About Eve
Expert Analysis
Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Long recently committed to Notre Dame, and I’m sure she’ll make the transition quickly for several reasons. Yes, she’s “long and athletic,” and she’s 75 inches tall, but her intangibles, including doing things instinctively, just blew me away. She scored off the dribble, faced the basket, and scored. She also elevated over defenders. Yet, watching her come from out of nowhere to rebound and block shots is special. So was her “hands and footwork.”

Long generally endured being on the receiving end of physical play from the group of Wichita East bigs she faced inside. And while she went off for 30 points and 8 boards (4 offensive) on better than 50 percent shooting and 7/9 from the line it was her ability to consistently sprint down the floor for transition buckets and knocking down perimeter shots that were great to see.

Battling illness and a terrific Hutchinson doubling game plan Long wrapped up a 14 point win with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 3 steals. Her results were a big key to victory but how well she adjusted to double-teams and lane clogging was important. She repeatedly found the right kick-out pass, used her hops to generate second-chance points and control the glass. The Falcons out-rebounded the Salthawks 47-24. Disrupting Salthawk plans was her moving out of the center spot to play on the perimeter more. That gave her perimeter looks and enabled the team to open up more space in the lane.

Eve is currently our top-ranked player in the state of Kansas for the Class of 2027, and she put her complete game on display this evening. She consistently ran the floor in transition, finishing uncontested layups, and was dominant on the glass—grabbing offensive rebound after offensive rebound and converting multiple putbacks.
The fourth quarter belonged to Long, as she went on a mini run of her own by sprinting the floor and getting deep post touches that led to easy layups.

is a truly tremendous talent, excelling as both a formidable three-point shooter and a dominant power forward. Her performance during the AAU season has been nothing short of exceptional, demonstrating her ability to consistently impact every facet of the game. She possesses a rare offensive versatility, functioning as a four-level scorer capable of hitting from deep, in the mid-range, at the rim, and from the free-throw line.
Beyond her offensive prowess, Eve combines an amazing rebounding ability with a truly versatile defensive presence. Her relentless pursuit of the ball on the boards secures crucial possessions, while her defensive instincts allow her to guard multiple positions effectively. This comprehensive skill set, blending high-level scoring with tenacious rebounding and adaptable defense, makes her a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court.

was one of the most active bigs defensively, showing the ability to switch out on the wing and still contest shots. She got off the floor quickly for rebounds and blocks, constantly creating second-chance opportunities. Her energy and effort were hard to miss.

Long will be a household name sooner than later so it’s exciting to watch her live. The 3SSB circuit provides a chance to see Long go against defenders her size to really provide a glimpse of what she will look like on the next level. And even against opponents her size, she separates herself in transition, moving like a guard and consistently beating players down the court. In the half court, she stays patient on the perimeter, using a simple but effective drop step to shake defenders and finish at the rim with her length. Her blend of size, control, and agility makes her a mismatch nightmare.

Long is smart, athletic player with a diverse game. Her presence as a perimeter threat makes her strong handles that much more effective. A terrific shot blocker inside and on the perimeter. A walking three point play due to her ability to knock down free throws. Terrific hops but has a tendency to get airborne biting on head fakes.
