<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another @695Hoops event put the spotlight on high school seniors who remain unsigned but clearly have the tools to compete at the college level. The showcase delivered three competitive games filled with talent and urgency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mid-Major Ready:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both ladies listed have the build and skill to play at the mid-major level and should be highly considered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882605"],"_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-69c19331a815d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKenzie put her full offensive package on display, confidently extending her range beyond the college three-point line while keeping the offense organized. She showed strong command as a lead guard, consistently breaking down defenders off the dribble and creating opportunities for others with timely kick-outs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her ability to read the defense and make in-game adjustments stood out, as she picked her spots effectively without forcing the action. With her combination of size, skill set, and composure, McKenzie has the tools to contribute at the next level and fits the mold of a guard capable of running a college offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691974"],"_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-69c19331a81f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeriah is an ideal fit for a program seeking a skilled ball handler with the versatility to play and defend positions 1–4. She brings a physical presence on the defensive end, embracing tough assignments and consistently doing the dirty work that impacts winning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Offensively, she is far from one-dimensional. Jeriah can handle, attack downhill, and make plays within the flow of the offense, giving her the ability to contribute in multiple ways. Her versatility on both ends makes her a valuable piece for any college program looking to add toughness and flexibility to its roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong D-2 Potential:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691978"],"_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-69c19331a8256"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adey is the type of point guard who can fill the stat sheet in a hurry. She is a true multi-level scorer with strong instincts, and she plays with confidence when the game opens up. In transition she is especially effective, using her height and speed to get downhill, finish at the rim, or rise into a smooth stop-and-pop jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her feel for the pace of the game allows her to pick the right moments to attack, which makes her difficult to defend over a full game. With her ability to score, create pressure in the open court, and impact the game in multiple areas, Adey has a style that fits well at the CIAA level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">JUCO Impressive:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kaleah Anderson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Glen Burnie","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c19331a8319"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaleah was quite impressive Saturday, consistently establishing deep position with strong, effective seals to receive entry passes. Once she caught the ball, she showcased polished footwork in the post, using a variety of spin moves to create clean scoring opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her presence on the block didn't go unnoticed. During the game, a JUCO representative expressed strong interest, noting her potential and willingness to further discuss her future. With her ability to control the paint and score with her back to the basket, Kaleah is positioning herself as a valuable prospect at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
