 5'11" and playing multiple positions. I got a call from a coach that was considering her at point guard, at that size she would fall in the elite category at that position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["569077"],"_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-6895f4e893052"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thanks to Team Thrill for updating us on Giselle and her summer campaign. She showed range from beyond the arc and physicality and the willingness to seek out the contact and finish strong afterwards at the basket. She uses her pivot well and has some good pump fakes inside to get the defender off balance. She attacks well from the triple threat position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1059404"],"_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-6895fd776273a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sierra submitted her own video showing that she is now a Fairfax Stars product. She keeps her head up at the point and gets the ball off quickly on finishes disrupting the timing of potential shot blockers. She has a smooth effortless three pointer with a pure release.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["864319"],"_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-689604158a237"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thanks to Jaylah for self publishing her updates. It's a pleasure when you see a dominant young kid still able to keep that level of dominance up as they move up and progress into high school and beyond, especially on the elite level. Jaylah is doing everything we though she would and more. It's hard to find flaws in her game, you have a scorer that doesn't mind distributing the ball. She keeps her head up on drives making it hard for the defense to commit while making the game fun for her teammates. She has a nice shot but isn't looking to jack it up on every opportunity and she is a good finisher at the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785460"],"_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-68964b034bb8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sharpshooter kept us up to date with video and team results from [program_tooltip program_id='750645' first='Team' last='Melo'] EYCL. We learned that Cayenne is more than a catch and shoot player. She can create space to get her shot off and get to the basket. Her accuracy from the field requires the respect from the defense, but even tight defense didn't stop her from getting her shot off. She has a sort of wiggle step back that seems to work all of the time. At some point defenders will scout and adjust to it, I'm sure she will have a counter ready when it happens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep us tagged on X at @PGHMaryland, you can also email us at <a href="mailto:nextsportsphenom@gmail.com">nextsportsphenom@gmail.com</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
