Asanya rebounded well, defended well, and handled the ball well. Asanya played outside on the wing and down on the block. She finished with power and sometimes with finesse. Asanya also passed the ball well and set up her three point shooters nicely.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["906109"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":907906,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='906109' first='Herva' last='Brutus'] is a name to remember. She was active all over the court and left an impression with everything she did on the floor. She looked like the power forward who average 14.6 points and 13.4 rebounds last season. Her size, speed, and production caught the attention of every coach in the room. At CDI, Brutus rebounded well and scored on the inside when her number was called. She ran the floor well and knew how to put the ball in the basket in the transition game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["864101"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":907910,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='864101' first='Jayda' last='Parker'] was impressive on Day 3 of the tournament. Parker was outright dominant, scoring every time she touched the ball. A lot of things were revealed during her Sunday's performance. Parker can score with either hand. She gets great position in the post, and she plays with high ball IQ. She knew how to move and present herself open for the guard to get her the ball. Parker also rebounded well and initiated the break. She also ran the floor well and scored in the transition game. The sky is the limit for Parker.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["515102"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":907943,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='515102' first='Madilyn' last='Ray'] played well at the CDI tournament. She stepped out several times and connected on the three point shot, but in the paint is her domain. Ray was nice in the pick and roll game where she was unstoppable after the catch at the rim. She was also hard to stop at the freethrow area. Her midrange was potent all weekend long. Defensively, Ray is a walking shot blocker. She does a good job of controlling the paint. Ray does it all well and is one of the top bigs in the 2026 class.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["428053"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":907918,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='428053' first='Ronnice' last='Berry'] was impressive this weekend and really showed versatility with a capital V. Berry played in post earlier this AAU season and made her presence felt. This week, Berry played some in the post, but she looked very comfortable on the wing. The versatility really showed when Berry was handling point guard duties and shooting the three. Her performance over the weekend was eye opening, versatile, and “Berry-Berry” good.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["722919"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":907924,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='722919' first='Julianna' last='Baskin'] was impressive over the weekend at the Candice Dupree Invitational. She brings so much energy and effort to the court and can produce down low or at the top of the key. Baskin is a force on the boards on both ends of the court. She is a walking double-double.
