Houston United Swisha Boot Camp-HS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This event just fell in my lap, so I was excited to go and see what the Rodriguez brothers, Mike and Matt, were putting together, so to watch teaching as well as some talented players I already knew, along with <strong>NEW FACES,</strong> well, I had a blast as the young ladies played against <strong>BOYS</strong>, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["977502"],"_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-68a263c291694"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanderford showed more aggressiveness on the defensive end, playing outside of the paint. Her lateral movement and timing to block shots looked good. She scored around the basket, rebounded on both ends, and saw the floor, yet she also handled the ball after rebounding and went "coast to coast" to score while being defended. Her midrange looked as she not only created her shot but also created spacing to get it off</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222346"],"_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-68a33848bda75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King elevated her game over the club season to achieve <strong>QUEEN </strong>status and be added to the PGH Top 100. She's also one of the MOST IMPROVED players I caught this year, so being "long and athletic" and standing at "the magic number" has its perks. Watching her go "coast to coast" after rebounding while being defended had me smiling, as did her powerful finishes around the basket, as well as off the dribble. Her midrange looked good, so did her defense and rebounding </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232319"],"_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-68a33848bdb5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greenwalt falls into that "plays taller than she is" category, so let me drop a double #THROWBACK on her because she's in that "never takes a play off" group as well. Her "on the court" progression this season was nice to see, so was her going AFTTA everything off the rim, no matter what the score was. Her defense was "smothering" on the ball outside and inside the paint. She scored off the dribble and dropped the short jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305574"],"_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-68a33848bdc1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hodges gave me a solid first look as she does a good job doing a variety of things, so let me start with her court vision in the set as well as off the dribble. She hit the boards and got the break going. She showed a deceptive first step to attack and finish. Her short jumper looked good, and so did her defense, but she kept the same intensity throughout the game and showed she could defend "on the ball"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305592"],"_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-68a33848bdcde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Esparza-Brooks falls into that #sizedontmatter group, and one more time, it doesn't matter when you can play. She's fearless on both ends, diving for loose balls as well as understanding positioning to outrebound taller players, yet her "on the ball" pressure needs to be mentioned as well. She also attacked and scored off the dribble and saw the floor across the board; the first step created some problems </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305580"],"_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-68a33848bdd9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Goodwin made my Tip Sheet during the club season,<strong> <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/saturday-jv-division-standouts-shooting4dacure/">see evaluation here, </a></em></strong>yet she gave me even more, starting with her explosiveness off the dribble to score. Her body control after contact looked good, she created her shot under pressure, and her ball handling while being defended was solid. She dropped the pull-up jumper, with a hand in her face, she played solid "on the ball" defense, and she dove on the floor for loose balls #THROWBACK</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305595"],"_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-68a33848bde85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Goodie grabbed my attention as soon as she walked in, wearing the Purple Rain tee shirt, but her "not wanting to cause any sorrow or pain" flew right out the window when the games started, as she was running with the big girl group. She gets "IT" and seeing her read the floor and play the passing lane, against boys, had me smiling. She rebounded, did a good job scoring off the dribble, as well as from mid to long-range, but her "on the ball" pressure also looked good</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
