<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They don't have next, they have now! Chloe, Aaliyah, Legend, Valentina, and Lara have the potential to star as freshmen. They will be household names sooner rather than later, no doubt about it!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Chloe Jenkins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ontario Christian ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Hoop Code","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dd9770d3599"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Chloe</strong> is one of the top 2029 slashers in the entire country. Exceptional ball handling for her size and youth. Solid court vision with a knack for finding cutters on the drive-and-dish. Virtually unstoppable attacking the basket because of her length, finesse, and shooting prowess. Uses her body well to initiate contact and draw fouls in the paint. Finishes through contact and is a lock for at least a couple of and-1s in every game. Reliable floater in the lane. Creates for herself and others out of the pick and roll. <strong>Chloe Jenkins</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='773677' first='Kaleena' last='Smith']</strong> will be one of the more memorable backcourts in recent memory. Expect Ontario Christian to be title favorites once again with the additional firepower of this talented freshman.</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":"","_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-68d566b6959de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Aaliyah</strong> was flawless at the John Lucas Top 160 last month. Elite rim protector, runs the floor, exceptional footwork, and a nice shooting touch. Arizona was her 1st official D1 offer back in June, but that list will grow exponentially as the year goes on. <strong>Aaliyah</strong> is light on her feet and has a high motor. Has shown an ability to take it coast-to-coast from time to time. She will take and make the open jumper extending to the 3pt line, but <strong>Aaliyah</strong> does not fall in love with the jumper. She will put her head down and dominate inside on the offensive end. Has the strength to overpower interior defenders. Has legit post moves to compliment her all-around game. She is a walking mismatch! <strong>Aaliyah</strong> has one of the highest ceilings in the post regardless of class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278401"],"_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-68e798674c58d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elite athlete, natural-born scorer, and hard-nose defender. <strong>Legend</strong> is everything you are looking for in a confident, young guard. Miles ahead of her competition physically and mentally. She can drop 40 or pick a defense apart as she flirts with a triple double. Certain traits will allow for a smooth transition to the high school game. Many 1st years struggle with confidence and ball security, but <strong>Legend</strong> is different. I expect her to handle ball pressure well and make things happen with the ball in her hands. Her ability to finish in traffic over taller defenders is next level She has proven to be lethal from the perimeter as a shotmaker. <strong>Legend</strong> has plenty of skill, but she also has a relentless, contagious, aggressive mentality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278415"],"_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-68e793c5d428c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perhaps the most versatile prospect in the entire freshman class, <strong>Valentina</strong> can legitimately play 4 positions. Defensive anchor, knockdown shooter, point forward, the list goes on. Her help defense is game-changing. She will chase you down and block you from behind or stretch out to the 3pt line. <strong>Valentina</strong> runs the floor well and is a reliable finisher in transition. She is the definition of a position-less player. Her basketball IQ stands out given her youth. <strong>Valentina</strong> has so much potential on both ends of the floor and should be on your radar IMMEDIATELY!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lara Desai","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Marlborough","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Sports Academy Swish","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e7afcd505dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skilled, crafty scorer who impressed at the Girls National Preview last month in Ladera Ranch, CA. <strong>Lara</strong> plays with poise and a low center of gravity. Nightmare cover 1v1. Elite slasher who can get hot on the perimeter. Finishes comfortably with either hand and has a nice euro in the lane. <strong>Lara</strong> is capable of breaking defenders down off-the-dribble. Yet and still, she plays team basketball and rarely over-dribbles. Quick, compact release on her jumper. Her feel for the game is special. <strong>Lara</strong> plays the game off instinct and knows how to get to her spots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
