Winding down with our coverage of 2022 rankings coverage, we now review the center position. The center position is not highly recruited for this class and the overall lack of depth is shown with just five player listed at center, although there are some players listed at "power forward" that could be argued they should be listed at center. Nonetheless, just a single player has committed for college basketball to date.
6’4 Center [player_tooltip player_id="27938" first="Camille" last="Jentzsch"] of Lake Stevens High School is the lone center in the class that has committed.

Rounding out the center position is Nathan Hale High School’s 6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="232425" first="Alma" last="Rack"], Kennewick High School’s 6’2 [player_tooltip player_id="28423" first="Alexis" last="Stein"] and 5’11 [player_tooltip player_id="257530" first="Natalie" last="Brown"] of Central Valley High School. Small colleges could find each of these girls as quality players depending on their exact conference and level. Rack has great length and some natural tools that can be developed at the collegiate level. Stein is physical, strong and provides inside presence that can help a program. Brown is a lefty center that works hard to maximize her playing ability.
