Harlem plays bigger than her height and has added muscle to her frame. She's athletic, agile, and a prolific playmaker for Groves. Harlem is putting up massive numbers in the Grinnell system this season and is on pace to shatter the school's scoring records.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807918"],"_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-695c41f39fb45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seeing Dy'Nasti matched up against a comparable forward prospect earlier in the season provided the perfect environment to see her compete against a D1 post. Dy'Nasti demonstrated the physical strength, fundamentals, and two-way effort necessary to play against that level of interior talent. Her 6-3 frame, aggressiveness in the paint, athleticism, and improvement on the offensive end earned a top-five ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["749646"],"_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-695c41f39fb98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jozelynn has the physical qualities and advanced fundamental skills necessary to be an outstanding guard at the next level. She dropped a new career high of 40 points against Hemlock with eight three-pointers and was one of the best players in the gym at GVSU Elite Camp. Since bursting onto the scene as a freshman, Jozelynn has continued to blossom as a prospect. She's the image of a prototypical college guard ready to be a force in the GLIAC and an impact player for Ferris State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807281"],"_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-695c41f39fbe7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Layla has the length, athleticism, ball-handling skill, confidence from three-point range, and commitment on the defensive end necessary to play college basketball at a high level. After missing her sophomore season, Layla is operating at full strength, and she separated herself during games at the LBI MItten Opening. Layla is an impact player in Belleville's lineup and an elite guard in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866194"],"_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-695c41f39fc35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aaliyah spent her sophomore season in North Carolina, and we're very excited to have her back in Michigan. She's shifty and a dynamic playmaker worthy of a high ranking. Aaliyah is equally effective at driving by defenders to score around the basket and pulling up to bury perimeter shots. Her quick feet on defense, vision, handles, toughness, and polished offensive skills make her an elite point guard prospect in the class. She's having a huge season for Wayne Memorial.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751166"],"_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-695c41f39fc80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanyiah took home MVP honors at the PGH Expo. Her athleticism, strength, speed, explosive drives, tough finishing, relentless defense, court vision, effective ball handling, and all-around dominance make it clear that she's an elite guard prospect. Sanyiah excels as the lead guard and has good off-the-ball instincts. She's off to a great Junior season at Detroit Country Day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751146"],"_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-695c41f39fcda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper has developed into a top 20 post prospect. Her height, polished offensive skills/hands/footwork around the basket, physical strength, high motor, and defensive presence at the Airport Showcase made it evident that Harper projects to be a high-level college forward. She received offers from Air Force, Hope, and Wayne State during the summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928063"],"_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-695c41f39fd29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Karis only plays at one speed. Pedal to the metal. Her maximum effort and high-flying acrobatics on both ends are exciting to watch. Karis scores at all three levels, is a determined defender, and one of the best rebounding guards in the state. She's a pure scorer with outstanding footwork and body control. Karis uses every inch of the glass and is a phenomenal addition to GVSU's recruiting class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
