#16 Allison Undlin Allison Undlin 6'4" | C Mohalll-Lansford Sherwood | 2023 State ND - Mohall-Lansford Sherwood - (6’2/C/2023) - Allison is a great addition to the rankings as she moves well at 6’2 and is a rebounding and shot-blocking stud. Teams have trouble scoring over her and she’s a paint protector. If memory serves correct, she led North Dakota in total blocked shots last season. Not entirely skilled with the ball in her possession, but gets a ton of offensive rebounds for easy near-hoop looks. #27 Kaitlyn Zook Kaitlyn Zook 5'6" | CG Garrison | 2023 State ND - Garrison - (5’6/SG/2023) - A solid two-guard for Garrison that plays her role well as a three-point threat and superb quickness on the defensive side of the ball. Most of her shots come from three as she does a good job at spacing the floor for Garrison and her teammates. Kaitlyn has a toughness with her on-ball defense as she gives great pressure and doesn't back-peddle unnecessarily and holds her ground very well. Garrison has great up-and-coming talent and a bright future with their team. #28 Adison Sagaser Adison Sagaser 5'8" | SG Bismarck Legacy | 2023 State ND - Bismarck Legacy - (5’8/SG/2023) - Adison is a long 5’8 and is a smooth glider as a runner up and down the court. Good quickness to go with her overall speed. Has a smooth stroke out to three-point land. Great use of arms and in good defensive positioning. Able to play tight man defense. Mainly a JV player on such a deep Legacy roster, Adison has also appeared in 11 varsity games so she has a bright future going forward as a prospect. Her long frame and fluid movement will benefit her greatly in the competitive WDA. #29 Mia Aberle Mia Aberle 5'7" | CG Surrey | 2023 State ND - Surrey - (5’7/CG/2023) - A talented left-handed guard that has a lethal pump-fake and mid-range game on the offensive end. Matched up with one the most talented scoring guards in the state in . She didn't shut Ellie down by any means but she showed a great ability to stay with such a quick and talented guard. Showed good conditioning and elite first-step quickness on D. #31 Deanna Heinze Deanna Heinze 5'7" | SG Glenburn | 2023 State ND - Glenburn- (5’7/SG/2023) - Deanna is a guard that finishes inside very well for Glenburn.

A defender that puts herself in great positioning and is also actively trying to make plays. #41 Suede Daly Suede Daly 5'7" | SG Ray | 2023 State ND - Ray High School - (5’7/SG/2023) - A guard that plays smart and sound, and can stroke the three with great form. Passes up-court well against the press. Sits in great defensive positioning, knowing ball and man. Suede may be somewhat of an unknown but she should be considered a potential prospect at the next level with her basketball IQ and solid skill-set and three-point ability. #72 Karli Klein Karli Klein 5'11" | PF Garrison | 2023 State ND - Garrison - (5’10/PF/2023) - Karli battles hard, is highly active, and has endless effort.

She’s best at going into her three with some forward movement towards the hoop. #78 Avery Rath Avery Rath 5'6" | PG Kidder County | 2023 State ND - Kidder County - (5’6/PG/2023) - Avery at #78 could be even higher up the rankings after seeing her ability more recently. Excellent ball-handling ability and court vision and awareness. A swarming defender in the press that has no letup and is full-throttle. A threat on the court, especially from three, where her team will run her off screens to get her clean looks.
