Players on the rise

Here we look at players who are on the rise this AAU season, and this past high school season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="263932" first="Rylee" last="Barrieault"], Mass Elite, Class 2023, position PG</strong> Rylee was named Zero Gravity player of the game, in a game during one day Easter weekend tournament. Rylee is a true point guard, and is a facilitator, and pass first. Riley does a great job running the offense, and works really well with her teammates, and sets them up well to score. She moves the ball very well, and makes players better around her. The best part of her game though is her defense. Rylee is a excellent on ball defender, and a brick wall for people to get by her. Rylee plays super hard on defense. Rylee has a great defensive stance, and plays great on ball pressure without fouling. Any time you need a stop you look to Rylee. Rylee almost always guard the teams best opposing player. If you like an unselfish, lockdown defender Rylee is the player you should watch. <strong>Stephanie Hart, Mass Elite, ASRHS, Class of 2021, HT 5’7, Position F</strong> Stephanie is a committed player to Fitchburg State. Stephanie is a versatile player, who can score in the post, and spread the floor and shoot. Stephanie is a strong player, and is a tough stop attacking the basket. Stephanie is not afraid to put her body on the line, as I have seen her often take charges before. Stephanie is not the fastest player, but uses her strength to her advantage. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="263807" first="Danielle" last="Nicosia"], Evo, Tyngsboro, Postion PF, Class 2022</strong> The power forward has gained a lot of stock, and made it know she is a high level player. Danielle has great post moves, and smooth finishing skills on both sides.  Danielle has great ball fakes, and a nice drop step. She is big and strong. She also rebounds the ball very well. Danielle is becoming a high level player, who can play at a high level. <strong>Abagail Martin, MT Elite Ducks, class 2022, HT 5'10, position G/F</strong> The combo guard and forward is a very solid all around player. Abagail makes a lot of high level tough finished through contact. Abagail can stretch the floor and shoot, and also makes good passes. Abagail moves with out the ball very well, and always happens to find the open holes in the defenses. Abagail is an aggressive, and bring a lot of energy on defense. Abagail can guard one through 5 on defense. I think Abagail is for sure a college level prospect. <strong>Emma Goff, 5'10, MT Ducks Elite, class 2023, position C</strong> Emma is a true rim protector. Emma's presence is always felt in the paint. Emma is a very good shot blocker.  Emma makes it very hard to shoot, and score over her. Not only does Emma just block shots, but Emma always alters shots.  This past High school season Emma had a game with 17 rebounds and 5 blocks. Emma is a beast on the boards. Emma boxes out very hard, and always finds good position to rebound.  Emma is a hard worker. True Centers are not found as often in todays basketball. You have a true center right here in Emma Goff. Any college program will be happy to have her on their team.
