Sunday Players: Who got my attention at Border War (Arkansas)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first live period in front of college coaches tipped off this weekend at the Border War in Arkansas, hosted by AAO Club. It was a great opportunity to see a lot of players—some for the first time, and others for the first time since the high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several young ladies really stood out and caught my attention, along with drawing interest from a number of coaches in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220158"],"_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-69dc40fc19f20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Teagan Snodgras is a special player. She brings a strong skill set, great size, and a competitive attitude that makes her exciting to watch. At 5'9”, she has the versatility to play positions 1 through 4, and honestly, she could likely hold her own at the 5 as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She has a nice outside shot to complement a smooth mid-range game. Teagan plays well off the ball, consistently relocating keeping proper spacing. She makes good reads on cuts and fills lanes effectively. On top of that, she communicates on both ends of the floor, showing clear leadership qualities and a strong understanding of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Be sure to catch her with Kansas United squad during this upcoming live period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":1825456,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Genavieve Aguilar","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Flour Bluff HS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Southwest Select CC 17u","_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-69dc40fc19fe8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Geneavieve— this was my first time seeing her play, and now I understand why her coach reached out and asked me to check her out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She has a strong frame for a combo guard and plays with confidence. She has a smooth outside shot and a very nice pull-up jumper, especially when coming off the line. Her pull-up is in rhythm and has a great touch on it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the defensive end, she isn't afraid to mix it up—crashing the boards and picking up offensive rebounds for extra possessions. She also has active hands in the press, creating turnovers that lead to easy points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's definitely a player that should draw more offers during the next Live Period .</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1118020"],"_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-69dc40fc1a044"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia really got hot in the third quarter and took control of the game during a key three-minute stretch. She grabbed my attention by taking over the scoring load for her squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She has a nice three-point shot, knocking down several in a row, but it was her mid-range game that really stood out. Olivia showed a strong pull-up jumper and a soft floater when attacking gaps in the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I also love that she embraces contact on drives—at one point finishing an old-fashioned three-point play. She's a very smooth ball handler with the ability to play either the 1 or 2, due to her ball handling and court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Definitely a 2028 prospect to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Elaina Lavelle","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bentonville West","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='712392' first='Banshees' last='']","_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-69dc40fc1a0d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An incoming freshman who played like an already seasoned varsity player in Sunday's game. She's a small forward who impacts the game in multiple ways—scoring off jumpers, attacking the basket on drives, and consistently cleaning up the offensive glass with put-backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She's an aggressive player who doesn't mind mixing it up in the paint if it means gaining an extra possession for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She has great size for the position and runs the floor like a guard, doing an excellent job filling the lanes in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Definitely an incoming freshman to put a check by and follow closely over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910307"],"_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-69dc40fc1a128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='910307' first='Ava' last='Slagle'] is a versatile small forward with the strength to battle inside with the bigs, but also the lateral quickness to defend out beyond the 20-foot mark. She showed her ability to stretch the floor by knocking down a couple of threes this weekend making the defense respect heroutside shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She also displayed strong passing skills from the high post, making reads that would fit well in an high post Princeton type offense. Ava handled the ball well, showing she can secure a rebound and push the break herself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's an aggressive rebounder on both ends, especially on the offensive glass where she converted multiple put-backs.
