In the championship game, she won MVP honors. Brynn made it clear that she was successful due to her teammates having faith in her to come through to finish plays off. Noel isn't one with a ton of fluff to her game, she was pinpointing the weaknesses of the defense all game long and flatly exploiting them. With her arrival this season, shell be one to keep a close watch on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968012"],"_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-6a03b76662702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='968012' first='Maeve' last='Early'] (2027) | Wing | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mave has got it rolling right now and it's her staple versatility that's separating her. IBelieve features her heavily, but she doesn't force things either. Early uses her opportunities to capitalized based off her strengths and she provides teammates with a stable outlet option consistently. Even with all the talent in these spring tournaments, Early has been a gem that's certainly worthy of mention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["772667"],"_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-6a03b76662797"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='772667' first='Ayla' last='Keefe'] (2028) | Wing | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Davidson verbal commit has looked like she's in tiptop form in recent play. She's been the ultimate weapon that's becoming more efficient each time tuning in to watch her. Ayla's ability to decipher coverages that're thrown out there and her timely adjustments to them need to be accounted for. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ayla climb positions in the upcoming ranks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1045923"],"_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-6a03b76662829"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1045923' first='Koharu' last='Tanaka'] (2028) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tanaka is back featured again for her impressive play at the Gym Rat Challenge. Her upbeat, speedy play was quite effective on both ends, but particularly on defense, is where she made her mark. Koharu identified where to apply pressure and was a legitimate difference maker doing so. Offensive players just weren't able to get fully comfortable with her pestering efforts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1162596"],"_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-6a03b766628b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1162596' first='Ava' last='Vitti'] (2027) | Wing | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vitti looked really good at the Gym Rat Challenge. Ava's play finishing ability and just general balance aided in the Jag's flawless overall effectiveness. She was functioning well in tight spaces, being a great connective piece plus Vitti showed impressive off-ball movement. This is someone to keep an eye on within the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["961189"],"_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-6a03b76662949"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='961189' first='Jocelyn' last='Gesner'] (2027) | Forward | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gesner has been dominating in ways that're certainly going to position her up the board in the upcoming ranks. Jocelyn's strong fundamentals, power and mobility are the backbone of her success, but it's her cerebral play that's been making her stand out when watching. She should get a bit more credit for how she's able to create in tough spots plus the commanding 2-way influence in the paint. Jocelyn has been a treat to watch lately. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["922619"],"_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-6a0bbcffe5af9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='922619' first='Delaney' last='Bonneau'] (2027) | Guard | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bonneau has been a regular here as of late, but her latest performance makes her an easy add to the conversation, Delaney led BCRI with 21 pts in a 60-40 bigtime win over Books &amp; Ball S40. The notable play isn't going to stop here though; this is someone who'll have even more statelier games throughout the summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["352995"],"_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-6a0bbcffe5bac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='352995' first='Alexa' last='Huckaby'] (2027) | Wing | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huckaby is looking more comfortable than ever. Alexa been one of the more impressive upperclassmen around, especially with her measurables. Her game screams next level and she's been relishing in these high-stake matchups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
