<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who cracked the Top Five in the Class of 2028?

No one plays like her in the Class of 2028; she is on her own pedestal. If Carcaterra is left on a 1v1 island, she will absolutely cook her defender. The Prime Time product moves like an elite basketball player. She changes speeds so quickly, and her change of direction is flawless. What makes her lethal is her ability to re-dodge after her initial dodge. What college coaches are going to love about Carcaterra is that she can play attack or midfield. She's so comfortable when she plays, it's a different level of swag. Her shot is top-tier. Carcaterra can get off a shot whenever she wants and has no problem creating her own shot. Her feeding is also at a high level. Carcaterra is must-watch TV. She is cinematic. You can't predict what she is going to do on offense, so you need to buy a ticket to the Carcaterra show.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47545"],"_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-69a485d153e90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most college-ready players in the Class of 2028. Diehl plays/looks like a college player, and she is just a sophomore in high school. She is very athletic, fast, and explosive. She can run both ways, making her the top midfielder in the Class. The Georgia native has a great frame and uses that to absorb contact and drive through the defense on her dodges. She can shoot and finish with both hands. Diehl is an impressive off-ball player and does a lot of damage moving around. The Eagle Stix product takes the draw and wins it to herself. She will be a good college player and has the potential to be the top player in the Class of 2028.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47546"],"_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-69a485d153ed9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moran does a lot of her damage off-ball. The two-way midfielder is extremely hard to guard. When the ball is in her stick, she can split any double team that comes her way and will weave her way through the whole defense. The Maryvale Prep product is super fast and gets downhill at lightning speed. Her on-the-run shot is impressive. Her reads coming in off the circle help her team gain extra possessions. She started as a freshman at Maryvale Prep this past spring and is the starting guard on her basketball team. When she plays against her 2028 class, she thrives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47547"],"_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-69a485d153f1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'2” goalie is super athletic and one of the best high school goalies I've seen. Holden has an extremely high ceiling at the college level. The Laxachusetts product comes out and meets players on the crease. She can make any save and tracks the ball so well. When a player shoots it low, Holden drops extremely quickly. She makes saves from the outside and inside on the crease. Her cross-body, opposite stick side saves are impressive. A truly fun goalie to watch.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47548"],"_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-69a485d153f62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bacallao has great upside for the college level. She makes college-level saves as a sophomore in high school. The Prime Time product makes great saves on the doorstep and drops low very quickly. She tracks the ball well from the outside. Bacallao will come out and intercept passes. Her cross-body, opposite stick side saves stand out.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
