Caryn Yoder
Caryn
Yoder
5'2" | PG
Hesston | 2022
State
KS
, 5’2″, PG, Hesston – Yoder heads this second group, debuting at #180. She is physical and persistent, including offensively. Attacks defensive gaps well to draw defenders and then dishes to open teammate.
Campbell Heller Campbell Heller 5'7" | PG Perry-LeCompton | 2022 State KS , 5’7″, PG, Perry-LeCompton – Heller is next in line, coming in at #181. Heller has good transition speed and can create off the dribble. She has 25’ range and is a streaky perimeter shooter with a quick release.
Lily Judd

5'10" | SF
West Franklin | 2022
State
KS
, 5’10″, SF, West Franklin – Judd comes into the ranks at #182. At the November 2020 Lady Prospects camp she showed the ability to move into space, sit down defensively, and elevate on her jumpers. While not a great perimeter shooter her mid-range shot is solid. Judd has a athletic build and is a physically strong defender.
Cameron Cleveland Cameron Cleveland 5'5" | PG Minneapolis | 2022 State KS , 5’5″, PG, Minneapolis – Cleveland is an debuts in the ranks at #193. She has solid handles and has shown flashes of being even stronger in the open court. She has quick hands, speed with the ball, athleticism, and 20’ range.
Tatem Tietjens-Peters

Tietjens-Peters
5'4" | PG
Beloit | 2022
State
KS
, 5’4″, PG, Beloit – Tieges-Peters is a good mid-range shooter who I look for to improve her three point accuracy. She has quick hands and solid rebounding ability. Tieges-Peters enters the ranks at #194.
Emma Bezdek Emma Bezdek CG Kapaun Mt. Carmel | 2022 State KS , SG, Kapaun Mt. Carmel – Entering the ranks at #197, Bezdek is a player I fully expect to see rocket up the rankings in the upcoming year. Against Wichita East’s guards in mid-February she showed good transition speed, the ability to defend well in the full court, and otherwise be awful sticking defensively against East’s quickness.
Lacey Farney Lacey Farney 5'1" | PG Sterling | 2022 State KS , 5’1″, PG, Sterling – Debuting at #198, Farney has game on both ends of the floor. A aggressive full court defender, Farney commonly can be found drawing her opponent’s point guard. She also creates well, using a good head back to blow by defenders.
Samantha Ramsey Samantha Ramsey 5'11" | PF Central Christian | 2022 State KS , 5’11″, PF, Central Christian – Ramsey will be one to possibly develop into a stretch four. Entering the ranks at #199, Ramsey has a good frame and solid transition speed. She finishes solidly off the power dribble on both sides of the block and has a growing back-to-basket game. A competitive defender, she walls up well against basket drives.
Lakyn Leupold Lakyn Leupold 5'10" | PF Hiawatha | 2022 State KS , 5’10″, PF, Hiawatha – Leupold joins the ranks at #204. Leupold has good length and shot blocking ability with control including by going up with both hands straight up. While I need to see more of her offensive game, Leupold elevates well, is an active rebounder, and has good transition speed
Aleksandra Duda
Aleksandra
Duda
6'4" | C
Life Prep | 2022
State
KS
, 6’4″, C, Life Prep – #210. Duda is a player I look forward to seeing through the summer. Coach Jeff Henry describes her as a player who runs like a deer and has great hands, a combination not usually found with the size Duda has. She does step out and hit the three ball. I fully anticipate Duda climbing the ranks by summer’s end.
McKenna Minneman McKenna Minneman 5'2" | PG Marysville | 2022 State KS , 5’2″, PG, Marysville – The class’s last debuting player is Minneman, entering at #212. She has quick hands and feet, good handles against pressure, is fast with the ball in transition, and has solid strength behind her passes.
