North Tartan Summer Jam 2025: More Live Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This weekend I was in to evaluate at North Tartan Summer Jam 2025 in Minneapolis. This weekend was jam packed with action from the 12U level all the way to the 17U level, competing at multiple high school's around the city.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the day I took live-notes on prospects and really diving into what makes each of those players tick. In this article we go-over some of those notes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1238790' first='Adrienne' last='Sears'] - PG/CG - [program_tooltip program_id='712377' first='All' last='Iowa Attack'] 15U EYBL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Standout guard with good size. Moves body well for combination of speed, balance, and coordination. Not someone that you want to post but you don't mind her cutting to the bucket for a quick flash in the lane and then back out. Sears can run the offense or move off the ball as a combo 2 if needed at times. Someone that is going to be a household name in Iowa at the high school level before you know it this upcoming season at Dowling Catholic."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='777232' first='Melina' last='Snoozy'] - CG/SG/SF - Sanford Sport 17U UAA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Lights out shooter with great movement off of the ball when needed. Snoozy has natural size on most matchups, which enables her to go into the post and do some work when that matchup is in her favor. She is also so good at shooting the ball from any distance that she can move outside to spread the floor and knock stuff down or she can bring her opponent out and take her off the dribble. Saw that time and time again this weekend. Someone who is going to be a natural at the next level one day."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='880913' first='Kelli' last='Kalb'] - SG - [program_tooltip program_id='712377' first='All' last='Iowa Attack'] 15U EYBL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"When you need a bucket from deep, you get [player_tooltip player_id='880913' first='Kelli' last='Kalb'] open. Plain and simple. Girl is strapped with a flame thrower for an arm from distance and it doesn't take her much room to get it off. Her EYBL 15U team is the best in the Country for their age level. I truly believe that. ESPECIALLY considering that they have two 2028's competing on their 17U EYBL squad at this moment in time. Kalb already holds D1 interest from several programs across the Country and that interest is only going to get bigger with experience moving forward."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='656292' first='Zoe' last='Allen'] - PF - [program_tooltip program_id='712595' first='Kingdom' last='Hoops'] 17U</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Strength. Length. High Motor. Dedication. These are just some of the ways that I would describe [player_tooltip player_id='656292' first='Zoe' last='Allen'] of [program_tooltip program_id='712595' first='Kingdom' last='Hoops']. Allen is a PF with good back to the basket skill, she is a defensive threat as a shot blocker, and she moves in transition well for someone that is over 6'0. This is another one that has a lot of coaches asking questions this weekend in Minnesota. She checks off a lot of boxes with future potential in this sport, she just needs to find the right fit for the future and the rest will be history."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='758887' first='Clara' last='Welker'] - SF - NE Attack 17U UAA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Welker of NE Attack 17U did a thorough job of holding her own over the past few days at the Forward position. She played her game, rebounded on both ends, sought out her opportunities whenever she could offensively, and she was an impactful player on both sides of the floor in each contest that I had a chance to observe. Welker should continue to get more love this Summer before the Fall but we will just have to wait and see."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sinae Hill - SG/PG - Minnesota Stars 17U 3SSB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"I have never seen Hill up till this point but let me tell you, wow. When Hill steps back to shoot the ball, it looks professional. Her form is flawless and she moves are effortless. It's like she is competing with herself out on the hardwood cause nothing else seem's to speed her up or slow her down. I only had the chance to see Hill for a game but from my evaluation - this is a D1 prospect. A extremely talented hooper that seems to also be extremely mature for her grade level."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
