Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4512140, member: 6620"] [B]ND Places Two on 2023 McDonald's All-American Squad[/B] Point guard Hannah Hidalgo and shooting guard Emma Risch were both selected to take part in the 2023 McDonald's All-American game in Houston, Texas. Here are write-ups by Shane Laflin that he posted for ESPNw. [HEADING=1][URL='https://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/242006/hannah-hidalgo']Hannah Hidalgo[/URL], PG[/HEADING] [B]Signed with: [URL='https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/team/_/id/87/notre-dame-fighting-irish']Notre Dame[/URL] | 2023 espnw 100 ranking: 5 Paul VI HS (New Jersey)[/B] If there is something on the basketball court worth competing for, count Hidalgo in. Once inside the lines for the tip, she is all go, all the time. End-to-end, Hidalgo may be the fastest guard in the country and she is almost impossible to guard off the dribble with single coverage. Between her sophomore and junior year, she really went to work on her perimeter shooting and now that she is a legitimate threat from downtown, she is essentially an impossible cover 1-on-1. She finishes well against contact, has a package of floater options, and can get hot from the 3. Defensively, the opposing point guard will feel the heat of constant pressure. Hidalgo is a gold medalist from the U17 at the FIBA World Cup in 2022. [HEADING=1][URL='https://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/241982/emma-risch']Emma Risch[/URL], G[/HEADING] [B]Signed with: Notre Dame | 2023 espnw 100 ranking: 20 Palm Bay Magnet HS (Florida)[/B] Notre Dame is getting a knock-down shooter. Risch is known to catch fire from the 3-point line and has had multiple games this year of five-plus 3-point makes. Risch has a great feel for the game which allows her to know the finer details of reading screens and timing of when to relocate to get open opportunities. It is to her advantage that as a major focus of the defense, she can use that gravity to pull and manipulate defenders as she creates for teammates. She is a big guard (6-1) with a crafty handle that complements her shooting with a touch for floaters and finishing in the paint. Risch is averaging 24 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game this season. Here are write-ups on all the other selectees. Congrats to the future Irish and all the players!
