<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first live period is upon us, and I expect some players to make a significant impact! Let's take a look at those players!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734941"],"_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-680a76ebe752a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaya is set to take the floor in Hamilton, Ohio this weekend for the first live period with her MBA team, and she's a name coaches need to keep on their radar. The athletic guard is a dynamic playmaker with tight handles, elite agility, and explosive leaping ability that allows her to regularly block shots - even against taller opponents. She's a true three-level scorer who can fill it up from deep, attack off the bounce, and finish through contact at the rim. On top of that, she rebounds extremely well from the guard spot, often outworking bigger players on the glass. Expect her to turn heads this spring and summer - her upside is undeniable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["933010"],"_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-680a76ebe7584"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jana will be heading to Spooky Nook in Pennsylvania for the first live period, where she'll be suiting up with the [program_tooltip program_id='1226083' first='West' last='Michigan Drive'] 17U squad - playing up two age groups and ready to prove she belongs. A versatile and impactful guard, Jana brings a unique blend of size, skill, and defensive presence. She uses her length to disrupt opponents and has the rare ability to defend all five positions effectively. Offensively, she scores with efficiency and ease, whether it's getting downhill in transition or creating in the half court. Her game continues to rise, and I believe college coaches will start taking notice soon - she's poised to make serious noise this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613943"],"_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-680a76ebe75c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alesia is headed to Spooky Nook in Pennsylvania for the first live period, and she's bringing her all-around game with her. A stat sheet stuffer every time she steps on the court, Alesia impacts the game in every facet - scoring, rebounding, playmaking, and defending. The skilled guard already holds multiple Division 1 and 2 offers, and she's in a great position to attract even more attention this spring and summer. She shoots it well from the perimeter and uses her length to make life difficult for opponents on the defensive end. With her versatility and consistency, she is a name coaches should be circling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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-680a76ebe7609"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper will be heading to Arizona with her Michigan Crossover squad for the first live period, and she's a post player with serious upside. She has a smooth touch around the basket and consistently cleans up the glass on both ends of the court. Harper knows how to establish deep position inside, using her body well to seal defenders and create easy scoring opportunities. With her feel for the game and presence in the paint, she's poised to have a breakout spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
