<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How does one define success? Could it be through MVPs? Championships? Accomplishing this goal or that goal? There are many ways one can categorize success, and rightfully so. Beyond the trophies and accolades, when a young woman achieves the ultimate goal of furthering her education using basketball as a tool, I tip my hat because they have accomplished a dream of theirs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To reach such a feat, it takes hard work, skill, maturation in many facets of the game, and in life. You have to sacrifice, miss out, and prioritize the importance of things. I don't care what level you make it; being a college athlete is a blessing and one that can help propel you in life for many years. Now, it's not the end-all all be-all, but for the sake of this article, kids who achieve this milestone deserve flowers for being laser-focused.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the 2026 class, we have young ladies who have eclipsed this opportunity. They have taken hold of this platform and have risen to new heights. What I love about this 2026 class is that we have had some young ladies who have kept their heads down and just grinded. They may not have been in your top echelon of girls in this class, but they have stayed the course, and with that, you have seen their stocks rise. From high school freshman to collegiate prospect, these young ladies have risen through the ranks and made a name for themselves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few young ladies from the 2026 class whose stocks have risen to become collegiate athletes who will play women's basketball at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1230635"],"_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-68f643daead41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Given the opportunity to thrive and compete, this young lady will be going to the University of Minnesota next fall. Blessed with size and skill, she commands the paint and wreaks havoc on the interior. Great footwork as she posts up down low, she can finish over either shoulder as the ball trickles through the net. She is big time on the defensive end, grabbing boards and blocking shots. She will look to help TKA add to their trophy case this upcoming season. A Solid kid who is going to have a great year.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1327088"],"_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-68f643daeada3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year moves to Tennessee with the hopes of increasing her stock and gaining even more traction in her recruitment. She is a tough competitor who is a scrappy defender. One who creates turnover chances with her impressive defensive acumen, her defense becomes offense instantly as she utilizes her quick hands and feet to create turnover chances. She is a multi-level scoring threat who can utilize her tight handles to get to favorable spots. Look for her to elevate this CHS program and increase her stock even more as she competes on these Tennessee hardwoods.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1122399"],"_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-68f643daeadf6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This sharpshooter will look to fill it up and help elevate the Lady Wildcats program. A MTSU commit, this young lady is a tough competitor on both ends of the floor. Someone who can shoot lights out, but is also a tough defender. Her personality can galvanize others to elevate their game as well. She is a fearless leader who leads by example and leaves everything out there on the floor. Look for her to be a shining light and lead this program to the top of their district and beyond.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513232"],"_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-68f643daeae45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">UAB is getting a steal in this young lady, as she is a fearless leader who competes on both ends of the floor. She is a kid who just plays. Athletic, laser-focused, she gets after it on every possession, leaving everything she has on the floor. A selfless ballplayer, she is going to run a ballclub effectively and efficiently. No matter if she needs to score a bucket or make a timely assist, she is going to go out and execute. She's a hungry kid who strives to be the best. Look for her to help the GCA (Knoxville) program go deep in state contention this upcoming season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636394"],"_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-68f643daeae93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No ones stock as risen more than Samiyah's this past year. She has worked hard, stayed the course, and trusted those around her as she has put in the work. From competing in the state tournament to bumping against some of the country's best, she has showcased her skill and work ethic on both ends of the floor. Her hard work has paid off as she has committed to play at Belmont next fall. BU will be getting someone who will be bringing toughness in the interior, someone who can score, defend, and be an anchor down low. Before she heads to the Music City, you better believe she is going to do all she can to help the Lady Panthers of Bartlett lift the gold ball this upcoming season. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
