They have a ton of skill on the perimeter and on the inside for this year. There is just so much talent on this team all the way down the roster. You have a bunch of DI talent on the roster and they are going to make a lot of noise out on the Adidas Gauntlet this year. This group is going to be very fun to watch all year long and don't be surprised to see them end the summer with a lot of hardware. <strong>One to Watch</strong> One of the top players in the 2020 class is <strong>Halle Douglass</strong>. She is a long and lengthy wing with the ability to put the ball on the floor and score. Douglass can also shoot the ball really well from the perimeter which is very enticing for college coaches. Her versatility sets her apart, as well as her rebounding ability. Her last offer came just over two weeks ago from Wisconsin, so you can be sure the high majors will be flocking to see her. This should be a big year for Douglass on the circuit. <p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 14pt"><strong>Schedule</strong></span></p> <table class="tablepress" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1"><strong>DATE</strong></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1"><strong>EVENT</strong></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1"><strong>LOCATION</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">April 13-14</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Badger Jam</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Pleasant Prairie, WI</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">April 26-28</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Adidas Gauntlet</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Dallas, TX</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">May 11-12</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Adidas Gauntlet</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Romeoville, IL</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">May 17-19</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Take the Title</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Pleasant Prairie, WI</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">May 25-26</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">USJN Play 4 State</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Chicago, IL</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">July 5-8</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">TBD</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">TBD</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">July 10-12</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Adidas Gauntlet</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">July 21-22</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Brandon Clay Power 48</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Cartersville, GA</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">July 23-25</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Adidas Gauntlet</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">Atlanta, GA</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Schedule Breakdown</span></strong></p> This is a really nice schedule for this bunch. They are getting to travel a bit into areas where coaches wouldn't otherwise really see them too much. This will help out the mid major type players on this team a lot. All In Athletics is going to face some very talented teams at these sites and might come away with some tough losses, but they also have the potential to run the table. They are going to be tested and their players are going to get better with a schedule like this.
