Gabby Loftin Gabby Loftin 5'8" | SG Florence | 2023 State NJ | Florence
Loftin is a great talent on both ends of the floor. This was obvious in her first career game. She posted 16 points and 15 steals in a win over STEM Civics. That trend continued in game two when she finished with 20 points and nine steals. From there, a star was born. Loftin has great speed and can handle the ball effectively in the open floor. She showed a hint of a jump shot and that will continue to grow as her game progresses.
Ally Sweeney Ally Sweeney 5'8" | SG Sparta | 2023 State NJ | Sparta
Sweeney is the type of guard that every program hopes they can get as a freshman. She averaged 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. Sweeney is listed as a shooting guard and that makes sense given her shooting prowess, but she can handle the ball like a point guard and even rebound along with the bigs. Sweeney has a bright future ahead of her at Sparta.
Angelica Velez Angelica Velez 5'6" | PG Webb Bell-Buckle | 2023 State TN | Manchester Township
Velez may have the highest ceiling of anyone on this list. And she is not even near it. That says a lot when you take her current ability into account. Velez is a big time shooter, gifted passer, and has a mind for the game that is past her years. Manchester Township has been producing star talent and they have another one on their way in Velez.
Aaryn Battle Aaryn Battle 5'8" | SF Camden Catholic | 2023 State NJ | Clearview
Battle came in and made an immediate impact for Clearview with 10 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in her first season. This trend continued over the course of the season. Battle is a stat sheet filler. She can get it done on both ends with great efficiency. Battle is a gifted shooter that can spot up or create for herself. At 5’8, Battle is as versatile as they come. She can play down low with the forwards or take a spot on the peirmeter.
Kyla Glasser-Hyman Kyla Glasser-Hyman 5'6" | PG Stuart Country | 2023 NJ | Hightstown
Glasser-Hyman has already arrived as an impact player and difference maker. Just look at her season. She scored over 13 points per game and averaged four steals per game. In her first career game, Glasser-Hyman finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, and 11 steals. This is a complete performance from a complete guard. Hightstown has their next great player.
