The 2025 Rankings: Rounding Out the Top-10

Today we will finish taking a look at the top-10 of the 2025 class before we move on to taking a look at the rest of the best. As I’ve said over and over, this class is absolutely loaded, from top to bottom. These players - numbers seven through ten - are incredibly talented and deserve just as much attention as the previous groups. Enjoy! <strong>No. 7 - [player_tooltip player_id="310154" first="Laynee" last="Stanley"] | 6-0 PF | Kansas, OK | <a href="https://x.com/StanleyLaynee">@StanleyLaynee</a></strong> I’ve seen Laynee play at several different stops over the last couple of years and I can honestly say that amongst these top 10 or so players, she has come the farthest. She seems like a very hard worker who has truly earned everything that has come her way. She is showing a lot more confidence since the first time I saw her and has become a true leader on any team that she plays on. As a big, her footwork on the offensive end has improved to the point that she is truly elite amongst this crop of high school athletes. She has incredible touch around the rim - a nice, soft shot that goes in more often than not. Stanley can hit from outside when called upon, but her true calling card may just be her defense. Honestly, enter the lane at your own peril when she is patrolling the paint. She is a shot-swatter-supreme and that may just be the No. 1 reason that schools like Oklahoma State have offered her recently - with plenty more to come. <strong>No. 8 - [player_tooltip player_id="309986" first="Seleh" last="Harmon"] | 5-9 CG | Norman | <a href="https://x.com/SelehHarmon">@SelehHarmon</a></strong> Seleh has really stepped up for her Trae Young squad this summer and it helped her to end up in the top-10 in the state. Seleh can flat out get buckets. She has the handles, the shot, the speed - everything a coach could ask of her. Harmon is 5-9, but has long arms and it looks like she has room to grow. Out of the top-10 players on the list, I’d have to say that Seleh has the most potential to shoot to the top with a little bit of development and a great high school season with the defending champion Norman Tigers. Being coached by head coach Frankie Parks with both Trae Young and Norman will be a huge difference maker for her. She does everything that a coach could want on both the offensive and defensive end. She can hit all of the shots and is definitely not scared to defend. Harmon is going to be one to watch and it is going to be fun to watch the D-I offers roll in for her. <strong>No. 9 - [player_tooltip player_id="310151" first="Paige" last="Langley"] | 5-7 G/F | Tulsa CHEF | <a href="https://x.com/Paigelangley_">@Paigelangley_</a></strong> Even before I had seen Paige play in person, I had numerous grassroots coaches tell me that she was one of the top players in the state - even as part of the absolutely loaded 2025 class. She is a fiery player with a go-get-it mentality, as in - if she wants the bucket, she will go and get it. She loves to finish at the rim and handles the ball as if it is just an extension of her arm. She keeps it close, dribbles low to the ground and therefore rarely turns the ball over. Speaking of turnovers, she also forces her share of turnovers with her quickness and ability to read the play. Don’t make any lazy passes while Langley is on the defensive end of the court. the CHEF Arrows are going to be fun to watch this season due in large part to the ability of [player_tooltip player_id="310151" first="Paige" last="Langley"], but more importantly, due to her ability to make everyone around her better. <strong>No. 10 - [player_tooltip player_id="310152" first="Talia" last="Vann"] | 6-1 F/C | Norman | <a href="https://x.com/taliavann">@taliavann</a></strong> Talia may have exploded in height recently as video seems to show her standing at about 6-3! From the famous Vann family of girls basketball royalty in Oklahoma, Talia is just the latest in a string of very, very good basketball players. She will be joining her older sister [player_tooltip player_id="238724" first="Zya" last="Vann"] on the Norman Tigers squad who are defending champions and needless to say, heading into the 2021 season they are favorites yet again. Talia will be a HUGE part of that (pun intended). She is a strong inside presence, a shot swatting machine. Over the summer she has increased her range and shown the ability to hit from mid-range. It seems only a matter of time before she is scoring from all three levels and then will become an absolute nightmare to defend. She has good speed and handles and is not a weakness when having to step out and guard on the perimeter. Vann really does have a very well-rounded skill set, no doubt due to the high level of competition (and coaching) just within her immediate family. I look forward to watching her develop even more!
