<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last weekend's Oklahoma Clash brought a look at 2025 prospects who are shining to start their 17U grassroots campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1796293"],"_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_0_evaluation":"For the last two years, Williams has starred in his role on back to back Class 4A State Championship teams.  Last year it was a sniper and defensive tone setter, this year those traits carried over. With improved athleticism and confidence hinting at an expanding scoring game as a junior. He's starting his grassroots spring very strong as a more complete offensive threat.  In a Saturday morning contest where he started slow from three, Williams was quick, strong and efficient as a finisher off the dribble.  With his size, he fits perfectly as a tough, disruptive defender, who should be able to cover 1-3 at the next level.  And he's probably one of the most undervalued prospects in Oklahoma.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2339869"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The focal point of a pair of wins for his squad, Evans had a versatile skillset going on Saturday.  There were the moments of sneaky athleticism with strong dunks at the rim and rim protection on the other end. Which paired well with his face up game and ability to take fellow forwards off the dribble. Mix in the occasional jumper and the lefty has the opportunity to be one of the biggest risers in Oklahoma's Class of 2025.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1625065"],"_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":"After transferring to Grind Prep earlier this year, Clark reclassified from 2024 to 2025.  There was always an interesting archetype to his game, with great height and shooting touch. But he did not always play to his size. Over the last four months, he has taken off physically and mentally with a more aggressive playing style.  He can still hit jumpers, but the way he covers ground on defense and alters shots all over the court is a big step forward.  Along with improved shot blocking, Clark attacks rebounds better.  Add in some strong slams from running the floor and he looked like a future collegiate player on Saturday. The growth is obvious in his game, and should only continue as Clark continues to take his basketball eduction to the next level.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1625042"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"In a Saturday night viewing, it was a slow start for the Okay standout. But the way he responded and battled back was impressive.  Davis is a sniper from deep, and allowed three point makes to give him confidence. Which translated into him showing off his fancy dribble skills and great vision.  The quick guard can also can also be a pest defensively, with a nose to jump into the passing lanes and making the opposition pay for sloppy passing. After a few great years of production at the small town level, it was great to see him adjust and eventually thrive at the 17U level of a good regional tournament.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1475985"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another weekend, another example of Brown having sneaky upside as an on the ball creator and distributor.  The same athletic gifts that allow him to fly around the court as a defender and creating his own shot, have been combined with a change in his mindset.  Especially this past weekend with his team's primary point guard sidelined, he thrived in a Saturday night victory.  Not only is Brown making the simple, unselfish passes, his ability to pressure the rim and set up teammates is leading to him making big time feeds to teammates.  If this is a building block of what he could become for the home stretch of his prep career, Brown will be a big time priority for regional college programs.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1391442"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"With a national schedule awaiting Hankins, it was good to get another reference point of his complete offensive game shining.  Hankins remains a big time threat from three, but when given the freedom to play as an attacker he has thrived this spring.  He remains a long distance threat, but in two tournaments this Norman in spring he has shown his adeptness at attacking downhill and thriving. While he can hit contested stepbacks, his willingness to get downhill has made him one of the better scorers watched this spring. Given the nature of current college basketball recruitment, he's one of the best candidates in the Class of 2025 to fit into the JuCo-D1 trail that is starting to be blazed by more and more Oklahomans.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661ea48116764"} /-->
