<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing about the game of basketball is that you must consistently work on your game. From dribbling the ball while sitting in a chair to getting shots up in the yard or a local recreation center, one must always spend time visualizing their success as they travel on this journey. This path in basketball is like stepping on stones; as you move forward, you never know where the stones will lead you. You have to trust the process, embrace the grind, and just seize every single opportunity that presents itself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The thing I love about this 2027 class is that there are plenty of lunchpail-type players who just compete. It's not about notoriety for them; they just excel at their role and star in it. Many have mastered what has been asked of them. In turn, they have not only become weapons for their club, but also kids, and coaches have taken a keen interest in them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few hidden gems within the 2027 class. Some you may have already heard of. If not, don't worry, you will know their names pretty soon if you haven't already.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821870"],"_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-69f36b6f24548"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A kid who is just solid on both ends of the floor. She isn't flashy, but she is very sneaky in her movements. She can set you up off the dribble and counter to get to where she wants to go quickly. She isn't a three-point bomber, but one who can sit along the arc and knock them down, but if you try to run her off the line, she will just blow by you and finish at the rim. She possesses an all-around game that makes her impactful on both ends of the floor. A selfless ballplayer, she has excellent court vision and quick decision-making. She can distribute to open teammates or score herself. Just a kid who possesses many great qualities that have made her a commodity that must always be on the floor. She's committed to Harding University, but you better believe other schools will try to pry her away. Talented kid who is going to be a major factor for Lipscomb next season.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["981285"],"_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-69f36b6f245c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Most people overlook this young lady, but she is one you must account for. She's smooth with everything she does. She's consistent in all phases of the game. No matter if she is on the defensive side of the ball or the offensive side, her being on the court makes a big difference. She can score it from all 3 levels, dime up her teammates, lock up on defense, and contribute on the boards. When it's all said and done, she always seems to have an impressive stat line that makes you have to recount how she pulled it off. She's a solid floor general and a true difference maker.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1816525"],"_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-69f36b6f2462b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One who jumped on the scene and was a major factor in Pope's success this past season. She scored from all over the place, becoming a focal point on the other team's scouting report. She always seemed to find ways to score. Playing with such confidence, she kept taking her game to another level, no matter who the opponent was. This summer is going to be an important one. Her game will not only grow, but she will be looked upon as a solid option for schools at the next level.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039546"],"_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-69f36b6f246b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is just a difference maker. A workhorse who plays with a motor, she just finds ways to put the ball in the bottom of the net. 3s, mid-ranges, powering through around the blocks, this kid has been a lynchpin for her school. Plays with speed and power, she isn't just an offensive threat, but a defensive threat as well. One who contributes to all phases of the game. She's tough, talented, and a nice asset for a school at the next level.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822294"],"_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-69f36b6f24713"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The glue girl.

Whatever is asked of her, she goes above and beyond and gets the job done. She can score from multiple levels, rebound the basketball, defend, get steals, set solid screens, you name it, she does it all and does them all well. This kid is talented, and she truly is a hidden gem. Her time is coming when coaches will see the value she brings to a team.
