First Looks-Lasting Impressions from Freshman Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One more time, thank you, parents and players, for attending the<strong> PGH Freshman Showcase</strong>. I hear through the grapevine: <strong>idiots and haters</strong> criticizing my rankings, yet if I don't see you, I'm not running to see what someone else says, because as you continue your journey, you will find not everyone is like me- in this case, meaning not having an agenda</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1923307"],"_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-6ab3e64c673ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is one of those<strong> #THROWBACK </strong>players who is not at <strong>"the magic number"</strong> but plays as if she's above it. She's long and athletic, which is the base; she gave me<strong> "hands and footwork"</strong> to score. She also attacked and finished off the dribble, but her going<strong> AFTA</strong>, everything off the rim, and staying in the hunt,<strong> BATTLING, </strong>was nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1920225"],"_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-6ab3e64c67476"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chuma punched her ticket after an impressive performance and falls into my <strong>#talentiseverywhere</strong>,&nbsp;providing you know what you're looking at. Her first step was among the best at the event, as was her body control after contact, but she gave me the <strong>HEZ,</strong> to attack and finish as well. She has UPS and showed the ability to rebound or elevate on her jumper; her defense was solid, and she played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1845062"],"_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-6ab3e64c6750c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Both of my<strong> PGH colleagues </strong>caught her at the event;<strong> Nicole</strong> even wrote her a few months ago <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kamille-bell/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong> but she's an athletic guard who does a good job using her athleticism on both ends. Her<strong> "on the ball"</strong> pressure was solid; this included going after loose balls, and she played the passing lane. She attacked the basket strongly off the dribble to score</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1191852"],"_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-6ab3e64c675a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whitehurst falls into tha<strong>t #sizedontmatter</strong> group, and when you factor in that she's heady and understands how to control the tempo, that's always a plus. She has good court vision, threaded the needle in traffic, and has shown she can<strong> "catch and shoot"</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1798412"],"_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-6ab3e64c67634"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hudson blew me away as she blew by defenders in the set as well as in transition. Her first step just made things happen because she's a long and athletic guard with nice body control, which helped her finish acrobatically at times. She saw the floor well across the board, even dove on the floor for loose balls, and her<strong> "on the ball"</strong> pressure was smothering at times</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
