Jocelyn is a physically imposing player who has passing abilities to throw the long ball that you simply don't see often. She knocks down outside shots and can effectively play inside and out. You will want to put Jocelyn on  your schedule for the Prep Girls Hoops Live.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='904972' first='Eva' last='Gerard']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Houghton ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"5 Star Basketball","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='904972' first='Eva' last='Gerard']u003c/strongu003e is a lengthy W/PF Northern Michigan prospect who I am very excited to watch for the first time in person at Prep Girls Hoops Live this weekend. She scores inside, blocks shots, and extends her range outside to knock down triples.

Her shifty handles, quickness downhill, footwork, and outside range make her an exciting guard to watch. Christina should be one of the most dominant guards at the Prep Girls Hoops Live and is going to be one you want to see.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["612997"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='612997' first='Diavian' last='Robinson'] performed extremely well at the Cagers Invitational a few weeks ago and made a big time impression with her athleticism, defensive toughness, and downhill game.

Ashli has the downhill quickness and ball handling ability to score against wimpy defenders, but has the range to knock down 3's. She will breakout for full court transition buckets and rebound at will. Ashli is going to be a top prospect at the event.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":906639,"_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1002340' first='Ava' last='Ruster']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Mason","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='714446' first='Capitol' last='City Express']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1002340' first='Ava' last='Ruster'] u003c/strongu003ecame through for [program_tooltip program_id='714446' first='Capitol' last='City Express'] in the crucial moments at Cagers Invitational. She is a CG who works hard on both sides of the floor and has excellent footwork to score on fast drives through the paint. Ava is an excellent passer with both hands and changes the height of her dribbles based on the pressure she faces. Ava has really stepped up as a primary ball handler for CCE with Reece out. She is very polite in conversation and I am excited to see her again in action at the Prep Girls Hoops Live; coaches will love her endless energy on both ends.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66476af049574"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">At the Buzzer</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evan Bell</strong>&nbsp;is currently a scout for Prep Girls Hoops and Director of Prepare 2 Win Basketball.
