<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Being consistent is more than averaging high number stats in the box score. Consistency is carried over to impacting wins for your team and staying elite/competitive against competitive teams. Are you a constant threat for your opponents? Do you struggle when the game is on the line? Do you struggle when calls aren't going your way? What's the next way to be impactful if your offense isn't aligning with how you need it to be?</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Below are a couple of D1 (high major-low major) prospects who I believe have been consistent since the beginning of the season</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514036"],"_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-6792cbf7dc19d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When the next update drops, AG will be taking a major leap in our prospect rankings. Yes, the official D1 offer was a boost, but this kid has been one of the most reliable players in the state. The size is the only reason why D1 coaches aren't sending offers by the handful, because it is not her skill. Every game she is key in why Waubonsie comes out with a win. The points may not be eye-popping, but when you watch the film, this kid covers every aspect of the game. That is what a basketball player looks like.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["627163"],"_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-6792cbf7dc212"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dejesus has been on a mission to get her team downstate, and with the 2A class being up in the air due to some teams losing key players, this could be the year. Dalia has improved in a multitude of ways over the past couple of years, but her ability to show up when she's needed most is what stands out. Yes, she's had some huge scoring moments and games, but she does so much more that doesn't get talked about. She is a Division I player in my opinion, she just needs more visibility. All she needs is the right coach from the right program to see her at the right time.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514034"],"_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-6792cbf7dc264"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooks is known in the state as an elite knockdown shooter, but over the past couple of seasons, her defense has been another asset of hers to hang her cap on. Kenwood has been favored since the beginning of the season to make it downstate and possibly win, and if that happens, Danielle would be a key reason why. Offensively, you know what you're getting: she's a spacer, a playmaker, and a hot hand when needed. But if those things aren't working for her that game, you can bet she's still top-tier with her defense. She may not be the biggest, but her wingspan, quick feet, and awareness will cause problems for any guard in the state.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509631"],"_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-6792cbf7dc2a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The offers for Semith should begin rolling around if they haven't already. Her game is so consistent due to the fact that she's far from flashy. Everything's calculated, and even when it's off instincts, it looks smooth. She is aggressive from every angle, and on both sides of the ball, she remains impactful. This will be a big summer for her.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["457743"],"_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-6792cbf7dc2eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Only 4 losses on the season, and I bet Green took them to heart. This kid is just a constant reminder of what playing hard looks like every night, and that's from a scoring standpoint and on the boards. She is a tweener, so that could be why coaches are hesitant, but if the right mid-major or low-major D1 program is watching her at a tournament this summer, it wouldn't surprise me if she picked up a couple before her senior season kicked off. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
