Gems In The Gym Fresh Faces: High Octane Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Gems In The Gym's Fresh Faces is one of my favorite national events to attend, as it attracts high-level prospects who have the potential to be at the top of the talent pool throughout their high school careers. The event took place at Fremont High School in Oakland, CA. It attracted some of the top prospects from around the country; here are the high-octane prospects I was able to scout who I feel can turn heads on a national scale:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1234001"],"_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-68b8734a01b1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hardy is a sure-fire elite power 4 guard prospect. A complete player who impacts the game on both ends of the floor. I was very impressed with her decision-making, basketball IQ, and three-level scoring ability. The icing on the cake was her ability to defend all 94 feet. I won't be surprised to see Power 4 schools recruiting her hard early. My advice to college coaches is to build a relationship early, as her stock is going to fly through the roof!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974879"],"_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-68b8734a01bf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson is a mean machine; she plays extremely aggressively and with quick pace. Already holding a University of Houston offer, she will be one of the most sought-after prospects in the country by the time she's an upperclassman. A swill army knife type prospect who can do it all on both ends of the floor. Jackson impressed me with her ability to guard all 5 positions, scoring ability, and supreme athleticism. Another prospect for college coaches to get involved with, as her stock will spike.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239084"],"_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-68b8734a01ca6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mayorquin is a big guard who can easily play both guard positions at the next level. I was truly impressed with her three-level scoring ability, basketball IQ, and craftiness when attacking defenders. She can also defend at a high level. Her poise and composure in pressure situations are what really sold me for only being a freshmen. I expect her to be one of the top prospects out of the Pacific Northwest regardless of class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255336"],"_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-68b8734a01d70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ribbens did not disappoint as she bullied her way around the paint all the games I was able to watch her play. She has soft hands and great footwork for her size. Ribbens is capable of getting up and down the court and is quickly emerging as one of the top prospects in the 2029 class here in Arizona. I expect her recruitment to pick up and project her to land at a Power 4 School due to her size, quickness, and skillset. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268756"],"_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":1311481,"_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-68b8734a01e74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mack is another big-time prospect to emerge at Fresh Faces. She has good size and potential. She has good strength and athletic ability, and moves without the ball well. With continued development, she will be one of the most sought-after post prospects on the West Coast. I still expect her to be a high major prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
