5 2027’s Wanted At The Expo

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is are some very talented basketball players in Michigan and the depth of that talent is astounding. The Expo: Michigan (The Top 250 Expo) has been the largest girls basketball showcase in the state for many years and should be once again this year. There have been players recruited at all levels attending this event. I'm going to give you 5 players in the class of 2027 that are a great example of athletes that we'd like to see in the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Use discount code "HankampPGH2024" when registering! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some additional pre event articles below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/5-2025s-wanted-at-the-expo-michigan/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/5-2025s-wanted-at-the-expo-michigan/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/5-2026s-wanted-at-the-expo-michigan/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/5-2026s-wanted-at-the-expo-michigan/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751145"],"_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-669bbf0d2f476"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simpson has that "it factor" and could put on a show at The Expo. D1's and D2's should make note if she shows to the gym. Simpson is an aggressive and attacking guard off the bounce. She can use her aggression and her handles to attack the rim or to create space for a pull up jumper. Simpson doesn't over dribble or get caught in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751151"],"_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-669bbf0d2f4db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ratliff made noise at the Prep Girls Hoops Freshman Showcase last year. There's no doubt that she could do the same at The Expo this fall. She's a balanced shooter, even when pulling up on the move. I'd call her an athletic shooter that defenders have to always be prepared for. Ratliff plays solid low base perimeter defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904057"],"_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-669bbf0d2f51e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Danielak is a player that I'd really like to see at The Expo. There's a lot to like about her game and I'd like to see her match up with some of the best in the state. She's a quick and concise shooter that has good weight transfer on her jumper. Danielak rebounds high and has shown strong hands. She keeps the ball high and gets it back on the rim on put back attempts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807919"],"_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-669bbf0d2f55e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a player that coaches would love to take a close look at in Grand Rapids. She's a high energy player that wins hustle points for her team. Davis can hit all corners of the stat sheet with her solid all around game. She has good offensive footwork and we've seen significant growth in her ability to use her feet to create effective post moves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735635"],"_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-669bbf0d2f59c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minnick is one of those athletes that's just good at sports. She's a very good softball prospect as well. But college coaches would enjoy seeing her show off her hoop skills at The Expo. She has great vision and reaction time, probably also why she's so good in the field. Minnick is a high IQ passer and decision maker. She sees the right pass and puts the ball where it needs to be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
