She'll be a sure added name in next rankings update. Blair looks like they could have a budding star on their hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1811798"],"_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-6a93edc347e1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1811798' first='Francesca' last='Hajer'] (2028) | SG/SF | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hajer can be a versatile option with good size and feel for the game. It's Francesca's shot selection along with her accuracy from long-range that make her a reliable threat defenses must account for. A hot Hajer will create a serious hazard. She'll be a main feature for NCD this season and a player that could have a big junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["979232"],"_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-6a93edc347e74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='979232' first='Zaida' last='Aponte'] (2028) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aponte is someone that's hard to get an exact gauge on. There's times Zaida gets going quickly and looks like the best player on the floor, then there're times when she can kind of fade away. However, her dynamic ability as a cg is so easily identifiable. Zaida's fun playstyle injects energy in her team with every made bucket or defensive turnover caused. She just picked up an offer from Hood College recently too. Aponte is a matchup horror for a lot of the RI scene. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317878"],"_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-6a93edc347ebd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1317878' first='Lovena' last='Stanley'] (2028) | SG/CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lovena leaves it out there on the floor. She has an impactful defensive presence that can be plugged in different areas plus those traits are used to get out in transition on the other side of the ball.

She's a player that has the ultimate belief in herself and will have plenty of opportunity as a newcomer to Smithfield. If she's focused, efficient and helping make others around her better in route to winning, Conte's stock has to go up. She'll be one to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1005132"],"_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-6a93edc347f49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1005132' first='Madeleine' last='Marques'] (2028) | PG/SG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It could be argued Marques could be a top 100 player in the class. Her development has been pleasing to watch, especially with how much of a utilitarian threat she is now. In the past, she flashed 3&amp;D wing traits, but Madeleine is so much more. Marques' profile becomes even more intriguing when realizing she can provide timely post protection, take players out of their rhythm on the perimeter, plus provide ideal help-side defense. Madeleine also looks even more comfortable in complementary scoring roles. This is a certain watch-lister in '28.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["975779"],"_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-6a93edc347f89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='975779' first='Amelia' last='Faienza'] (2028) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's clear Amelia is a talented player and maybe evaluations in the past haven't really done her enough justice. Amelia is a tough-nosed guard that has takeover ability in a game. However, it's the consistency for New Britain's Faienza where the questions start to arise. The '28 guard can take it to the next level by stepping into a larger leadership role and dominating for sustained periods.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1380578"],"_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-6a94c6f3971c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1380578' first='Zoey' last='Epperson'] (2028) | PG/SG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Epperson is a 2-way player that gives full effort no matter what her role is. She's not the most polished scorer, but it's her energy and constant hustle that can make her an x-factor. Zoey's leadership along with contagious attitude will help propel Gardiner this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
