<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 5 players from the San Antonio area are some of the most talented and hardworking players you'll ever meet. Playing for the phenomenal Arnold Elite organization their future is bright.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2428188"],"_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-6740143b83ebd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2428188' first='Chase' last='Hill'] is a rare unicorn in today's game of basketball! With his size and frame he shows signs of being one of the best guards in San Antonio. Standing at 6ft6 with his ability to back his defenders into the paint or face up and take them off a dribble.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He showed me a plethora of moves this past spring/summer 2024. Watching his growth on the circuit since 2022 with Arnold Elite has been fun. What impressed me the most was his range from behind the arch. He made so many shots look so easy. Every time he shoots I feel as if he won't miss it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2428176"],"_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-6740143b83f26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2428176' first='Cole' last='Hill'] game as grown so much over the past 3 years of me watching him. It's been a pleasure to cover this kid and watch his game evolve into what it is today!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his ability to handle pressure from smaller guards and protect the ball 🏀 in full court presses, at his frame and size of 6ft3 he can be a very good D2 or really good D3 point guard for someone. His poised timing on passes and attacking gaps in into his opponents defense proves why he is a top guard to watch in the San Antonio area.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole should have a break out year this year and pick up some offers late into the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2557890"],"_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-6740143b83f73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sneaky and good shouldn't go together but that's what describes [player_tooltip player_id='2557890' first='Josh' last='Montgomery']. Not the flashiest player but with his pace and strength definitely one of the few guards that caught my attention who had alot of potential to be good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My first time seeing [player_tooltip player_id='2557890' first='Josh' last='Montgomery'] this past summer and it left me wishing I was able to see more. It was his first year with aau club Arnold Elite, and it left me wondering how much better this group could have been if he joined earlier in his career. Josh mid range shot which seems to be a lost cause in today's game was his most promising shot. With his ability to attack and get to his spot was always spot on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2428239"],"_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-6740143b83fbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tramell was a player we had nothing on prior to this season, but after summer ball finished we had all we needed to know of the young man. Standing at 6ft4 with a silky smooth 3 point shot but aggressive enough to go grab a board to go finish caught all of our eyes on the circuit this past year. Improved tremendously playing up 17u this past season for coach Arnold being challenged to be pushed to a higher level then what he was comfortable with it.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If he improves his ball handling and passing ability he could be a name that alot of coaches will know by the end of 2025!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2558375"],"_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-6740143b84003"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking at Gio before a game during warm ups, you don't know what ya gonna get. But watching him from the time to when he's subbed in to when he finished a game, you should have no doubt that this kid belongs on the main court here on the circuit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">His hustle and heart keeps him getting time on the floor for coach Arnold. Kid has major upside and we're excited to see what kind of role he can carve out for himself at Reagan HS under head coach Hurst.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
