The holiday season is a time for many good things. When it comes to Prep Girls Hoops Indiana, it’s a time for our midseason update to the rankings in all graduating classes. Not only have we updated our rankings, but we have expanded our rankings as well. As it relates to the 2022 class specifically, we have expanded from 175 prospects to 200 prospects listed. If you refer back to a November 29 article titled “Rankings Preview: 2022”, I touched on the probability of Isabel Davis Isabel Davis 5'7" | CG Bishop Chatard | 2022 State IN , Lily Ernstes Lily Ernstes 5'8" | SF Jennings County | 2022 State IN , Andrea Justis Andrea Justis 6'1" | C Columbus North | 2022 State IN , Jasiah Scaife Jasiah Scaife 5'10" | PF Muncie Central | 2022 State IN , and Jayda Shannon all joining the rankings in this update, and yes, they are all on there. With this article, I wanted to discuss five more prospects who have also found their way into the Class of 2022 rankings during this update.

For two and a half seasons now, Emily has been a “do-everything” type of player for the Burris Lady Owls. This year she has literally done everything for Burris, as she leads them in scoring (19.3), rebounding (8.2), assists (3.6), and steals (4.4) from her wing position. She can handle the ball and start offense on occasion, she can attack the basket to score, she’s a nice mid-range shooter, plus she shoots it above the 30-percentile mark from outside. I also like her length, fluidity, and ability to defend multiple types of players. She’s kind of a “plug-and-play” kid who can help you play big or small depending on the other pieces throughout the roster…her versatility is very intriguing.

Johwen isn’t very tall, but she’s one of those kids who is just a ball of energy, and she makes plays because of it at both ends of the floor. She has really good length at her height, she possesses extreme speed and quickness, plus she’s a bouncy athlete who moves well in all directions. She can be a lock-down defender 84-feet, but she’s also a problem disrupting passing lanes from help-side. Offensively, she has an attack-first mentality, and she can get to the basket with ease at times. She does find teammates when open, but if she can learn how to change speeds and not always go 100 MPH, I think it will really open up more opportunities for her to score and/or distribute.

Haley is still somewhat of a developing post prospect, but she has come quite a long way since this time a year ago. She has a solid frame with some length, she might still squeeze out another inch, and she plays with a good motor and runs the floor hard both directions. She is constantly working on her skillset, and you can see the growth each time she takes the floor. Earlier in the Summer, she wasn’t as dynamic scoring the ball, but by the Fall she was much more confident, assertive, and instinctual with her play. That will only continue to improve with more reps. Defensively, she creates quite the presence in the paint, and I think she has become a really nice help-side post.
Lauren Smith

Cowan | 2022

I touched on Lauren briefly earlier this season, and I think she’s going to be a really nice small college prospect who schools will really like once they’re able to see her. She has great length and a fluidity/smoothness to her game. She plays with a great deal of confidence, she can create offense for herself or others, plus she has a nice-looking stroke from 3-point range. She is a solid on-ball defender, but she always creates a lot of deflections/steals from the help-side. I think the biggest change in her game this year is that she looks stronger and a little more confident. With another year of tightening her skillset and making her jumper even more consistent, I think coaches will really like her.
Sade Smith

6'0" | C
Pike | 2022

, 2022, 6-0 C, Pike H.S.
The second Smith on this list, Sade has come a long way since I saw her in the Summer of 2019. She has gotten taller, much stronger, and more physical around the block. She does a really nice job of establishing position at both ends of the floor, she holds her seal fairly well offensively, and she has started to score it a bit more consistently, and in a variety of ways. She can make a traditional drop-step move to finish, or she can reverse-pivot and shoot over defenders, plus she’s somewhat comfortable playing in the mid-post as well. Defensively, she will root out opponents and keep them away from the basket, and she does a nice job of boxing out and locating the ball on rebounds.
