The class of 2024 player rankings were initially released this past week. While this was the first release, here are some of the players that made big jumps after our November article highlighting some of the 2024 players that were on our watch list.
Jamesha Card Jamesha Card 5'10" | PF South Broward | 2024 State FL (South Broward HS / Hollywood Eagles) 5’8 Wing/Forward
Jamesha is a versatile wing/forward who can play multiple positions and is a bit of a hybrid player. I wouldn’t specifically name any one thing that she does great, but she plays tough, physical and is always productive filling up the stat sheet in a variety of ways!
Lexi Blue Lexi Blue 6'1" | SF Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL (Lake Highland Prep / FGB) 6’0 Wing
It was an oversight leaving Blue off the initial watch list in October. We have seen Blue over the last 2-3 years and she continues to improve her skill set while consistently getting taller and longer. Blue upside is off the charts and she is having a solid Freshman campaign for the #1 High School team in the country, Lake Highland Prep.
Jada Eads Jada Eads 5'6" | PG Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL (Wekiva HS / Central Florida Elite) 5’6 Point Guard
Eads has been on the map but the numbers she is putting up for Wekiva are impossible to ignore! The 5’6 Guard has Wekiva off to a 14-3 start with impressive wins vs Seffner Christian, Colonial, Ribault, Spruce Creek, and West Orange.
Briana Rivera Briana Rivera 5'7" | CG Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL (Lake Highland Prep / Central Florida Elite) 5’7 Guard
Rivera is a major contributor for Lake Highland Prep along with Lexi Blue Lexi Blue 6'1" | SF Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL , helping them to an 11-0 start and a # 1 national ranking. Rivera has been on the scene through exposure basketball with Central Florida Elite but has been having a bit of a coming out party this season including an impressive performance in Myrtle Beach where she helped Lake Highland Prep bring home the United Bank Holiday Invitational with the her impressive outside shooting!
Sydney Roundtree Sydney Roundtree 6'0" | PF Bishop Kenny | 2024 State FL (Bishop Kenny / FGB) 6’0 Forward
Roundtree is playing a ton of minutes for Bishop Kenny as a Freshman for one of the states’ top high school programs. The 6’0 versatile athlete can play both the wing and forward spot and has caught the attention of several major programs including picking up a scholarship offer from Ohio State.
Khadee Hession Khadee Hession 5'10" | CG St Thomas Aquinas | 2024 State FL (American Heritage Delray) 5’6 Guard
Hession got some varsity experience at Miami Country Day as an 8th grader but mainly played JV. She transferred to American Heritage Delray and has helped give the Lady Stallions four players averaging double digits. Her Freshman campaign has been impressive as she is 3rd on the team in scoring at 11.8 PPG, 2nd on team in rebounding at 5.6 RPG, and leads the team in assists (5.6) and steals (3.4). She is one of the state’s most talented players and has a major upside as she continues to improve.
Charisse Martin Charisse Martin 5'7" | CG Blanche Ely | 2024 State FL (Miami Country Day / Miami Suns) 5’7 Guard
Charisse also mainly got JV minutes last year at Miami Country Day with some spot minutes. She had a solid spring/summer for the Miami Suns and has grown into a bigger role with Miami Country Day. Her combination of athleticism, strength, and size allows her to be effective on both ends of the floor.
Shakirah Edwards Shakirah Edwards 5'10" | PG Rutherford | 2024 State FL (Rutherford / FBC) 5’10 Guard
Edwards is having a huge Freshman season at Rutherford averaging 17.3 points per game to lead the team while also leading the team in rebounding at 7.3 per game. The 5’10 Guard can play point guard, shooting guard, and the wing spot and is an impressive scorer including two 30-point performances in December vs West Florida and Marianna.
Shania Swan Shania Swan 5'8" | SF Norland | 2024 State FL (Norland / GT Queens) 5’7 Guard/Wing
Swan has been a solid contributor for the GT Queens program the last few years who has continued to improve each year. She has good size and strength at 5.7. Dade County (Miami area) got off to a late start due to COVID-19 guidelines, but Swan is the teams 2nd leading scorer including a 16-point performance vs Cardinal Gibbons just after Christmas. Coach Carla Harris is giving her the green light as she is averaging over 12 shots per game!
Kamryn Corporan Kamryn Corporan 5'3" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2024 State FL (Mogsignor Pace HS / Miami Suns) 5’3 Point Guard
Corporan ran point guard for the Miami Suns Black and Red teams this spring and summer and had several solid performances. Her transition to high school at Pace has given her the ability to have the ball in her hands a lot and run the show. Head Coach Pauletta Roberts has given Corporan the keys to the team and letting her initiate the offense and look to score every time she touches it. She is the team’s leading scorer at 15.6 points per game and Pace is 7-4 through the first half of the season including an impressive at the Palm Beach Shootout.
