<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">These prospects are entering their sophomore year of high school and their second year of HS AAU. Some have already started to stand out in their first year, while others are still finding their skills but continue to make an impression. We have added at least 25 new names to our rankings, bringing the total to 75 prospects. Below are some of the top prospects who could make a big leap over the next couple of years</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217233"],"_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-6a25f89a563bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Skelton can be a top 20 prospect in this class very soon, and the foundation is already in place to get there. The length and frame are the first thing that jumps out at you, and though the skill set is still growing and aligning with that frame, there are many moments where she's showing that type of potential she has, with and without the ball. Defensively, she will always have a big impact. Paint blanket due to her length and energy, and can deal with perimeter players because of her recovery steps and speed. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874663"],"_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-6a25f89a56465"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Roe's length has been a major factor in her being a standout player in this class. Most of the impact comes from below the free throw line and from her ability to finish around or over the top of contact. She has a solid touch around the rim and doesn't need much to get comfortable when she receives the ball. On the defensive end, that's where the versatility kicks in. She has enough athleticism and focus to deal with players on the wing, and the length comes into play again when she's guarding the paint. She will block, alter, and force players to hesitate. As she continues to sharpen her overall game and the confidence and ability to score beyond the mid-range, she will truly turn more heads. Time is on her side.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257515"],"_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-6a25f89a562ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Noble has made the move to Evanston, which is another program thats known for having and developing some of the top players in the state. With not playing much this past high school season, there could be a chip on her shoulder, which usually increases the aggression in how someone might attack the game. As of now, Layla's ability to score from all over is why she remains a strong and notable prospect. However, she is nowhere near the type of player that she could be. Her shooting is smooth, the ball handling is tight, and she is very composed for her age. Strong upside. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224675"],"_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-6a25f89a56411"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>The stature Williams brings has an immediate impact on the defensive side of the ball from the free-throw line down. She is good for a minimum of 1-2 blocks per game. She isn't afraid to be physical when it's needed and has enough in the tank to battle for a couple of seconds while fighting for a rebound. She is tough and not one to let things happen easily in the paint. On the other end is where the skill work will need to grow, and at this age, she has nothing but time. Simplicity on offense will really take her game to another level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226258"],"_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-6a25f89a56364"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>There is just natural talent when it comes to Eva, and when you mix in the length, she is truly a player to keep on your radar. Offensively, there is not much she can't do, and she plays the game with so much pace and smoothness that you're willing to look past some of the mistakes. She has a soft touch around the rim, finishes with creativity without overdoing it, can knock down the long range, and can put the ball on the floor and get where she needs to go. Defensively, there is still room to grow, but her length helps her recover and make up ground when players get a step on her. As her consistency continues to match her talent level, there's no doubt she has the upside to be a top five player in this class before her senior year. High level potential.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
