<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the entire weekend, I took notes on most teams/programs that I saw competing in Chicago. In this article, I highlight a handful of players who left it all on the floor in their contests, no matter if they were competing at Nike TOC, EYBL Nike Nationals, or USJN.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514034"],"_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-66a0300b71ead"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"[player_tooltip player_id='514034' first='Danielle' last='Brooks'] is one of the smoothest prospects I know throughout the country at the high school level and that's been on full display this weekend with her [program_tooltip program_id='712446' first='Chicago' last='Hoops Express'] team. Brooks is a crafty, she is smooth in every step she takes, she has finesse, and she has a high motor. She can lead a team with speed and quickness or she can slow things up and run her team's offense in the half-court with some of their sets or motion. Either way, she usually kills it and that's been the case once again throughout these past couple of days."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["671505"],"_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-66a0300b71f08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Every time I see Maddie Vickery, I expect something a little different but that's never the case. With Vickery, it's just fundamentals, consistency, and hard-work. When you pair that along with her calculated aggression, size, and athletic ability, you get someone that is tough to handle on the basketball court. Vickery has been someone all weekend that her team can rely on and because of that, this team brought home a 15U EYBL National Title. Something most competitors can't say at this point in their career."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Palin Coleman ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Philly Rise 15U EYBL","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a0300b71fa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Coleman sent me her schedule on social media prior to this weekend and I'm glad she did. For a prospect out of the 2028 Class, Coleman CAN GO. She has great size at 5'11, she can score in every way imaginable offensively as a SG, and she competes with a ton of energy. You can tell that her team is also aware of her ability with how many sets of offenses they run for Coleman in the half-court out of timeouts or halftime. This is someone with a bright future on the hardwood. She just needs to keep expanding her game and she is going to be a PROBLEM over the next few years at the Varsity level before she gives collegiate ball a chance."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["641993"],"_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-66a0300b71fee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"I think that it's safe to say that Atwood-Mayes is playing the best basketball of her career right now, going into her Sophomore Season at CR - Jefferson. Mayes is just really clicking right now. She is keeping it simple, making the extra pass when it's there, outplaying her opponents in their 1v1 matchup, and she is always willing to sacrifice her body on the floor for a loose ball for the good of her team.

She is someone with good size, noteworthy athleticism, offensive skill, while being a prospect that can stay with bigger or smaller matchups defensively. This weekend, she has demonstrated that she can move around and finish through contact at the rim or she can step up and knock down a bucket from further from the basket with a pull up. I don't think that she is college committed yet but whoever gets her, is getting a skilled hooper with a solid attitude." </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":951501,"width":"270px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-22-at-10.23.44-AM.png?w=492" alt="" class="wp-image-951501" style="width:270px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:image {"id":716887,"width":"305px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/07/EYBL-Day-3-5-Stand-Outs-crop-1154x758-1689114229.png?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-716887" style="width:305px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
