At the top of the centers list we have Brooklyn Meyer. A 6’2 inside presence who is a relative unknown throughout the state, Meyer has already started to grab offers from DI programs. She plays for an out-of-state AAU program so many wouldn’t have seen her this summer either. Right now, she’s easily the best center in the state. Brooklynn Smith is right behind her and is ranked tenth in the 2022 class. Meyer is a very formidable, but raw post player who has a very high ceiling once she reaches her potential. Improved quickness and strength around the rim is going to bounce her up the 2022 rankings quickly.
Chloe Largent is someone who could slide up the board pretty quickly as well. She has a good feel for the game and solid strength around the rim. Largent is a very good shot blocker and her post defense is steadily improving. While she might not reach into the top three in the class of centers, I have no doubt she could slide up the overall rankings quickly.
