8th Graders Making an Impact: Part One

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players haven't even made it to a high school classroom yet but they're making a name for themselves on the basketball court already and are trending towards being big time players over the course of their varsity careers. Here's a look at some 2029 prospects who are already making an impact at the varsity level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050025"],"_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-676a00db070fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deener is a top name in the class and has already attended Big Blue Madness at Kentucky and should be on the radar for regional D1 schools. Averaging just shy of 20 points per game and shooting 53-50-81 so far this season, Kennedy is a big time scorer who has an extremely bright future and could project as a top 100 or better talent nationally, long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050509"],"_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-676a00db07170"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charlotte is an elite talent as well in the 2029 class. McCurry is averaging a very impressive 22 points and 8 rebounds per game in her 8th grade season. She's got the potential to be an elite level recruit long term as she already has great size at the wing guard spot. If she can improve her three point shooting, Charlotte is going to be hard to stop in the 5th region for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1060383"],"_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-676a00db071b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden has been an impact player in the 9th region for a while now and looks like she could be one of the very best players in America in the 2029 class. Standing 6'6 now, McClain is averaging just shy of a double-double and could be scoring more if she ironed out her free throw shooting. Expect McClain to live at the free throw line as her career continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898547"],"_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-676a00db071fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another player averaging nearly a double-double, Everett is putting up 10 points and 8 rebounds per game as a "big guard". Rhys is putting up an impressive 43% shooting from three to go with 46% shooting overall. As she gets more comfortable finishing through contact, expect Everett to put up some impressive statistical nights in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
