<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eager and willing to learn sort of sums up this group, as a trio of players from this class stood out, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1669294"],"_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-696edeed71fbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cook showed me off the top that she could handle the ball while being pressured, so when you factor in that she's a <strong>"long and athletic"</strong> guard with a nice first step to get by the defender to attack and score off the dribble. Her court vision was solid; she also gave me the pull-up jumper, but her poise while being pressured tells me what's coming </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1669295"],"_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-696edeed7204c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brennan brought it on both ends early, and watching her create her shot in the set while being defended was nice, as her skills looked solid. She also showed she could get by the defender to score off the dribble using a deceptive first step to score or dish, and her defense in the set was another plus </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910840"],"_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-696edeed720ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oommen gave me a whole lot to write about last season at the <strong>Southwest Showcase<em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/09/2030-watch-list-shaping-up-after-southwest-showcase/"> see evaluation here </a></em></strong>so I was pleased to see her <strong>"on the court"</strong> progression in so many aspects of her game. She is stronger, and that is a plus for her off the dribble and after the lick, but seeing her using her athleticism on both ends and applying <strong>"on the ball"</strong> pressure in the set as well as baseline to baseline was also nice. She's also creating her shot and seeing the floor better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1307975"],"_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-696ef8440c1d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson grabbed my attention at an Individual Showcase last because of her skillset as well as doing things from yesteryear I don't enough of, which is why I drop the #THROWBACK hashtag<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/08/2029-new-to-me-shooters-elite-40-individual-showcase/"> see evaluation here</a></em></strong> Fast forward to now, she's still doing things from another era like following her shot but she's also finishing stronger after contact and range has gotten deeper. Throw in an improved "catch and shoot" and voila</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
