8 of the top 10 prospects in the class of 2022 have made their decisions. We check in on some the state’s top prospects and their decisions.
Fernanda Ovalle Fernanda Ovalle 5'11" | SF Montverde Academy | 2022 State FL (Montverde Academy) is the latest member of the 2022 class to make a decision. The 6’0 shooting guard / wing who is from Santiago, Chile has been part of the recent success at Montverde Academy for several seasons. Ranked # 9 in the 2022 rankings, Ovalle is a skilled offensive scorer, who can knock it down from deep as well as put it to the floor driving baseline to get to the rim. She is extremely efficient on the offensive end, shooting a high percentage, and has excellent court vision. Ovalle verbally committed to Xavier University after visiting the campus in Cincinnati, Ohio.
It seems like ages ago that # 3 Nyla Harris Nyla Harris 6'2" | PF Lake Highland Prep | 2022 State #34 Nation FL , # 4 Kailyn Gilbert Kailyn Gilbert 5'8" | CG IMG Academy | 2022 State FL , and # 6 Savannah Henderson Savannah Henderson 6'1" | SF Timber Creek | 2022 State #46 Nation FL made their verbal commitments. The three of them were some of the earliest decision makers with Harris choosing Louisville, Gilbert choosing Arizona, and Henderson choosing to stay in state and play for her mom at UCF.
# 10 Addison Potts Addison Potts 6'0" | CG South Fort Myers | 2022 State FL was one of the earliest players nationally to make her decision when she verbally committed to Missouri in 8th grade. Potts switched paths last month when she decommitted from Missouri and then verbally committed to Purdue just 4 days later. Several weeks after Potts committed to Purdue, Head Coach Sharon Versyp stepped down and Associate Head Coach Katie Gearlds was promoted to Head Coach.
# 8 Jordana Codio Jordana Codio 6'1" | SF Montverde Academy | 2022 State FL verbally committed to Wisconsin over two years ago but after a coaching change de-committed and has since chosen to take her talents to the University of Texas in Austin. The Longhorns went 21-10 and made it all the way to the Elite 8 under new Head Coach Vic Shaefer.
# 2 Tonie Morgan Tonie Morgan 5'9" | PG FSUHS | 2022 State #18 Nation FL and # 5 Sydney Shaw Sydney Shaw 5'9" | SG DME Academy | 2022 State FL have been two of the state’s top scoring guards for several years having been impact varsity players since their Freshman year and having been on the travel circuit for quite some time. Tonie is headed to the ACC and will play at Georgia Tech, while Shaw is headed to the SEC and will suit it up for new Head Coach Johnnie Harris and the Auburn Tigers next season.
That leaves # 1 Janiah Barker Janiah Barker 6'2" | SF Montverde Academy | 2022 State #3 Nation FL and # 7 Amiya Evans Amiya Evans 6'2" | PF DME Academy | 2022 State FL . Both were on campuses for official visits this past weekend and both have released a top 5. Barker was on campus at the University of South Carolina while Evans was on her official visit at the University of Miami. Barker will choose between South Carolina, Louisville, Duke, Ole Miss, and Georgia while Evans will decide between Miami, Kentucky, UCF, Mississippi State, and Arizona State.
