Class of 2027: Recruitments to Follow

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2027 has numerous players who have earned full-ride athletic scholarships at the next level. The 27s will also have many more kids earn scholarships and play at the next level who haven't figured out where their next step will be in college. Today, we'll look at a few players I'm intrigued by for various reasons and what they could bring to a program at the next level, regardless of where they play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914983"],"_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-6a493bb75931e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There isn't much Thompson can't do on either end of the floor. Offensively, she handles the ball, knocks down a few perimeter jumpers, attacks the basket, crashes the offensive, plays in the post, and creates out of the post. Defensively, she's versatile, rebounds, switches, and competes. She's a talented kid who can make any situation she's in, regardless of who the four players she's on the floor with are, make sense. Thompson is a unique talent, and I'm curious to see where she ends up at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769179"],"_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-6a493bb759395"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few players have the intangibles and athletic tools Tagliapietra does. The Grafton native is an excellent sprinter for the Black Hawks track team, and her speed is noticeable on the floor. She excels in transition and can create for others. She's developed a well-rounded offensive game, and has become a leader for her team who everyone on that roster respects, and that's a rare thing to see anywhere.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751255"],"_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-6a493bb7593f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Port Washington wing passes the eye test with ease. She's a lengthy 6'0 wing who will play the two or three at the next level, and can shoot the snot out of the ball. Her ability to space the floor at her size can help her get on the floor early. I also think she's capable of improving defensively because of her length. There is a lot to like about what she brings to the floor, and she could thrive at the next level depending on where she lands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1045911"],"_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-6a493bb75944a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Medford forward is a player who I'll be curious to see how coaches utilize her talents at the next level. Baumgartner is a 6-0 or 6-1 kid with plenty of length and can space the floor in any offense she plays in at the next level. Depending on where she ends up, she could be a wing or a stretch five, and she could thrive in either role depending on how her program wants to play. She's a toolsy player who can be molded by any program that gets her in the front door.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
