The 2022 class expanded exponentially. Tons of names that were left off our first set of rankings have rightfully found themselves among the best of the best. Here’s a look at some of the biggest stock risers the class has to offer.
<strong><img class="wp-image-188052 size-thumbnail alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/07/IMG_6858-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" />No. 2 || 6-0 G/W [player_tooltip player_id="148861" first="Flau’jae" last="Johnson"] – Sprayberry
<em>(Up from No. 22)
</em></strong>Flau’Jae Johnson became a household name nationally with her play over the summer with FBC Bouncenation Jay. The big guard can play almost every position imaginable and can do so with flare and ferocity. She’s a big-game star that loves the competition and the crowd. Smooth with the ball, Johnson can drop defenders while she slides her way to the basket. Johnson’s length and playmaking ability has cemented her as a High Major prospect and one of the state’s best regardless of classification.
<strong>No. 9 || 6-1 SF [player_tooltip player_id="148863" first="Claire" last="Davis"] – Cass<img class="wp-image-186508 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/07/Claire-Davis-2-e1594240014426-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />
<em>(Up from No. 37)
</em></strong>Throughout of the summer, [player_tooltip player_id="148863" first="Claire" last="Davis"] could be seen busting High Major forwards regularly. Her mixture of toughness and skill gives her a clear advantage over everyone she plays against. Davis is efficient in the high post as a scorer and passer, rugged on the low block as a rebounder and effective in the paint as a shot blocker. She has all the tools to become a D-I player with continued focus.
<strong>No. 14 || 5-10 CG [player_tooltip player_id="195600" first="Ky’Shonna" last="Brown"] – Josey
<em>(Unranked)
</em></strong>D-I offers have poured in for the long athletic guard. High Major programs have made her a priority. Brown has a quick first step and can score at multiple levels. She has a nice floater in the lane and can drill the three when left open.
<strong>No. 19 || 6-3 PF [player_tooltip player_id="210373" first="Ella" last="Boyle"] – Holy Spirit Prep<img class="wp-image-213501 size-thumbnail alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/Ella-Boyle-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" />
<em>(Unranked)
</em></strong>Leaving Roswell to play for her travel ball coach at Holy Spirit Prep, [player_tooltip player_id="210373" first="Ella" last="Boyle"] is loaded with potential. She’s got great size and has very good mobility. As the summer went on, she became more and more comfortable driving the ball and drawing fouls. She’s able to stretch the floor and shoot the three as well. Boyle is trending in the right direction and could be one of the state’s best bigs this upcoming season.
<strong>No. 22 || 5-7 SG [player_tooltip player_id="210306" first="Joelle" last="Snyder"] – Lakeview Academy
<em>(Unranked)
</em></strong>[player_tooltip player_id="210306" first="Joelle" last="Snyder"] is ready to climb even higher. She’s a scorer that already has a 40-point game under her belt. Now that sister Eliza is at Mercer, Snyder will see even more shots but more defenders as well. The sharpshooter holds an offer from Anderson.
<strong>No. 24 || 5-10 CG [player_tooltip player_id="194708" first="Cayla" last="Cowart"] – West Forsyth<img class="wp-image-206805 size-thumbnail alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/8_Cayla-Cowart_2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />
<em>(Unranked)
</em></strong>The ambidextrous playmaker has gained our attention. With solid size on the perimeter and high IQ, [player_tooltip player_id="194708" first="Cayla" last="Cowart"] is a very good prospect moving forward. She sees the floor with great vision and finishes with either hand. Cowart could see a big season on the horizon with college offers starting to materialize.
