Thanks to his size, speed, change of direction moves and filthy stick skills, Aquino excelled in transition. He also used those same assets in 6v6 action to blow past his man from up top and then charge through the sliding defenders for scoring opportunities on the run. Plus, Aquino excelled at initiating from the wing, sweeping across the opposing defense and then firing while on the move. His poise and high IQ produced patient dodges by Aquino where he waited for a teammate to come open and then delivered a dime. Aquino also flashed the ability to hustle back and play SSDM at a respectable level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["169382"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":169565,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691ba27c92dad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The asset which has popped about Gursky is the way he values possession and thus makes smart decisions with the ball. Whether he is winning clamps cleanly or picking up GBs in a scrum, once Gursky has the rock in his stick, this freshman does a tremendous job of dashing to open space or quickly moving the ball to a teammate. College coaches will love that element of Gursky's face off game. But make no mistake, this fall Gursky has proved he owns the technique and speed to execute a pick-n-pop and then sprint towards the cage to create a scoring opportunity. His polished stick skills enabled him to fire on net or distribute at full speed. Gursky also showed that he can play a physical brand of FOGO and move his opponent off the dot before scooping up the ball. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["169383"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":169567,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691ba27c92e34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this athletic and versatile 2027 prospect remains available is a mystery. This fall Kirk has excelled at initiating from up top and then getting down the alley for shots at full speed. His quick release and ability to fire from multiple angles has kept goalies guessing. In recent weeks, Kirk has also displayed a smooth hitch move that set up his dips underneath the initial defender for a run at the cage. As a bonus to his scoring prowess, Kirk has proved he is willing to carry the ball deep into the teeth of the opposing defense and then feed the open teammate. Kirk has caught opponents by surprise with his ability to take the ball behind the net and then score / distribute from X.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["169384"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":169568,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691ba27c92ec9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This fall, Osorio's physicality, polished footwork, and heavy stick checks have frequently worn-out opposing offensive players until they committed a turnover. His ability to defend a ball carrier 1v1 behind the net has been especially impressive. Osorio's communication skills and capacity for navigating screens made him a plus team defender too. His nifty ground ball skills also turned heads. This versatile pole owns an extremely imposing frame. So, Osorio caught opponents off guard with his fleet footed clears. When Osorio shifted into high gear, he was a runaway locomotive and often left a pile of bodies in his wake. Opposing goalies were surprised by Osorio's willingness to carry the ball deep into the offensive end and then crank a shot on net.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["169385"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":169570,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691ba27c92f50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently this wiry and agile prospect has impressed with his well-rounded offensive skill set. Planck has proved he can run at attack or midfield, play with both hands, and score as well as distribute. This sophomore can initiate from anywhere on the field, but he was especially effective when he quarterbacked the offense from X. Behind the cage, Planck's quick cuts enabled him to change direction multiple times until he shook his defender. Then Planck used his quick burst to come around the corner for a dunk on the crease. Planck's also worked as a patient feeder at X who delivered timely passes to cutters. Planck's off-ball skills proved to be a highly underrated asset. He frequently cut or drifted into open space for easy catch and shoot goals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
