Recruiting Update: More class of 2024

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I did a couple of these last year with the 2023 class, so I decided to do some more now with the 2024 class within the state of Washington now that the season is approaching. I reached out to some players within the 2024 class and asked them 5 questions about their summers, the upcoming season, and what their recruiting process is looking like as of right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1409013"],"_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":"u003cemu003eHow do you think your AAU u0026amp; HS summer league went?
