2028 Rankings Update: Under-the-Radar Talent in the Post

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 class has plenty of size in the frontcourt! Featured in this article are individuals who are underrated and overlooked. These ladies bring a bevy of qualities to the table: rim protection, scoring, versatility, size, strength, athleticism, rebounding, etc. They have physical tools you simply cannot teach. They have potential you ultimately cannot dismiss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924152"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa99a176fe21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Led the state in blocks per game as a sophomore... over 8 blocks per game! Ten games with double digit blocks! The timing and instincts stand out defensively. She has more offensive versatility than you'd expect at her size. Confident ball handling ability and solid footwork. Strong, nimble big who can score the ball in and around the post with either hand. Very few juniors have her size, defensive production, and offensive versatility. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1924152' first='Matalie' last='Floyd']</strong> sould be on the radar of Division I programs IMMEDIATELY!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262200"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaba10bc4c95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recent offers this month include San Jose State and UC Santa Barbara. Raw talent with an extremely high ceiling. <strong>Saundra</strong> played well on the P24 circuit. Strong, powerful finisher inside. Excellent offensive rebounder. Displays solid footwork with her back-to-the-basket. Owns the paint like she means it on both ends. When she blocks a shot, it is emphatic! <strong>Saundra</strong> sees the floor well and makes timely kick-outs to open shooters on the perimeter.

She funs the floor and protects the rim. Willing, gifted passer out of the post. She alters way more shots than she gets credit for in the box score. This makes <strong>Jolie</strong> particularly valuable in fast-paced up-and-down games. The speed and stamina make her a mismatch at her position. <strong>Jolie</strong> is willing to do the dirty work whatever that may be: creating 2nd chance opportunities for teammates, diving on the floor for loose balls, etc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262180"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaba10bc4c47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Londyn</strong> is one of the most skilled forwards in the 2028 class. Crafty scorer who understands angles and positioning. Finishes well in traffic. Stretches the floor. Does the little things that impact winning. <strong>Londyn</strong> can take it coast-to-coast. She has the ability to make shots off-the-dribble. The versatile scoring arsenal and all-around game make her a high-value commodity in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262212"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaba10bc4bdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Taylor</strong> can score, pass, and protect the rim. She averaged nearly 4 blocks as a sophomore to go along with 3 steals per game! The defensive potential is off-the-charts. Offensively, <strong>Taylor</strong> has reliable soft hands in the paint. Good decision-maker with the ball in her hands. <strong>Taylor </strong>plays light on her feet. You can run the offense through her because of her finishing ability and court vision. All-league 1st-team in the Pioneer Valley League as a sophomore!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1895854"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa9587b50c97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The daughter of NBA legend, Zach Randolph, has been a model of consistency throughout her prep career. Double-double machine! <strong>Ma'Ziya</strong> plays with a nice mix of aggression and finesse. She can put the ball on the floor and make something happen. Slippery driver on her way to the basket. Excels in transition. Has the ball handling ability and strength to overpower defenders on her way to the rim. Defensively, <strong>Ma'Ziya </strong>plays the passing lane to perfection.

Her best basketball is still ahead of her. <strong>Marissa</strong> finished #2 in rebounds nationally for Nike EYBL 16U! She can put the ball on the floor from time-to-time. Uses the body bump to gain leverage and positioning inside. Finishes well in traffic. Clean shooting mechanics. Effective turnaround jumper in the post. Her ability to stretch the floor makes her a legitimate inside-out threat. <strong>Marissa</strong> will be one of the glue players for a Mater Dei squad who is favored to win it all this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
