The 6'4 wing caught fire early in game one, knocking down several three's and hitting a tough pull up off the bounce. In game two, he poured in 22 points. Glock definitely boosted his stock in Day 1, and will look to carry the momentum over to not only the rest of the weekend, but the rest of the summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1253990"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":2051636,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1253990' first='Carter' last='Mick'] had a great night, as he was the second leading scorer in both games for Nebraska Supreme 17U. Mick got hot from three early, and made big shots down the stretch as well. Not only did Mick pour it in from outside, but he also rebounded and passed very well. He showed Friday night that he is more than just a scorer. Look for Mick to continue to play well for this loaded Nebraska Supreme squad.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":2051638,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2134448' first='Kade' last='Cook']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Gretna","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"NBDA","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2134448' first='Kade' last='Cook'] was very impressive Friday night. The 6'7 guard showcased his ability to score on all three levels: he got to the rim, hit contested 2's, and knocked down a pair of outside shots. Cook has great positional size and is a matchup nightmare for the opposing defenses. He is a unique prospect with a tremendous skillset. Look for him to boost into the rankings the next time they are updated.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1587884"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":2051641,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1587884' first='Mari' last='Shumaker'] is a fun player to watch. The 6' guard is a tremendous playmaker, with the ability to create for himself and for his teammates. In the game against Kingdom Hoops, Mari finished with several assists and had a lot of crafty finishes around the rim. He also did a great job at controlling the pace of the game and keeping the defense guessing.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1580102"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":2051643,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1580102' first='Barret' last='Boesiger'] displayed his toughness and shot making ability Friday night. In the win against Kingdom Hoops, Boesiger made several winning plays, and made tough shots when his team needed them. He is a consistent and reliable producer with a high motor and a strong desire to win. He is a hard guy to take off of the floor.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1765518"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":2051647,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Jude Gibson was a stud Friday night for Kingdom Hoops. Playing up a grade level, Gibson may have still been the best player on the floor. His defense was tremendous, forcing several turnovers because of his ball pressure and stepping in passing lanes for steals. Offensively, Gibson was able to get to the rim whenever he wanted, and found himself at the free throw line often.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":2051662,"_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2119115' first='Peyton' last='McCollum'] ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Maryville High School","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"Kingdom Hoops","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"In the first half, [player_tooltip player_id='2119115' first='Peyton' last='McCollum'] was on fire from the outside. He knocked down several deep threes, both on the catch and off of the bounce. In the second half when shots weren't falling for him, he picked up his defensive intensity and made big plays down the stretch. McCollum is a streaky scorer who can light it up from anywhere on the court. To add to that, McCollum plays the game the right way, and seems like he has a chip on his shoulder.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1300954"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":2051682,"_player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"I saw nobody all night long who played as hard as [player_tooltip player_id='1300954' first='Ben' last='Johnson'] did. Johnson did everything for his squad: rebounded, defended, scored, did the dirty work, etc. In addition to that, the 6'4 wing is playing up a grade level. Johnson already has a college ready body, while being only in the 2025 class. If his skillset continues to develop, he may end up being a top player in his class when it is all said and done.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1424099"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_player_featured_image":2051684,"_player_evaluations_8_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Benji Nelson was a monster on both ends of the floor tonight. Offensively, he showed his versatility by knocking down several outside shots. In addition, whenever Nelson had the ball in the paint, it was a for sure two points. However, I was most impressed with his defensive effort and energy. Nelson may have had well over 5 blocks on the night. Nelson's length and athletic ability are special attributes that should make him appealing to scholarship level coaches. Nelson decided to reclassify into the 2024 class, so his recruitment should pick up in a major way.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649fa9f910875"} /-->
