<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final weekend of club season has come and gone, and the Class of 2029 gave plenty of reasons to be excited about what's ahead. Throughout the summer, they continued to develop their skill sets, compete against high talent, and build confidence. This first group of players closed out July with strong performances and will be names to follow as they prepare for sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1058465"],"_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-6a6d4690249e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burrell impacted the game on both ends of the floor with her energy, athleticism, and ability to make winning plays. She ran the floor well in transition, finished at the rim for an and-one, knocked down threes off the catch and the dribble, and created opportunities for teammates with smart passes, including a well-timed bounce pass to a cutter. Her motor, defense, and versatile offensive skill set make her a player to watch as she enters her sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741652"],"_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-6a6d469024a65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Norman showcased the leadership of a true floor general, directing her teammates while reading the defense and creating scoring opportunities. She attacked the basket, finished with contact, pushed in transition, and found open teammates for easy baskets and kickout threes. She also competed on the defensive end, applying ball pressure, crashing the boards against bigger opponents, and turning steals into transition points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252282"],"_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-6a6d469024ac6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shupe made her biggest impact on defense, where her instincts, anticipation, and effort created offense for her team. She protected the rim with a strong block, jumped passing lanes for steals, forced multiple turnovers with aggressive on-ball pressure, and quickly turned those defensive plays into transition scoring opportunities. Her athleticism and IQ allow her to change the momentum of a game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693436"],"_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-6a6d469024b20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis knows how to create and capitalize on scoring opportunities, especially on the perimeter. She moved well without the ball to find open space, knocked down multiple threes from different spots on the floor, and mixed in a mid-range jumper while also crashing weakside for a putback. She understands how to relocate, stay shot-ready, and make defenses lose track of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226845"],"_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-6a6d469024b79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dallas is a force in the paint with her strength, footwork, and understanding of post play. She sealed defenders, finished through contact, collected offensive rebounds for putbacks, and made smart decisions out of double teams. She plays with great patience and physicality around the basket, using her body positioning to create scoring opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
