‘24 Top 150: Welcome to the Maine Event

Maine is well represented in the ’24 Top 150 with 7 prospects in the top 55. Some of these athletes have even received offers from colleges over the summer. Below are the highly touted prospects from the state. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334235" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/27007024_Unknown-crop-1112x730-1633101302-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="296790" first="Maddie" last="Fitzpatrick"] - Cheverous - 5’10’’ - CG ’24 Rank: #8 Fitzpatrick might have the highest IQ of anyone in the ’24 class. She understands the game so well, which is why she can be the primary ball-handler for her team. Fitzpatrick’s size is a problem for opposing point guards. She moves the ball well on offense, cuts hard to the hoop, and can shoot efficiently from the outside. At 5’10, Fitzpatrick is a lot to handle at both guard spots, and on defense, she is one of the best. Her closeouts are textbook; she moves east to west well; and her size allows her to cut off passing angles and force turnovers. Her play didn’t go unnoticed as Quinnipiac gave her an offer over the summer.   <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334236" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/08/IMG_8877-scaled-crop-1707x1121-1633101343-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="315376" first="Isabelle" last="Allen"] - Central High - 5’10" - CG ’24 Rank: #9 One of the biggest storylines of the summer was Allen verbally committing to the University of Maine. If you saw Allen perform over the last couple of months, you would understand why. My first glimpse of Allen was her walking the ball up the court, hitting the defender with a quick hesitation before rising up for a pull-up three-pointer. I was stunned because I hadn’t seen anyone do that in the ’24 class with that level of confidence. Allen takes command of the game. She knows where she wants to go on the court, knows how to get there, and executes at a high level. Allen is a special player who is a must watch prospect.   <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334237" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/08/IMG_8874-scaled-crop-1707x1121-1633101381-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="315377" first="Natalie" last="Beaudoin"] - Lewiston - 6’0’’ - SG ’24 Rank: #15 Beaudoin’s ceiling is a top 10 player in New England. I think she is such a unique prospect because no one with her size and length can score as efficiently as she can at all three levels. Her three-point shot? Money. Mid-range package? Beaudoin can beat you in that area too. Can she post up? Absolutely. She is not afraid to take advantage of a size mismatch, and instead of settling at the perimeter, will expose the player on the block. You can play her at the 2-4, and Beaudoin will do damage at all of those positions on offense.   <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334276" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/08/fullsizeoutput_7d21-crop-999x656-1633106204-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="295913" first="Emma" last="Lizotte"] - Cheverous - 6’2’’ - PF ’24 Rank: #22 I saw Lizotte play a few times over the summer, and she is a monster on the boards. Due to her size and strength she always gets excellent postion underneath to snatch rebounds off the rim.. Lizotte is a double-double nightmare who will terrorize opponents game after game. She can also do damage away from the basket as well with her reliable mid-range shot.   [caption id="attachment_334274" align="alignnone" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-334274" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/4CFF1603-AD72-4D30-8835-9B255772D98C-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> Photo: [player_tooltip player_id="299627" first="Juliette" last="Tarsa"][/caption] [player_tooltip player_id="315378" first="Addisen" last="Sulikowski"] - Thornton Academy - 5’10’’ - SG ’24 Rank: #45 If you are looking for a shooter to hit tough long-range bombs confidently, I present to you, [player_tooltip player_id="315378" first="Addisen" last="Sulikowski"]. She can absolutely cook from the outside and will dominate a game from the three-point line alone. Sulikowski put on a show over the summer, and her size and quick release can light up a defense in the blink of an eye. She has a high ceiling, too. As her ball-handling continues to develop, Sulikowski will become a versatile scoring threat at all three levels.   <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334257" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/08/IMG_8821-scaled-crop-1660x1090-1633105524-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="315683" first="Lucy" last="Wiles"] - Hampden - 5’7"- CG ’24 Rank: #50 I wrote about Wiles right after the Maine Top 30 Camp ended, and I cannot get over how awesome she was on Day 2. Offensively she popped and was scoring in bunches all day long. It is hard to find players at her size in the ’24 class who can score as consistently and efficiently as she did over the summer. When Wiles gets into a zone and heats up from the field, she proves that she is difficult to contain.

I thought she showed her versatility by defending bigger forwards like [player_tooltip player_id="184116" first="Lizzy" last="Gruber"] well and switching off onto a wing, and staying in front of them. Voteur is a strong finisher around the basket and is productive going downhill and creating her shot. Voteur is a player to keep an eye on, as I believe she has a shot at cracking the top 50.
