<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part II in my review of extraordinarily talented and available 2027 prospects who we would send a college offer to right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["141437"],"_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-6970d9ae5f613"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blekicki is an elusive X-attack with polished stick skills and cut on a dime agility. Those items combined with his creative offensive mind and talent for shooting / passing with both hands enables Blekicki to dominate a game from behind the cage. Blekicki plays like a point guard in basketball. He does a fantastic job of orchestrating his team's offense and getting teammates involved first. He is especially lethal when working from X and delivering precise feeds to cutters. Once the opposing defense is focused elsewhere, Blekicki will then take advantage of scoring opportunities that come his way. Blekicki's quick burst and change of direction moves allow him to cook the initial defender and then streak around the corner for a goal in close. He is capable of dodging from X going left or right. Blekicki's deep bag of finishing moves makes him impossible to stop him around the crease. The quick release and accurate placement on his powerful sidearm shot means that Blekicki should be feared as a wing shooter too. This athletic and fast 2027 has also flashed that he can run as a midfielder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["166246"],"_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-6970d9ae5f681"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back in October Chase was named the defensive MVP of the Apex Fall National Showcase. Watch him for a game or two and it easy to understand how Chase earned that prestigious award. Chase is an athletic net minder with fast hands, an active stick and noteworthy size. He also tracks shooters remarkably well. The combination of these assets makes it nearly impossible to score on Chase from long range. When opposing teams generate scoring chances in close, Chase remains poised and ready to use any part of his body needed to make a save. On clean saves, Chase will swiftly deliver a precise outlet pass to an open teammate. But Chase has repeatedly proven that he values possession too. So rather than force a clearing pass up field, he will smartly distribute to a pole on his left or right. College coaches will love that Chase is in constant communication with his defensive unit. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["124373"],"_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-6970d9ae5f6cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this elite attack prospect remains available is a mystery. Elliott is a fleet footed lefty with filthy stick skills, serious shake, and a high lacrosse IQ. He is impossible to defend 1v1 and is capable of defeating double teams too. Elliott can initiate from anywhere and create scoring opportunities for himself or teammates. His ability to start on the wing, separate from his defender and then sweep across the top of the opposing defense for a shot on the run is impressive. After Elliott has established that move, he will use a hitch or jab step to set up a dip underneath his defender for a run to the cage. Elliott also thrives when initiating from X. His shifty cuts and stick maneuvers allow Elliott to elude multiple defenders as he dashes around the corner for a scoring opportunity on the crease. Elliott has demonstrated that he can absorb significant contact on his runs to the cage and still maintain possession. If needed, the versatile Elliott can run at midfield too. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173278"],"_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":173318,"_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-6970d9ae5f730"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top available poles in North Carolina is an extraordinary 1v1 defender. Hopkins' size, tenacity, polished footwork, and non-stop motor enabled him to remain glued to ball carriers all over the field. He does an outstanding job of staying in front of his man and turning him repeatedly. Plus, Hopkins has a habit of getting into ball carriers early in their dodge and stopping them cold. His physical style of play as well as his active stick produces frequent turnovers. When the ball hits the turf, Hopkins will snatch up the GB and then fire a smart clearing pass up field. Hopkins' high IQ and quick reactions produce timely slides and double teams. This 6-foot-3 defender owns a long wingspan which helps Hopkins disrupt passing lanes with his stick. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["120924"],"_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-6970d9ae5f77b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roubic is a fast and elusive attack who is a serious offensive threat from anywhere on the field. Roubic's quick first step enables him to blow past his initial defender and then cause havoc on opposing defenses. If the help defense slides too early, Roubic will move the ball to an open teammate. If the slide is late, Roubic will streak to the net for a dunk. When the slide is perfectly timed, Roubic's deep bag of spins, cutbacks and nifty stick maneuvers allow him to slip past that defender and get his hands free for a rip. Roubic is an aggressive, but patient style of attack who will re-dodge until a high percentage opportunity arises. Lastly, the combination of Roubic's endless energy and high IQ produces smart cuts and drifts that lead to clean looks. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
