Continue ReadingWith our 2022 rankings released this week, there are a few players outside the top 10 who are likely to try and push their way up the rankings this summer. Here’s a look at some Juniors I think could move way up in the next year.
Amaya Asher Amaya Asher 5'7" | PG Central | 2023 State KY , Central – They didn’t have much of a season due to the JCPS delay and a Covid interruption but Amaya was the driving force to an undefeated season and a lot of momentum going into the postseason. Asher can score or facilitate for others and is able to bully smaller defenders and get to the rim.
Briante Gowdy Briante Gowdy 5'5" | SG Campbellsville | 2022 State KY , Campbellsville – Bree carries a large load at Campbellsville and has to do a lot for her team to be competitive. As a result, her shooting numbers this season have been pretty rough. She’s more likely to get a great evaluation when she plays AAU and has more talent around her. That should allow Gowdy to show off her playmaking abilities instead of having to carry a team with scoring.
Sereniti Webb Sereniti Webb 6'0" | PF Simon Kenton | 2022 State KY , Simon Kenton – Sereniti missed the season as she comes back from an ACL tear. Hopefully she gets back to 100% soon and can start moving back up the rankings like she was before her injury.
Austin Johnson Austin Johnson 5'11" | SG Ryle | 2023 State KY , Ryle – Austin sprang on the scene this season as a big part of Ryle’s success and could impress enough coaches this year to grab several offers. She’s an excellent slasher and capable three point shooter who is already used to maximizing her touches on offense and can take over games for short stretches.
Madelyn Lawson Madelyn Lawson 5'8" | SG Dixie Heights | 2022 State KY , Dixie Heights – Lawson missed most of two seasons with knee injuries but is back and having a fantastic Junior season. With her chance to impress this summer with a (hopefully) full AAU season ahead of us, Maddie could be a top 12-15 type player if she keeps being the consistent player she’s been so far this year.
