She has been very good at pushing the ball down the floor with her head up. If a certain look is not there, then she makes the smart play to hold onto it and set up the offense."</em></p>

She is at her best off of the ball, working in open space but she has a tight enough handle that she can also run her team's offensive system in certain situations. When she is over played she is not afraid to get into the teeth of the defense, always keeping her defenders on their toes in one way or another."</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Coming into this event I went on record of saying that Reagan Rosteck is the best shooter that I've seen so far out of the 2031 Class and following this showcase - I stand on that. This is a hooper that would have the greenest light in the world if I was coaching her. Obviously, being a good player is knowing that comes in moderation but if you have plays and the roster to get her open off screening action - it's over. The shot is going to go up and it's going to be good most of the time. No matter how far she is away from the bucket. She can also play off that ability with her dribbling and self awareness but it all starts with her picture perfect jumper."</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Independence High School will have high level Guard play for their respective Class level this Winter. One of those Guards, who has had a nice showing today is Kiersten TeBockhorst at the PG position. TeBockhorst stood out last Winter as someone to note throughout the state. She averaged respectable numbers and helped her team win some ball games - which is really the goal in the grand scheme of things when we take a step back. She showed more of this promise this afternoon with some talented individuals standing in her way. She didn't kill everyone with flash and flare but fundamental play. That's something we can all respect watching from afar."</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>"It would not shock me if Brooklyn Ruddy and SE Polk took some strides this Winter. They have a new coach, a new system, and they have a roster that is loaded with talent at a number of different positions - one of them being Ruddy as a 5'10 CG. Ruddy is that glue player. The Swiss-Army knife type. She can be placed in multiple situations and she can thrive doing whatever she is asked. Her natural height and athletic ability help that out a lot but I think we really need to highlight Ruddy's confidence. When she is putting in that work and within her flow-state, she is a tough individual to guard and a tough individual to score on - near and far from the hoop. That makes her journey really interesting. She has made a clear number of plays in front of us today that have opened up our eyes a little bit to what could be coming over the next few months."</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Ella Beason will be a prospect that the state of Iowa will learn much more about over the next 3-4 seasons. Beason competes out of the Quad Cities around of our state and she has proven up to this point that she is going to be a producer at whichever high school is lucky enough to have her. Right now, EB is a 5'9/5'10 SG with a lot of room to grow. Both literally and metaphorically. She is solid within her own abilities but she has the foundation to build that up to be something special. Somethings these events are about making moments your own and Ella Beason has done that time and time again throughout today so far."</em></p>

I keep a notebook for all the events I cover live in-person. This is an easier way so that I can track multiple players and multiple things, all at once.
In this article I write down some of my lives notes around the prospects below and what we thought in real time as this event was taking place.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers.
Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
