The USC commit has returned to the midwest after playing a year at Montverde Academy, and will play her senior year at SPIRE Academy. I'm not sure there's enough adjectives to describe the 2026's #1 recruit in the country. She's a generational talent, capable of making a lasting impact on the game for years to come. <em>(Below on defense, Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1313105,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/09/CEF273F9-86E2-438D-B0E6-21386839C79F_1_201_a.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1313105" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["329562"],"_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-68bf44c99b377"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia is such a key player for Laurel- she gives emotional toughness on defense, frees herself on back door cuts resulting in easy points, and she able to work the baseline to her advantage! Strong shooter from outside! Consistent player on both ends of the basket! <em>(Below, passing)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1313108,"width":"300px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/09/7D22D081-0203-4F1C-AC93-C1D3B0550130_1_105_c.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-1313108" style="width:300px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1304502"],"_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-68bf44c99b3ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coaches, if you have not seen Baker, you need to make it a priority! 6'1 physical beast that owns anything around the rim. Period. Powerful drop step on the block, knocks down the 8-10 footers, cleans it up all day! Terrific hands ready to catch and score. She is a next level player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1307293"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1313115,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68bf44c99b426"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vieth is a problem! Love how she can handle tight pressure while bringing the ball up! Pretty spin moves in the paint, under control, and confident shooter! Distributes the rock well, can get out and run the ball in transition, and has beautiful delivery around the rim! Nothing but nylon from deep!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1313114,"width":"153px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/09/FD854D09-063C-4B5B-BD2F-A64538EFF9EC_1_201_a_5ba9bc.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-1313114" style="width:153px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911961"],"_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-68bf44c99b472"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keep your eyes on this power forward! She knows how to put the ball in the basket! Strong frame, solid footwork particularly on the block and around the paint, and she protects the bucket with her blocks and rebounds! Plays with great instinct- reads passes well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
