She's long and athletic and plays with a lot of energy and intensity, which gives the impression she can be in multiple spots at the same time. Irwin is a strong player on both sides of the ball, getting off the floor well and using her long arms to get a high contact point in her swings and to put on big blocks in front of opponents. She can also hit from the right at a high level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657725d4d7522"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/kenli_irwin/status/1733703270416191594?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/kenli_irwin/status/1733703270416191594?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["246323"],"_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":"An outside with a solid all-around game, Kote was at our Top 250 Expo last year in Houston, but I've been following her during the club and high school seasons as well. She typically plays big roles for her teams with her ability to contribute on both sides of the ball. Kote is at her best at the net, where she can operate as a solid point-scorer with her physical and technical tools, while also making strong plays with her blocking. She's been improving her backcourt skills over the years and is now a reliable passer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657725d4d7605"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16324914/6528af6c02bbb80bd0afffcc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657725d4d76ad"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254251"],"_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":"A defensive dynamo, Hooper is among the fastest-rising liberos in the Houston area. She got significant playing time with her strong Cypress Ranch team during the last high school season and was extremely active, contributing to the team's success. Hooper is very determined and aggressive with her defensive moves, exploding for the ball in a very impactful way. She also reads the game very well and has excellent ball control, making very difficult digs. Capable of defending both the middle and left positions, Hooper is also a strong sever, who can get some runs going from the service line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657725d4d7779"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16811034/65496573da5c1f0240531375' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657725d4d77ac"} /-->
