2023 Rankings Review: Posts

In this post ranking review article, we decided to combine the "power forwards" and the "centers" into one grouping. The top post in the entire state is [player_tooltip player_id="63019" first="Audi" last="Crooks"]. She holds the top spot among all players in the 2023 class in the overall rankings as well. Crooks has great footwork and skill and is a dominant back-to-basket player as she demonstrated this past year. Crooks is the best talent in the freshman class right now and she projects to be at or near the top in the four years to come. Rounding out the top five are [player_tooltip player_id="160549" first="Ava" last="Schubert"], [player_tooltip player_id="160550" first="Madison" last="Hillman"], [player_tooltip player_id="146976" first="Sierra" last="Moore"], and [player_tooltip player_id="127608" first="Riley" last="Batta"]. All four of these players are forwards who can make plays with the ball in their hands whether that be getting to the rim or making plays for others. There are so many different types of options in this freshman class for forwards. You have players like [player_tooltip player_id="63046" first="Ava" last="Meyer"] and [player_tooltip player_id="63057" first="Ellie" last="Flanagan"] who are more of a typical stretch four player and then players like [player_tooltip player_id="63062" first="Johnna" last="Rotto"] and [player_tooltip player_id="127626" first="Gracie" last="Schoonhoven"] who are your more typical back-to-basket strength players. This is a very deep set of interior forwards and a lot fo them will likely end up bouncing and playing more on the outside when things are all said and done Be on the lookout for further analysis of the posts later this week. <table class="tablepress" style="width: 100%;" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="td1" style="width: 8.03134182174339%;
