She's stronger, faster, making better decisions on both ends and to be quite frank, that should scare the competition. Eva is one of the best players in her class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802977"],"_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-692ea9936aabc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='802977' first='Ava' last='Ayotte'] (2028) | 5'5 CG | MSC </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's been some time since mentioning Ava, but that shouldn't be an indictment on her ability. The combo guard is just as potent and this has showed up early in preseason play as well as to start the season. Ayotte was one of the key reasons to bringing home a bigtime early season victory. This was a highly anticipated RI NEPSAC matchup, so there were tons of eyes on this one. Ayotte is certainly a stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180534"],"_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-692ea9936ab24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1180534' first='Steph' last='Keel'] (2028) | 5'8 | SG | Rivers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Contrary to popular belief, Steph is more than just a shooter. Keel is an excellent overall athlete that uses her topnotch endurance to run laps around the competition plus she has fundamentally sound game.

She's one of the better 2-way guards in her class from Rhode Island. Her blazing speed, athleticism, ability to create angle advantages with the ball in her hand and pestering defense are all factors that play into why she'll be paramount this season. This isn't a player to overlook anymore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["278585"],"_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-6932c297f17f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='278585' first='Tiyara' last='Gonzalez'] (2027) | PG | Millbrook</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tiyara is featured yet again, but understandably so. Gonzalez is attending Millbrook now, quite a change of pace from Pawtucket. With a reclass and a situation where she'll be challenged to an even higher degree, it'll be interesting to see how Tiyara performs in NEPSAC. Tiyara has a chance to raise her stock significantly with prominent play coming from a lead guard position. If any schools on the next level are in need of a playmaking upbeat point guard, look no further. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
