Class of 2027 Shines at The Expo: Kentucky

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I highlight players from the Class of 2027 who stood out and left their mark at The Expo: Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["739686"],"_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-6aa8139ca4496"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cincinnati commit was a highlight waiting to happen and had the gym buzzing all day. Kennedy is super shifty with an elite handle and mid-range game, showing she can stop on a dime and pull up. Her finishing ability around the rim is high-level, as she found creative ways to score inside. Kennedy continues to show why she is the early favorite for Kentucky Miss Basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443365"],"_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-6aa8139ca44fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charisma is a Virginia transfer who will suit up for Jeffersontown for her senior season. She is a point guard who can really tote the rock and is a skilled playmaker who does a great job getting others involved. She can also attack the basket and connect on shots from the perimeter, giving her multiple ways to impact the game offensively. Charisma should be a big addition for the Chargers. <em>(Featured Image)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743739"],"_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-6aa8139ca4547"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was good seeing Jada at The Expo yesterday. She is savvy with the ball and has a knack for finding ways to score. She had a nice baseline drive and finish and showed that she can flat-out shoot the basketball. Jada also displayed active hands on defense, consistently looking to disrupt plays. Another thing that stood out was her communication, as she was vocal both on the floor and from the sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["902287"],"_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-6aa8139ca458e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abigail has good size and length and is a good shooter from downtown with a quick release. She also showed that she isn't afraid to get on the floor for loose balls, and I really liked the effort and toughness she brought throughout the day. From what I saw during summer ball and again at The Expo, she has a chance to put together a breakout senior campaign for DCA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1828168"],"_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-6aa8139ca45d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKinley's measurables immediately stood out to me, along with her ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She is a threat to score from the perimeter and also showed that she can be a rim protector with her shot-blocking ability. Be on the look-out for her at Lafayette this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
