Knockdown shooter from behind the arc that doesn't take bad ones. Showed the ability to score on multiple levels. Lead guard showing multiple characteristics already to lead a team at the 4 year level. Will be a big piece for an Immanuel squad looking to make some noise in the 559! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262270"],"_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-69180df73a640"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tough, physical guard that attacks defenders hips and gets to the rim through contact. One of the top guards in the SD area, showed growth in her shooting consistency and basketball IQ over the summer. Great size/length and tenacity to guard multiple positions at the next level. Dynamic lead guard to keep an on in the class of 2028. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257255"],"_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-69180df73a6a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most dynamic guards in the state and potentially the nation. Smooth scorer that can get all the way to rim or stop and knock down open jumper if given space. Showed the ability her freshman year to go OFF for big games. Rhythm shooter that can really get going + has range well beyond the H.S line. Shifty with the ball, evaluates the defense well and finds ways to create in limited space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225141"],"_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-69180df73a705"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lorelei is a shifty guard that impressed every time I saw her play this summer. Tough strong guard that takes care of the ball, keeps it on a string and keeps defenders on her hip. Crafty around the rim, gets to the rim + has a efficient floater in traffic. Vocal leader that keeps her squad organized. Works hard on the ball defensively. Effort and intelligence makes up for size mismatches at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1191939"],"_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-69180df73a764"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Darby had a stock rising summer and is high on our watchlist to have a big time breakout sophomore season. Multi level scorer with a quick release and high level first step. Lead guard tendencies that has a knack for getting a bucket when her squad needs. Showed composure, pace and leadership against national competition this summer. Excited to see her growth and development this season at the HS level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
