I-35 OKC Showcase Notes (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fall I-35 Showcase is always a great event when it comes to Oklahoma. Many of the top Oklahoma players come as well as players from neighboring states. This Saturday was no different. Enjoyed the day of watching players and taking notes on some, I know others being the first time. If I miss you hit with those highlights and follow X @coachjvick1 of IG @coach_jvick</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1111400"],"_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-68cf499326b6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second weekend in a row I have seen Ela play and each time she has made top of my list. The ceiling is high for this young player. She does so many things right even the little details. At 5'11 she is a long guard that can handle the ball, shoot the outside shot, and get downhill for the finish layup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solid defensive player that gives a coach the choice of guarding the other teams guard or small forward. You know that to play for coach Young you must know defense. 2028 that I would circle to watch this upcoming season for the Lady Jackets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847046"],"_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-68cf499326c18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addie showed why is among the list of top shooters int he state no matter what class. The shooting guard average 4-5 made 3's in two games if not more. I lost track after the first 4 in the first game. A player that you must fight over ball screens as she can make those outside shots on top of the ball screen. What I liked was that at times she played the point guard spot wight great vision showing that she is a very versatile guard. It was a very impressive showing for Addie today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I understand the nickname now Addi3 Van Gild3r. Exciting guard that has received several college offers over the past few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051921"],"_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-68cf499326ca0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Outstanding 2030 that played up in this event. The only thing that showed she was an 8th grader was her birthday. A physical and gifted small forward that showed great footwork around the rim dishing out up and under moves for finishes. Tough mid-range game on the catch and off the dribble. A gritty rebounder that does a great job of positioning herself in the right spot for offensive putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I see the shooting guard position as well with the jumper and mid-range game as mentioned. The ball handling is solid, and the court vision is there as well. An 8th grader that plays at a 15-16u level already. Fort Gibson has some good young players in their program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["331841"],"_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-68cf499326d2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yonae might be my choice of the player who made the most of the opportunity in front of coaches today. She showed her versatility as a guard. Handled the ball at the point on breaks, shot the outside shot and attacked the lane finishing at the rim. All out hustle on every play at both ends of the floor. Great communication skills talking to her teammates on defense and offense showing she has those leadership qualities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 has received offers form several colleges. I think more will follow over the next few months as well. The senior will be a key part as Union looks to make return to state this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["932934"],"_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-68cf499326db6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">First time seeing, Brylee play and her constant movement around the bucket was very nice to watch. Let me say the low post forward was very impressive. Dose of fakes up/under and step throughs were on point as you could tell hours have been put in on those moves. I lost track of how many rebounds she grabbed today but I will for sure say they were in double digits each game. Good timing on the pick/roll with nice hands for the easy finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brylee is great size at 5'9 that can play up-down the court but physical that she can be very effective in the half-court game as well. 2027 among the top performers at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
