Alannah is must-see tv. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["1860048"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a91e2ab2b4dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1860048' first='Hillary' last='Simo'] (2028) | C | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simo has sprung up the board and for good reason. This AAU season was her coming out party. She dominated post play, providing the Jags with reliable rebounding and an overt option downlow with good footwork. Hillary's ability to finish through contact really just puts her over the top. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["772667"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a91e2ab2b4fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='772667' first='Ayla' last='Keefe'] (2028) | SF/SG |</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's not a player in the class with more 2-way stability than Keefe. It's always refreshing to see a player as exceptionally talented as herself show the effort she does on every play. She's a workhorse that leaves her imprint on the game no matter what. Keefe has definitely proved to be 1 of 5 the best players in '28. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["975770"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a91e2ab2b51b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='975770' first='Addison' last='Brennan'] (2028) | C | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brennan's inside-out game can be hard to find an answer for and keeps her in the mix.

She's ranked 7th within the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["1041804"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a91e2ab2b576"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1041804' first='Jules' last='Stevenson'] (2028) | PG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stevenson made quite the splash this summer. She was doing more than just holding her own against some very popular nationally ranked names. Jules' 3-pt bombing and deceptive playmaking are unmissable traits. She's made a strong case for herself being in the top 10. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["1224138"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a91e2ab2b595"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224138' first='Abby' last='Broderick'] (2028) | SG/CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching Broderick's harmonious movements in attack mode, poise in traffic and confident finishing ability was more than impressive to get a glimpsed at through film viewed.

There's not a player in the class with more 2-way stability than Keefe. It's always refreshing to see a player as exceptionally talented as herself show the effort she does on every play. She's a workhorse that leaves her imprint on the game no matter what. Keefe has definitely proved to be 1 of 5 the best players in '28.

Reyes had to have made the jump in position when considering her body of work over the course of the entire year. Ella has had a big recruiting buzz around her this summer, regularly in the news for receiving offers. She's ranked 7th within the class.

Stevenson made quite the splash this summer. She was doing more than just holding her own against some very popular nationally ranked names. Jules' 3-pt bombing and deceptive playmaking are unmissable traits. She's made a strong case for herself being in the top 10.

Paradis has enough firepower not hold her own against anyone in the class. She's a versatile guard that will go to great lengths to put her team in the best position to win. Her 3-level playmaking and persistent defense keep her as a constant threat in games. Paradis has shown enough to be considered a top 10 talent.

There's just not too many with the high-level scoring capacity as Joo. She's a dynamic combo guard with superior 3-level scoring and she's got the green light to create. Her confidence will just continue to grow which should be more than concerning for her competition. Watch out for Carolyn this season' she's a bigtime player.
