<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The returning cast from the 2024 all-state teams, particularly within the 5A level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1176298"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66756d86610e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The future division 1 athlete and first team all-state vote, Holland is primed for an immensely productive year at Los Lunas. The physically imposing guard is a wrecking ball while attacking downhill, going through just about everyone within the state. Efficiently getting to finishes with either hand in the lane, Holland has proven himself as a big guard with soft touch. Just as dependable rising up for jump shots off the dribble, his high release point and 6'5 frame allows him to routinely convert jumpers over the contest. Continuing to develop his mid-range shotmaking following ball screens, he is a versatile shotmaking option whose frame will hold up on either end of the floor while at the next level. Holland holds a wide variety of offers, including from a few of the premier teams in the nation, including Utah State, BYU, Arizona State, Cincinnati, among others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158654"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66756d8661139"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Steadily improving his skills alongside the wiry and lanky frame, Steverson continues to impress throughout regional showcase events. His long strides and fairly tight handle make the guard a handful while attacking the lane in open space. Proactive attacking the rim for dunks or contested layups, opponents have had trouble containing the guard at the point of attack or from off-ball movement. Defensively, he holds up versus opposing backcourt creators, given his impressive wide reach and quick hips to contain opponents. Recently reclassified to the 2025 class with ABC Prep, Steverson is set for a productive summer of recruitment, already garnering offers from Air Force and Southern Utah.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2111977"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66756d866117e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Up among the top names in the whole state, regardless of class, Lunn has remained a productive wing throughout this summer. Following an all-state honorable mention for his performances with 30-1 and state title champion Volcano Vista. A physical scorer who can bully opponents around the paint, his size and skill was difficult to slow down for opponents. His ability to handle and shoot at a competitive level, particularly for his strength, provides a unique skillset to build with as only a 2027. Defensively, he can take on the best forwards and perimeter threats along the perimeter, already versatile for his age. Lunn has been offered by Penn State, Howard, West Virginia, and New Mexico Highlands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1176300"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66756d86611d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The reigning player of the year and future division 1 athlete have repeatedly proven themselves as one of the state's premier names. One of, if not the winningest player within recent memory, Aguino has a chance to grab a fourth title. Programs have noticed, bolstering his reputation with offers from Air Force, San Jose State, Cal Poly, North Dakota, and Northern Colorado. His constant motor around the glass combined with the notable spot-up shooting production make him a sought after forward, malleable to many lineups. Throughout local tournaments, Aguino has routinely been among the top names, garnering multiple first and second team votes from these past events. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
