<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Continuing rankings coverage with a look at prospects who have the size, athleticism or both to make them impact players in the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751190"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1edd22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Eastern Oklahoma product has flashed big time upside in a couple viewings. She has shown quality athleticism and outstanding motor, which makes her a menace on the defensive end. Those traits also carry over into the way she attacks the glass. The foundation is already there for Brown to be a D1 level prospect, and her potential will rise as she continues to improve her offensive abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751200"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1edd81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Size can't be taught and even when watching Sims on stream she jumps off the screen because of it. She has a good understanding of defensive principles with verticality and positioning. Even taking a charge in the one full game watched with her. Her long arms also make her tough to keep off the offensive glass as well. Playing with quality teammates and national competition ensure that Sims' basketball education will continue to thrive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881182"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1eddc9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A super productive freshman campaign for Broken Bow has established Woolsey as one of the premier low post scorers in the class. With a physical playing style, she's now receiving valuable reps of development as part of a loaded 15U team for [program_tooltip program_id='712993' first='Team' last='Trae Young'] on the 3SSB Circuit. Expect Woolsey to put up video game like numbers this winter in the growing hot bed of southeastern Oklahoma basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910307"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1ede0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A crafty low post scorer, who can also stretch the defense with a quality three point shot. Slagle is a bet on production and knowing to play. That's evident in the patience and feel she has around the rim. She's calm in traffic, which allows her to rack up the trips to the free throw line. And her silky three point touch is also apparent at the charity stripe. With an impressive grassroots spring under her belt, the Maiden should take her production to new heights at Berryhill as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751175"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1ede84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Radinovic picked up freshman of year honors for her district in Class 6A. She's a very fluid mover for her height, which helps on the offensive glass and when running the floor. Around the rim, she's no stranger to contact and is already a quality finisher with a battler mentality. With her long arms, she has the potential to play even bigger than her height on the defensive end. Especially with the mobility she possesses. Her shooting touch looks like it extends out to 8-10 feet, make her an even tougher force to stop as her game continues to develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751199"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1edec9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big time athlete, who will be a priority to watch going forward as was only seen once during the past high school season. The one viewing did prove she has the traits to be a force on the defensive end, with flashes of offensive upside. Comes across as a current inside to midrange threat, with the ability to mature into a full blown perimeter weapon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751192"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66637bb1edf0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big time upside on the defensive side of the ball with Manning's combination of height, athletic ability and shot blocking potential. She has quality timing as a shot blocker and reads rebounds well on both ends of the court. With a promising mid-range game to go along with her defensive and rebounding capabilities, the sky is the limit for the 405 froward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
