<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">As these players get closer to their senior year, collegiate potential becomes clearer, and that clarity starts to place players in the D1, D2, and D3 range. Our rankings reflect that, and we know who has gained offers, who has lost offers, and where and how strong college interest is coming from. Junior year is the biggest year for recruitment, and below are a couple of prospects who took a major leap in our rankings, as well as on college boards. </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["813581"],"_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-6abbdd1bb3925"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Williams is one of the fastest guards in this class, if not the fastest, with and without the ball. Her speed is a key reason why colleges won't allow the size to scare them away, and when you see how aggressive she is as a scorer, you can understand why. ON the defensive end, there's no letup on the aggression, and she can score 4-8 points just by pressuring the ball. A definite all-state type of talent, and a main reason HF is one of the best teams in the state. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900123"],"_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-6abbdd1bb3990"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>I can confidently say Dzik is truly one of the most talented players in this state, regardless of her class. She is smooth, she is shifty... and she has such a relaxed game that you may think there's no energy or effort... but I believe the confidence is just that high. The offers will come in... and the challenge is making sure her defensive side of the ball matches the effort... she has the perfect stature to be a strong two-way player. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["895171"],"_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-6abbdd1bb39dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Cooper seems to just add another level to her game each time I see her… and the biggest thing she's shown confidence in is just the pace and non-phased attitude she plays with. I've never seen her be overly emotional... and when you have a player who can score at all three levels and shows a high level of composure, that's a key trait college coaches look for. With a major change to her high school program, the key to success will be how Harmony plays, and I don't think anyone is counting her out. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["973153"],"_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-6abbdd1bb3a27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>One of the stronger post players in this class.

A knockdown shooter who can also make plays at a solid level.
