LBI April Showers–Notable Post Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The AAU game tends to favor guards, but that didn't stop these forwards from making a difference for their teams in the paint. Here are several post prospects who grabbed my attention at the LBI April Showers tournament on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751146"],"_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-67ffb829e539d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper was effective with her ball touches for [program_tooltip program_id='712672' first='Michigan' last='Crossover EYBL'] 16U at LBI April Showers on Saturday. She worked hard to seal defenders in the paint and used her hands to give teammates a passing target. Harper finished well around the basket and was an active rebounder all day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807309"],"_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-67ffb829e53fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leigha was a force in the post for [program_tooltip program_id='1226083' first='West' last='Michigan Drive'] 16U-P24 at LBI April Showers on Saturday. She bullied her way to the front of the rim and scored multiple offensive rebound putbacks. She grabbed three straight offensive boards in one trip before finishing with a layup. Leigha drove hard to the rack from the high post to score a strong and-one layup through contact and ignited the team with her loud, vocal energy on the bench. Leigha's gritty, physical, and energetic presence makes her an exciting prospect to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734949"],"_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-67ffb829e5446"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aubree averaged a double-double for Parma Western as a junior and kept that momentum rolling with an impressive Saturday for [program_tooltip program_id='714462' first='Michigan' last='Premier'] 2026-P24 at LBI April Showers. She flexed her muscles in the paint, securing two offensive rebounds and finishing both with emphatic and-one put-backs. Aubree showed her mobility by closing out hard on the perimeter to block a shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["614648"],"_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-67ffb829e549f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamaria was a shot-blocking machine for Michigan Crossover 17U EYCL at LBI April Showers on Saturday. Her quick feet, height, and athleticism made scoring at the basket a challenge for driving guards. Kamaria will be a major contributor on both ends this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["614647"],"_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-67ffb829e54ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Every coach has a "type". Marianna is the type of forward prospect I'd want on my team. She is a relentless rebounder and had several offensive boards for Michigan Crossover 17U EYBL at LBI April Showers on Saturday. Her strength and hustle resulted in multiple offensive rebound putbacks. Marianna knocked down free throws, finished off two feet, and was a vocal leader. It was great to see her back on the court--she's the perfect forward to complement Crossover's talented guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
