He spent the summer getting stronger with the ball, perfecting those post moves, showing extended range; being able to knock down the three-point shot with consistency, and hitting tough jumpers from the mid-range. Cofie continues to show his promise as one of the top players nationally. He just visited the University of Washington at the end of September and holds multiple other PAC-12 offers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/endless_motor/status/1546579619926654977?s=20u0026t=TAfqL_6TS1_SNd4T-P0OMw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/endless_motor/status/1546579619926654977?s=20&amp;t=TAfqL_6TS1_SNd4T-P0OMw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633da7748a4a5","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1450495"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Goodman is another local product on UW's radar, picking up an offer from the Huskies at the end of August. He also holds offers from San Diego State and Montana. The big man has made huge leaps over the summer, showing the high potential that should continue to garner high major division one offers. Goodman is a long player who hunts for action at the rim; dunks, tip-ins, blocks, you name it. He also has an emerging jumper that still needs work but looks very promising all the way out to three-point. He's a high riser in the ranks and should continue his rapid growth over the coming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Money_Miles_/status/1546856299538706432","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Money_Miles_/status/1546856299538706432 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633da7978a4a6","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1450485"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Stinson continues to quietly get it done and is a player who can affect the game across all categories. He simply has a great feel for the game and can fit into any lineup. He doesn't rely on one thing and can score in a multitude of ways. He's excellent with his back to the basket, can break down defenders off the dribble, and can stretch the floor with the spot-up shot. He has a great combination of skill and smarts that help him remain a top-five player in a talented class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1611993"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"New to the rankings, Ford came on our radar this summer displaying elite athleticism, motor, and a tenacity that is hard to teach. He's an elite athlete who can play above the rim on both sides of the ball and handles the rock well enough to create his own shots and run fast breaks. He's an incredible athlete who brings it on both sides of the ball and could really rise the ranks as he continues to improve the jumper.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1450492"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Simmons is another player who can affect the game on both ends with his mid-range jumper and great length disrupting shots. He really worked to extend his range this summer and showed an increasing ability to hit from behind the arc, as well as jumpers from the post.

He's a similar build to [player_tooltip player_id='1450492' first='Ajayi' last='Simmons'] with super long arms and a wiry frame. Adams really impressed me this summer showing more aggression which led to him making more impact plays. As he continues to ramp up the aggression he will continue to flash his potential.
