<p>This tournament is set to be the second-largest recruiting event of the weekend, and I'll be right in the middle of it, scouting notebook in hand. I've already mapped out a preliminary list of players and teams to watch, but as the action unfolds, I want to see even more athletes making their mark. Remember, the first step to getting on our radar is visibility—so be sure to tag me with your court schedule <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/">@prepdigdakotas</a>.</p>

<p>With the 15s making waves in our upcoming rankings, remember—it's not just about skills. We evaluate players the same way college coaches do. What kind of teammate are you off the court? How do you represent your program? How do you handle adversity after a tough loss? Are you coachable and willing to grow? These factors matter just as much as your stats. You never know when or where we'll be watching!</p>

<p><strong><em>15s, listen up!</em></strong> You've entered the division where it's time to make a statement about who you are as a player. College coaches are watching, and some of you are already on their radar. Every time you step on the court, it's an opportunity to prove yourself. How will you stand out? How will you showcase your talent, work ethic, and character? This is your moment—make it count!</p>
