MOS' surge to the top has been documented, but with the type of dynamic player she's turning into, the picture must be clearly painted.

Barros already has already been a winner early on in her hs career. That experience and her feel for the game is unmatched. She has natural ability, a high IQ plus the defensive makeup to turn into a detrimental wing stopper. Oh, and her 3-pt shooting prowess has yet to be mentioned. There's no question Elliana will come out making a major impact for her Brimmer squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217992"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa204acf2e39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicollete Hayes (2030) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hayes made the trailblazing move of attending a new build school in MAI.

She's got great counter skills as a ballhandler and showcases a deep bag of finishes no matter the caliber of defender. It'll be interesting to see just what type of impact she'll have as the game speeds up on the next level.
