PGH NE Expo: Some Hoopers To See This Weekend In Nebraska

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunday morning we will have our PGH Nebraska Expo at the Lied Activity Center in Bellevue. This event will bring in over 25 prospects from across the state, all to compete under one roof for a few hours, showing off what they can really do to anyone who might be watching. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this piece, we highlight a few players that you should note before the event. Each of these players has shown their promise up until this point in their career's and they are ready to keep that rolling!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311871"],"_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-68d70c6bf1fcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1311871' first='Kallyn' last='Kassebaum'] is going to be someone out of the 2029 Class that everyone is going to learn about sooner than later throughout the state of Nebraska. Kassebaum is already standing at 5'11 and competing at the SG position. What separates this one from most others in her age-group is the fact that she understands situational concepts extremely well and she is very coordinated on both sides of the ball. Offensively, she can shoot from deep or shot [player_tooltip player_id='902895' first='fake' last=''] and get all the way to the bucket for a crafty finish. Defensively, her size and athletic ability allow her to switch onto multiple positions at this time. I'm excited to see what K.K. can bring to the table on Sunday. We will have some top prospects from the state in the building so I can't wait to see how she competes against those individuals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865481"],"_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-68d70c6bf203e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='865481' first='Gigi' last='Owens'] is coming to the NE EXPO this Sunday ready to work! We first saw Owens compete in general a few years ago at this same showcase and I'm sure she is more experienced as an overall hooper at this point in the game. Owens will be a big source for her Lincoln High team's production this Winter as a Junior. The stage is set for her to take over so all there is left is to go out and produce. Something she won't have an issues with in totality. This will be one of the biggest guards we have in the building at this event so let's see what she can do with that. We are talking about a natural guard at 6'0 so the possibilities are endless. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309144"],"_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-68d70c6bf208a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This weekend will be the first time that I will have a chance to see [player_tooltip player_id='1309144' first='Vayden' last='Epp'] compete live and from everything I've heard, I'm expecting some fire works! Epp was a consistent producer last year at Alma for her Freshman campaign at the Varsity level and it's looking like she will have a big role once again this Winter. Alma will bring in the #1 2029 in the state in PG - [player_tooltip player_id='1221233' first='Kinley' last='Ford'] but that's only going to help players like Epp. The guard play that this team will have returning is scary for their Class level. They will have so many producers, that most teams, if any, will be able to stay with them throughout the duration of an entire game and players like Epp's will come up big in multiple contests. Just wait and see. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882862"],"_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-68d70c6bf20d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='882862' first='Alivia' last='Kuhn'], one of the best 2028's in the entire state, knows what's up and knows what this weekend is about: Domination. Kuhn is coming off of an EYBL 15U National Title this past AAU season with her All Iowa Attack EYBL program and she is ready to show the state of Nebraska what she has learned in her time away. Kuhn's skilled. She can light up the nets offensively, while being a solid 1v1 defender against her position. There aren't many times that I've seen Kuhn really challenged up to this point in her career so this event should be interesting. There will be a few matchups, that I will set up, that I'll be intrigued to watch first hand. If she plays with her usually confidence, I'm sure she will continue to thrive! No matter who steps in front of her, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
