<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">December is the month of tournaments, especially XMAS ones. Whether coaches are tuned in, in person, or via stream.

In my opinion, she's at her best when she's in the fast break, you get to see her athleticism, her vision, and the aggression. A major leap is coming in our prospect rankings.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1320444"],"_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-692b739fe66fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Kassing has a lot in her skill set that can change the entire outcome of a game, but the vision, to me, is at the top. At her size, she can make plays with ease, especially in the open court. She can see above the defense as well as ahead, and when a possession is there for her to score, she can do so at all levels. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861183"],"_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-692b739fe6927"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Black has been off to a hot start for her junior year.. and one thing that has been consistent for her is being a headache on the boards for her matchup. Outside of her being able to score from the arc to the rim, she makes herself an even harder guard by a player who never stands still. Could definitely see some offers being presented to her before the season is over. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221362"],"_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-692b739fe677b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>One of those players who can impact the game in a multitude of ways. Ingram isn't afraid to put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. There's a high amount of confidence in her handles, and she can get by most guards with a minimal amount of moves. She can be a problem on the boards on both sides and can extend the floor when it's needed. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743619"],"_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-692b739fe67ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Mays has the skillset to either be your focal point or she can adjust her game to be a strong complementary piece. Either way, she can impact the game offensively from all spots. She's just that aggressive on the defensive too. Adaptable, fast, and highly aware.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["852625"],"_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-692b739fe688c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Neumann has been receiving offers recently, and with her college ready frame and versatile skillset.. It's not hard to see why. She was a key player in why her team went to the state finals some years ago, which highlights her leadership and ability to be the focal point. However, the defense on both the perimeter and in the paint is what should truly stand out to coaches.</em> <em>A two way threat.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

December is the month of tournaments, especially XMAS ones. Whether coaches are tuned in, in person, or via stream. They have a list of players who they're looking for.. and below are a couple more names from the 2027 class for D1-D3 coaches to possibly add to their list.
