<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#Watching the latter part of the school season, including playoffs, gave me a good look either live or <strong>LIVESTREAM </strong>at several players, and getting out in the crowd during the club season is always great for me, so here's part 2 as I dive into the<strong> Top 35</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["889018"],"_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-69ecac3c027b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crudup continues to show her name rhymes with<strong> "SHUT UP" </strong>as the naysayers either disappear or eat their words. Look, evaluating her early was easy because she's a<strong> "long and athletic"</strong> guard who was just shy of <strong>"the magic number" </strong>but when you find players at showcases arriving <strong>30 to 45</strong> minutes early to get some shots in, that in itself should tell you something, but her mid to long-range has gotten even better<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/nylah-crudup/"> see evaluations here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891067"],"_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-69ecac3c0281f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berger keeps turning corners and seeing her move more fluidly inside the paint to score around the basket as well as defend, which is one thing, but watching her guard her man on the outside speaks volumes. She has a solid skillset and is overpowering defenders, yet her rebounding and timing have also gotten better <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/abby-berger/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["925205"],"_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-69ecac3c0286a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson went on a torrid streak during the latter part of the season, and apparently, she's not letting up. Her confidence to<strong> "take the shot" </strong>under pressure is what caught my eye early, so the <strong>"poise under pressure" </strong>is definitely a problem for defenders <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jewels-johnson/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874351"],"_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-69ecac3c028b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bouie continues to climb the charts after a blistering high school season, as she filled the stat sheet until the pen ran out of ink, yet not only did she continue putting up numbers to start the club season, including EYBL Session 1, her ability to blow past defenders to score or confuse them with the step back adds a nice touch <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/carinne-bouie/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876716"],"_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-69ecac3c028f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lausser is one of the top shooters in the area, and watching her come back from a nagging hip injury has been great. Her determination stands out, even during the early club season tryouts when we talked about it, yet she creates her shot with ease, and her release is so fluid that it's only a matter of time before she scorches the charts<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/meghan-lausser/"> see evaluations here</a></em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["980456"],"_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-69ecac3c0293d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilmore grabbed my attention early, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/sydney-gilmore/">see evaluations here, </a></em></strong>and one thing I love is<strong> "on the court progression" </strong>so watching her grow each season and seeing what she did at <strong>Clash Of The Clubs, </strong>showing she could take over games in crunch time, had me SMH on what she continues to become </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050612"],"_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-69ecac3c02981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whitmore, <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">also known as<strong> "Tipper,"</strong> gave me several<strong> tips </strong>when I caught her early, as <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/akira-whitmore/" target="_blank"><em><strong>seen in these evaluations.
