<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're about a month out from the Sophomore ID Camp at Gold Crown on&nbsp;Sunday, September 7th. This is your chance to test yourself against 2028 talent from across the state as we all head out under one roof. I will be on-site to evaluate how your game translates in a showcase setting and get an early read heading into the season. Rankings will be updated shortly after, using this as a key baseline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Use code&nbsp;“JohnsonHoops25”&nbsp;at checkout for a discount.(<a href="https://events.prephoops.com/e/1590/register/colorado-sophomore-id-camp">Here)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2104675"],"_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-68967072239c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Powell had his moments of the summer, and we want to see more of them. He's capable of explosive scoring runs and lights-out shooting, but we want to see that production against elite competition. He's also got the tools to run the table and lock up defensively, as well as a smaller guard that gets after it. We've seen him play up all summer, but this showcase puts him in his own class with the other 2028s that are vying for his spot and he wants to move as well. This is where he can dominate as a shot-maker and prove he's one of the premier guards in 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381957"],"_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-6896707223a5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With Rangeview's lead guards graduating, Washington steps into a massive role this season. He'll have to run the offense, be asked to take over in games, and impact defensively every night. We didn't see much of him this summer, so this showcase is the perfect tune-up to prove he belongs among the best. We want more from him, we expect more, and September 7th is his chance to show he's a top dog and ready to lead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528300"],"_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-6896707223b07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McDonald's stock has buzz, but now we need to see it live. He's a versatile combo guard who can control both ends as he scores at will, creates for others, and locks in defensively. We've heard he's capable of big things, and the expectations are high. This showcase is the spot for him to come in, play his game, and show that he's not just one of the best in his class, but he's a player who deserves to be ranked even higher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531917"],"_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-6896707223b82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ulmer might be one of the most showcase-ready players in the class. Coming out of the Springs, he doesn't get to see this many highly-ranked players often, but he feels he belongs with them. He's a pure bucket-getter who thrives in competitive settings. We want to see him match up, make noise, and force his way into higher rankings conversation. With the right performance here, Ulmer could be one of the class's big risers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396584"],"_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-6896707223bfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Langford didn't have a summer where we got to see much of him so this is his make-up opportunity, and we expect him to take full advantage. He's a physical, downhill attacker with a chip on his shoulder who thrives when surrounded by the top talent. He's at his best showcasing his athleticism, toughness, and ability to impose his will. This showcase gives him the stage to set the tone for his season and prove he's ready for a bigger role and more recognition. I can't think of better opportunities than this one to prove it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
