Good change of speed on the attack getting by the defender scoring with a layup or floater. Best move of the day was a reverse spin move finishing with a left-hand layup. Good vision up the floor advancing the ball on the breaks with a pass. Nice reads in a 2 man pick and roll game knocking down the jumper or hitting the roller for an easy score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough man to man defender in the open floor showing quick lateral footwork. The quick hands and quick feet created deflections and turnovers for easy buckets. Looking forward to following Calinn this upcoming season..</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1097683"],"_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-68da05435514e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Combo guard that can play the point position with a high basketball IQ and great poise with ball in hand. The outside shooting ability gives her the option to play off the ball as well. The flex ability gives a coach the option to have two players that can play point guard in at the same time. Strong step back moves off the dribble creates the space needed for a smooth step back jumper. Showed good vision in the full and half-court game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Transfer from Tecumseh where she earned All-Conference honors as a freshman returns to Dale where she played junior high ball. The addition gives Dale several players that can handle the ball in a up-tempo style</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["999392"],"_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-68da0543551c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Guard like skills that takes on the contact like a power forward. Meaning going to either with a strong finish or going to get fouled trying. Impressive was the reads on when to cut to the basket when the gap was open. Great hands on the catch scoring the easy basket. Showed nice vison hitting the cutters herself for the assist. Guard like skills in the open court with handles and vision up the court hitting the rim runner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What I really enjoyed watching about Kennedy game is she made things happen just playing the game. Cutting to the rim for layups, offensive rebound putback, and good moves off the dribble creating scoring opportunities. A player that makes an impact with no plays needing to be ran for her. Those are great signs of a player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["762035"],"_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-68da05435523a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Outstanding shooter that is in range walking in the door. High percentage from outside that can change the game with the 3-pointer or opening driving lanes because of the no help defense she demands. Strong driver that made good reads against weak closeouts getting to the rim. Strong rebounder on both ends and crafty finishes off the glass in paint allows her to play that small forward position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great option as a 4 guard as she understands the 2-man game. Strong reads on the pick/roll or pick/pop Team looking for a versatile guard that can play guard or small forward check her out. 2026 has received offers and interest from several colleges.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946140"],"_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-68da05435528d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When you watch Graycie play you are going to see a tough guard that gets the job done. Great outside shooter that moves off the ball finding the gaps to knock down the 3-pointer. The toughest shot is on the ball screen. You can go under the ball screen, not this shooter as she can knock down the over the on top of the screen. Good footwork on the drives giving her the ability to adjust around the help defense avoiding the block or drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As much as I can go on about her offense it is the defense side that comes to mind when I say tough. Always around the ball creating a turnover off deflection or steal. I am not sure if I have ever seen a guard box out in the paint like she does. Low and strong legs move out a much larger player. A 2028 name to remember as she will be a big part of the Lady Pioneers offense this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1104374"],"_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-68da0543552fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tall shooting guard that showed a complete skill set. The ability to shoot the 3-point, score off the ball with cuts, and off the dribble finishing with smooth footwork in the paint area. A shooter that needs no step or wasted movement when pulling up for the jumper. Meaning you take a step back she is rising for the shot. Nice understanding of moving off the ball to keep proper spacing on offense. Great vision on drives in reading the defense making sound decisions of layups or kick outs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lady Longhorns have height and scoring power to make a run for the Gold Ball this season. [player_tooltip player_id='1104374' first='Reagan' last='Langley'] remember the name.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266311"],"_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-68da054355351"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong physical power forward that works great in the 2-man game action. Big wide screener at the top of the key showing nice timing on the roll giving the opposing teams issues all day. Good hands on the roll that climb the latter to get several of those passes. Nice balance on the land before gathering herself for the strong finish. Best move is over the left shoulder that if she got to turn, she was going to score or get fouled.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good rebounder on both ends of the floor scoring on several offensive putbacks. I did like the speed at which she ran the floor for a physical forward, scoring on several rim runs. A 2027 that stands 6'1 and moves the way she does will gain attention of coaches this season. A good candidate for flying under the radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314524"],"_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-68da05435539a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Combo guard that played the point guard as well as the shooting guard spot. Good handles in the open floor against the full court pressure getting the ball down the floor and into the offense. Smooth shooting form on the kick for the 3-point shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good defender on the ball that applied pressure without getting beat off the dribble. 2027 that has transfer to powerhouse Okarche for the upcoming season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1175860"],"_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-68da054355409"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quick point guard with ball in hand that is looking to push the ball coast to coast. Nice pocket dribble with a change of speed gets the defender flat setting up the blow by move for the layup. Good reads on drives drawing help defense and kick out the open player. Smooth pull up jumper in transition at the elbow that drew all net. Shooting guard that moves without the ball looking to relocate to the open spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 earned honors last season as a sophomore. A guard to watch this season as she could be a ranking riser throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
