<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Girls Hoops showcase season in Minnesota wrapped up on Sunday in Maple Grove with the PGH Expo. A variety of intriguing 2026 and 2027 (plus a couple of 2029) prospects were on hand and we're doing evaluations on all six teams. This is part 2 of our Team 3 evaluations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["665719"],"_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-68d25c3fb54b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The #8 ranked prospect in the 2027 class, Bjorklund was totally dominant on Sunday. Standing at 6'1, her sheer size and strength was overwhelming for most defenders. When combined with her mobility, quick feet, and athleticism, there wasn't much anyone could do to stop the Division 1 commit (University of North Dakota). Addison went to work in the paint, showing off her wide array of post moves. Using her physicality to her advantage, the Brainerd junior was also highly effective on the defensive end. Following an outstanding AAU season with the [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'], Bjorklund is gearing up for a monstrous junior year with the Warriors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910063"],"_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":1318554,"_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-68d25c3fb553e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A recent addition to the 2027 prospect rankings, Whitehill made a lasting impression on us at the PGH Expo. While her length and athleticism are what made Taylor stand out immediately, it was her understanding of the game and willingness to do whatever the team needed that had us hooked. The 5'11 guard is light on her feet and possesses a long, wiry frame that helps her excel on the defensive end. She plays with tons of energy and is a disruptive force on the perimeter. On the offensive end, Taylor showed off her basketball IQ, consistently making the right reads and spacing the floor well. A junior at Mounds View, Whitehill is poised for a big year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["472446"],"_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":1318552,"_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-68d25c3fb55c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the premier point guards in the 2026 class, Penn was highly impactful for Team 3. Throughout the competition the 5'7 guard's basketball IQ was front and center. She made great reads on the offensive end, threading passes to her teammates through narrow openings in the defense. Amaya also made great decisions in her shot selection, never passing up an open look. With a silky smooth and remarkably consistent rhythm to her shot, the [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] guard knocked down threes at a high rate as she so often does. Now a senior, Penn will serve as the head of the snake for St. Croix Lutheran for one final season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764222"],"_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-68d25c3fb5649"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bungum is one of the best kept secrets in the 2027 class. Standing at 5'9, she's not going to blow you away with her athleticism, but Olivia's game is incredibly polished. She handles the ball on a string, can knock down threes with her eyes closed, and is constantly threading the ball through tight seams in the defense. Olivia plays with tremendous energy on both ends of the floor, and is always ready to make an impact for her team. The United South Central junior has put up crazy numbers since the start of her varsity career, and is likely to do the same again this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
