No. 33 || 5-11 W [player_tooltip player_id="188313" first="Rose" last="Bone"] – Loganville Up from No. 93 Lenior-Rhyne is getting a versatile wing that can play inside and out. Bone has a nice jump shot that plays out to the three-point line. She’s able to take her man off the dribble and stop-and-pop from the mid-range. Bone has a strong athletic body and has no issue squaring her shoulders and scoring through defenders. No. 41 || 5-9 CG [player_tooltip player_id="186281" first="Imani" last="Smith"] – Hiram Up from No. 96 I think [player_tooltip player_id="186281" first="Imani" last="Smith"] has a chance to be one of the best late pickups in Georgia at the right program. She’s a dynamic guard equipped with length, athleticism and motor. She flies around the floor and swoops in for steals and rebounds. What makes her so good is she’s not just an athletic slasher, she’s a very good three-point shooter that can light it up from deep. Add in her on-ball defense and off-ball instincts and she’s a talented two-way prospect. No. 42 || 5-11 W [player_tooltip player_id="204673" first="Alexa" last="Geary"] – Sonoraville Up from No. 126 Georgia College has a building block in [player_tooltip player_id="204673" first="Alexa" last="Geary"]. Not only can she shoot the lights out from three, but she’s aggressive and athletic and can get to the rim and finish through contact. She’s a well-rounded scorer and a versatile piece that can help defend multiple spots. No. 45 || 5-5 PG [player_tooltip player_id="205261" first="Cortney" last="Gardner"] – Luella Up from No. 62 Coppin State is a getting a playmaker in [player_tooltip player_id="205261" first="Cortney" last="Gardner"]. She’s extremely skilled with the ball in her hands. Gardner is shifty, capable of breaking down defenders on the perimeter and getting to the hoop. She can be a flashy ball handler and distributor. Gardner excels in the open court in fast pace games. No. 54 || 5-10 W [player_tooltip player_id="195825" first="Nadya" last="McCown"] – Parkview Up from No. 74 [player_tooltip player_id="195825" first="Nadya" last="McCown"] helped transform Parkview from an average team into a very good one, capable of taking a deep run in the state tournament if healthy. McCown has carried the Panthers on numerous occasions with her three-point shot. She has improved her ball handling and is a solid rebounder. Schools looking for a shot-maker with a developing skill set will want to check in.
