Out of State 26’s and 27’s That Have Caught My Eye

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So much of my job is done researching players and teams through the internet. As I've been doing that for TN, occasionally kids will catch my eyes from out of state. Here are a few:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

An elite 2027 guard that checks all the boxes.  She's got the whole bag of separation creation—elite 1u003csupu003estu003c/supu003e step but can also play ultra slow.  Great at change speeds and playing with some bounce to her game.  Extremely tight handle.  Doesn't get sped up, and dictates the defense's speed.  Floor general that takes pride in getting others involved, but can score when asked/is needed.  Averaged over 20 points a game in their 1u003csupu003estu003c/supu003e live period, including a 19 point quarter with 5 threes.  When she gets hot, she's too dynamic to stop.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnWatch her film!  Has various footwork to get into her 3 ball depending on how she's being guarded.  Elite for a

had a huge spring picking up offers from Kentucky, Louisiville, Tennessee, and UCLA among others.  The 6'2 guard is unique in her skill set as a power guard mixed with a body type and athleticism that lets her get to her spots whenever she wants.  She can be a power finisher straight through the defender's chest.  Or can stop on a dime, change directions, and use her elite athleticism to create easy buckets.  Incredibly high level defender as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["671764"],"_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":"Averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks as a 6'2 wing.  She's got old school strength, and aggression attacking the rim—and his happy to play bully ball as a finisher.  Also, though, really unique in her athleticism and use various changes in direction to show off her nuanced finishing package.  Just a terror when she gets to the rim.  Plays with the same motor on defense, where she's a wrecking crew.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["773677"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Offensive MVP of Nike EYBL Session 1 averaging 20 points, 8 assits, and 5 rebounds playing for Cal Storm Team Taurasi (CA).  She's the whole bag….one of the few players that can dominate the ball while both

freshman guard put together a terrific season for Thompson HS.  The freshman guard not only led them as their floor general, but did it in a way that impacted winning.  She led her county with 4.5 assists per game.  She also averaged 10.5 points, while shooting 34% from three, and 74% from the FT line.  She has everything that college coaches want in their PG—the ability to break down a
