Loyal is that guy. He's an athletic high flyer who stands at 6'2 maybe, and jump with the best of them off two feet. He's strong with a thick body and just attacks the rim in the paint. He runs the court, makes good cuts to the rim and finished with power going up for rebounds and points. 8pts, 5rebs, 2asts.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1530501"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"He's a stock riser in the 2025 class. The long, slick handling baller brings a level of confidence to the court. He has speed, and quickness with the ball, a good first step to get by defenders. He can handle the point guard position. His passing, and ability to get into the paint for floaters, jumpers and kick outs were noticeable. He hit key buckets throughout the game, corner 3's, and pull-up jumpers. He's a long armed defender with good lateral movement. 16pts, 4-3's, and a charge.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Jalan Cody","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Ygnacio Valley","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"He's a newcomer to our 2026 class.
