Some of the better prospects in Washington come out of the Central Washington region covering from Yakima to Tri-Cities areas. This group has a couple of clear-cut Division 1 prospects and other players for different levels of college as well. These are just some of the top players from the area, not all. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Diamond Prospect</strong></span></h3> 2023 6’6 PF [player_tooltip player_id="115393" first="Olivia" last="Anderson"] (Ellensburg HS) - The top prospect in the region and state and one of the top prospects in the entire country with her elite length, mobility and athleticism. Anderson’s three ball has really skyrocketed and it’s made her a difficult matchup for most defenders. As she continues to grow stronger and develop in her physicality, the potential is limitless. SEC and ACC schools are the latest to get involved in her recruitment. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Next Up In Tri-Cities</strong></span></h3> 2023 5’9 CG [player_tooltip player_id="115419" first="Nikole" last="Thomas"] (Kamiakin HS) - Lefty Division 1 offered prospect out of Kamiakin High School. She is a good athlete on both sides of the ball and she has a solid basketball IQ as a coach’s daughter. Thomas hold an offer from WSU among other schools. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Super Shooter</strong></span></h3> 2023 5’7 G [player_tooltip player_id="115407" first="Rylee" last="Leishman"] (Ellensburg HS) - One of the top shooters in all of Washington with her sweet shooting stroke from the perimeter. Leishman is capable of getting hot from behind the line and could find a nice role at next level as a zone buster. A hard working prospect that will be able to help college program. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Standout In Yakima</strong></span></h3> [player_tooltip player_id="115410" first="Nevaeh" last="Patterson"] (Davis HS) - An impact varsity player since her freshman year that would have put together a really strong sophomore season for Coach Akil White at Davis High School. Patterson is strong, crafty and can make plays off the bounce.
