Top Non-Senior Performers #SandraMeadowsClassic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have to split this one up because of the multiple players that grabbed my attention, not only in Texas but outside of it as well, and in case you missed it, please revisit my <strong>Seniors Sending Message<em><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/01/seniors-sending-messages-sandra-meadows-classic-pt-1/"> pt1 </a></mark></em></strong>and <strong><em><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/01/seniors-sending-messages-sandra-meadows-classic-pt-2/">pt2 </a></mark></em></strong>from the event. Also, note that most of these teams were seen only <strong>ONCE </strong>by me, here's the <strong><em><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color"><a href="http://sandrameadowsclassic.com/2023-tournament-results/">All-Tournament squad</a></mark></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510461"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Abii was a #D1Lock from day 1 when I caught her the first time, I guess in the 6th or 7th grade, yet with her abundance of offers on the table right now, I'm ready to drop something else I foresee, her playing in the W. She's that good  and watching her continuously add to her game and play all 5 positions quite well is part of my reasoning, yet another is she can change the direction of a game from either end. Mid to long-range, off the dribble, around the basket, she's hard to handle yet with the u0022I ain't doneu0022 mentality, I can't wait to see the finished product","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["307748"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Kemp has been showcasing her skills for what seems like forever and watching her in elementary school against older players sold me off the top. She did things instinctively, nothing fazed her as she reacted to tough situations so it was easy for me to acknowledge what was coming. Her demeanor on the court, especially under pressure is among the best in the state, all classes included and watching her patiently set the defender up to score off the dribble as well as dropping the jumper was very nice","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["516307"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Gipson was another very young player that showed me early she had the u0022ITu0022 factor and as she continued to grow, on and off the court, she's placed herself in a very good position because she has shown she can not only blend in whatever situation she's placed in to score in the flow, she understands how to take over games. She recognizes mismatches and takes advantage of them and when you factor in she's a big guard that can score multiple ways, that's impressive yet she also has very good court vision and defends  strongly","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Maeisha Washington","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Fayetteville","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Washington impressed me so much that I had to go back andu003ca href=u0022http://sandrameadowsclassic.com/bracket_2023.htmlu0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e look at her numbersu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e which is something I rarely do yet observing her frame and skillset in one game had me curious. Her hands and  footwork were solid, she gave me drop the step so let me drop u003cstrongu003e#THROWBACKu003c/strongu003e on those things alone but her running the floor on both ends, as well as rebounding on both ends was solid. She scored in double figures in every game yet using my crystal ball, I'm sure she fell into that u0022double-doubleu0022 waiting to happen group","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["465503"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Cox is a u0022long and athleticu0022 guard which is also the base and I was energized watching her using her athleticism on both ends of the court. Her on the ball pressure was solid, baseline to baseline as well as in the set, but she also outrebounded taller players, on both ends and scored around the basket, putbacks included. Her first step is nice and so is her body control as she attacked a finished strongly, after contact included. She created her shot and dropped it under pressure from mid to long range","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["465492"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Jordan was another athletic guard at the event that showed showed me she could apply pressure on both ends. She came away with steals using her hands but watching her playing the passing lane and handling the ball afterward to either score or dish was also nice. Her court vision in the set as well as in transition are pluses, so was her attacking the basket strongly from multiple angles and finishing at times off balance after the lick. She also dropped the jumper in the set and the stop and pop from deep","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659fd506009fe"} /-->
