June Jamboree: Day 1 Opening Day Eye Catchers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I became involved in girls' basketball and complaining to national evaluators, one of the things I used to emphasize to those same national evaluators, many suck up to today who refused to give Texas players their props, is <strong>"talent is everywhere, if you know what you're looking at" </strong>so maybe they do have a smart pill, well probably not sionce the emergence of new <strong>"evaluators" </strong>using <strong>AI</strong> to repicate. Still, I haven't changed, and I never will, so I'm always looking for those <strong>"stars of tomorrow.</strong>" Here are some others. Due to rosters not being turned in, some may not pop up, because when I pull up, I need to know who is who ahead of time. Here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1871920"],"_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-6a37cbd625fc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Curry is an athletic guard who does a good job using her athleticism on both ends of the court.
