Overview

Piper is one of the most naturally accomplished and polished candidates on paper — a decorated All-American sailor, long-standing community leader, former class president, multi-time scholarship winner, and someone who has led teams, programs, and organizations since middle school. She brings warmth, energy, and a genuinely uplifting presence that makes her easy to root for.

Across MAP, she consistently displayed optimism, emotional intelligence, and strong interpersonal skills — very Point Guard–like. Her leadership experience is both deep and diverse, spanning athletics, nonprofit work, ASB, youth programs, and technical roles in A&D casework.

The main area holding Piper back from a higher MAP grade this cycle was execution reliability: assignments were often late or not fully aligned with instructions. The upside is that these issues are fixable and not tied to talent. With more structure, consistency, and attention to detail, Piper has the raw ingredients to outperform her ranking.

Projection

A 3-Star, Round 4–5 MAP prospect with one of the strongest “on-paper” profiles in the entire class and natural charisma that teams gravitate toward. If she tightens up execution, punctuality, and detail consistency, Piper has the potential to rise quickly. Her positivity and leadership background give her a high-upside long-term projection — a candidate who could outperform her grade in future cycles with the right structure and reps.
