Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 5326962, member: 5089"] Missed this piece from mid August. [I] [B]No. 39 [URL='http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/265559/emily-mcdonald']Emily McDonald[/URL][/B] Guard | 6-0 | Long Island Lutheran (NY) | Team Northeast P24 Major buzz around McDonald started in the fall at Long Island Lutheran's open gyms -- coaches were leaving sessions with another major name on their lists. She is a do-it-all guard who is long and skilled. She can facilitate as a leader or slide over and hunt the 3-point shot aggressively. The outstanding thing about her though is that she constantly communicates - on both ends of the floor. She has serious leadership intangibles that benefit her teammates. She also has an advanced ability to read screens off the ball - timing, technique, and countering defense - and can play well out of ball screen action. [B]No. 9 [URL='http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/257258/eve-long']Eve Long[/URL][/B] Forward | 6-3 | Olathe South HS (KS) | Southwest Select 3SSB Long had been on the fringes of the Top 10 in her class for some time before she made it in the most recent rankings, and she has further developed her game since. In a summer that saw her make the American U16 national team and win a gold medal, Long showed she is not just lengthy and springy, but also versatile and skilled. Recently, she created more buzz at Overtime Select's second weekend. Long is the smoothest forward to get to the rim in the country, and with enough space finishes well above the rim in a variety of ways. She is showing improved range and her handle is well advanced. She talks the game well and craves coaching -- evidence of a very bright future.

By June's Perfect & Perfect camp, she was a certified hooper. Jackson has improved her handle, range and feel on the floor -- and she can still dunk. Her ability to defend and rebound will transcend many levels of this game.[/I] [B][I]Honorable mention:[/I][/B][I] G Taylor Morris 2029 Freshman Watchlist Geralyn Byers-Veal (TX) - Southwest Select[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/45960384/girls-high-school-basketball-summer-circuit-recruiting-takeaways-stock-risers-2026-2027-2028-2029[/URL] [/QUOTE]
