That's why in this Update she comes in the Top 25 at #16 for her 2027 Class. James skill on offensive is undeniable. She can score the rock at all offensive levels both off the catch or dribble. She is someone that isn't afraid to get into her defender physically, always trying to catch an advantage when she can in one way or another while trying to attack the bucket. Defensively, her size matters. She can switch with her length onto a couple different positions. In college, you can only play in places in which you can defend your own position. If James can adapt to that at the next level, she will be just fine moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["736457"],"_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-685c0e591f444"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have seen [player_tooltip player_id='736457' first='Olivia' last='Brown'] a few times this Spring with her ETG Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB 16U team. Brown, a natural SG out of Bridgeport, Nebraska is someone that most know by now. Her team's for high school ball go about 22-2 each season and she is always putting up impactful numbers throughout the duration of a Winter. She has taken this momentum from Winter ball and brought it with her to the travel scene, making intelligent and heads up plays on both sides of the court on a consistent basis these past few months. In her off-time, Brown is still working relentlessly on her craft. If she stays motivated, she should have a shot to compete on the college floor one day soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865313"],"_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-685c0e591f48b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As of most recent, [player_tooltip player_id='865313' first='Ansley' last='Elofson'] of Fort Calhoun High School took a visit to D2 - Wayne State to see what's up. Wayne State is just coming off of hiring a new coach out of Iowa with an impressive track record and he is recruiting the state of Iowa/Nebraska heavily to start off. Something you love to see. As for Elofson is the #2 rated PF out of this 2027 Class, coming into this Summer right over 6'0. Elofson has shown dedicated, a high motor, and some respectable skill for years now. If she continues with this, she will put up some noteworthy numbers her last two season of Varsity ball before taking her talents to college to continue on her basketball journey. Something that is more than do-able at this moment in time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899083"],"_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-685c0e591f4d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='899083' first='Emersyn' last='Wells'] could put together a memorable two more seasons at the Varsity level if she plays her cards right. Wells is a talented Forward at 5'11, that happens to move really well for her size + age. Wells is skilled near the bucket with the ability to finish over smaller defenders or she can make some sort of counter move in the paint and that will usually lead to some sort of open look. Another huge benefit that Wells will have is that she is playing with an [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] PG in Kaytee Irons. Irons will find Wells in the post and if she runs the floor. She just needs to work hard to get to her spots and the rest is history. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865335"],"_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-685c0e591f512"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We just touched on [player_tooltip player_id='865335' first='Kamryn' last='Scott'] the past few days because of her play this Spring. We won't dive too much into her play-style but if you wanted to really sum up her game - Scott is a pass-first PG, with natural instincts and a lot of skill on the hardwood. She usually possesses the ball for the majority of the game in her team's offense but she also can pass and move away from things to open up the floor. When she gets it back in those situations, it's go time. She understands to stay aggressive and calculated. This is one of my favorite PG's out of the state of Nebraska, no matter age or Class level. Scott plays the game the right way, keeps it simple, and produces. Really all you can ask for from an outside perspective. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
