Grit Region Finals: 2027 Game Changers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at my final (and arguably, most valuable) evaluation list I've compiled from last weekends Grit Region Finals up in Chicago. Featuring some high end 2027 prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sawyer Asgedom","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Lockdown 16u JT Daniels","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-683752b662afb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trailing for much of the game, Asgedom took matters in to his own hands. Burying three straight triples as part of a huge 2nd half spurt. But it wasn't just his shooting that caught my attention. Lengthy wingspan allowed him to force several turnovers defensively. Led Lockdown with 16 points including 11 in the 2nd half as part of a big comeback win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2822689"],"_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-683752b662b99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Athletic Point Guard for flight athletics. Came through when needed in a tight game vs BNB Saturday afternoon. Finished with 24 in the contest. Hitting difficult shots from all three levels and never lost confidence. I'm a big fan of his ability to read defenses and make good decision with the ball. That showed on Sunday with terrific playmaking abilities. I also love the build for his age. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125684"],"_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-683752b662c21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">16u FP Black prospect showed so much confidence with his shooting abilities vs M14-1. Especially in the early going where he scored ten of the team's first 14 points. Hitting shots from all three levels. Best part of his game is the motor he plays with. Plays with so much energy on both ends and showed tremendous confidence attacking the rim over multiple defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2241685"],"_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-683752b662c9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a rangy 6'5” W who's a top 30 prospect in the bluegrass state. Had a dominant game vs [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] to begin Saturday, and followed that off with another terrific performance vs MTXE Premier. Got going right away with a floater in the opening seconds. Showed tons of explosiveness going up and down the floor as the game progressed. Playmaking was just as effective. He's the kind of player that made everyone around him better. Best part of his game might be his defense. At least 6-7 steals in this matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141478"],"_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-683752b662d1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love what [player_tooltip player_id='2141478' first='Isaiah' last='Fox'] did vs [program_tooltip program_id='2496167' first='Pro' last='Lane']. Showcased blazing speed up the floor with tight finishes against the Walz Zone. Also showed he can knock down outside shots and create for others as a 6'0” Point Guard. Defense was crucial in a close game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2394422"],"_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-683752b662d94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morgan had an outstanding performance vs [program_tooltip program_id='2075258' first='ABC' last='Young Lions'] Sunday morning. Lengthy two-way guard had so much speed attacking the rim. Almost nothing getting in his way during this contest. Knocked down a 3-pointer late in a tight game. Then scored his 30th point of the contest to regain the lead on a fast break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
