Below are a couple of names from a long list of stock risers that are up for a big junior season and some that have given their commitment!
5 to 4. Katy Eidle Katy Eidle 5'11" | CG Hersey | 2023 State #45 Nation IL | 5’11 Elite Combo Guard | Hersey
The fluidity in her form and release from start to finish is incredible, and with a soft touch around the rim… she’s a real three-level threat. Recently committing to the storied University of Michigan… Katy has proven to be one of the best scorers in this class. Creativity, poise, and just pure talent is what she has, and Hersey has a star… that is nowhere near her potential.
6 to 5. Emily Fisher Emily Fisher 6'0" | SF Libertyville | 2023 State #48 Nation IL 6’0 | Elite Playmaking Forward | Libertyville
Emily’s game and strength is tailored for any system. There’s not a single drop-off between her offense and defense. Offensively, she has it all. Defensively, she gives her all. The University of Maryland was lucky to get her to bring her talents to the east coast. The future Terp is going to be a problem for a long time. The Top 5 is just another starting point.
14 to 12 Sophie Swanson Sophie Swanson 5'10" | SG Barrington | 2023 State IL | 5’10 Elite Combo Guard | Barrington
Sophie’s jumper is as fundamental as it gets. On every level, she can create & score. At the basket… both hands. Mid-range… a bucket. At the arc… consistent and confident. Defensively, her feet and hands are as quick as can be and she’s as tough as they come. Those D1 offers aren’t stopping anytime soon.
102 to 71 Bibi Mercado Bibi Mercado 5'5" | PG West Aurora | 2023 State IL | 5’5 Combo Guard |West Aurora
Fiesty, fearless and focused. The jump of 31 spots tells it all. Bibi plays the game with a purpose. On the defense or the offense her main goal is to win, whether it’s her matchup or the game.. just win. Her acceleration matched with her peak speed is a problem for any defender. Her creativity and strength around the rim is a game-changer as well. The backcourt in West Aurora will be one to keep an eye on.
65 to 60. Annalise Pietrzyk Annalise Pietrzyk 5'9" | SG Providence Catholic | 2023 State IL | 5’8 Scoring Guard | Providence Catholic
A “multiple threat” type of player. The combo guard out of Providence Catholic jumps up 5 spots to #60. Pietrzyk is a high-effort 2-way player. On both sides, she shows hustle and focus. Her motor is a talent within itself, she just never gives up. She shoots with confidence and attacks with aggression but patience. Annalise will be ready to have a great junior season.
98 to 70 Allie Heyer Allie Heyer 5'11" | SG Fenwick | 2023 State IL | 5’11 Shooting Guard | Fenwick
With a leap of 28 spots, the athletic 2 guard out of Fenwick has a simple but highly effective game. She can score spotting up, off the dribble, and off the catch with ease. On the defensive side, she consistently shows active hands and awareness. Allie’s versatility and length gives her an edge on most, if not all defenders. Fenwick is going to be a team to watch this season
39 to 30. Grace Koepke Grace Koepke 6'4" | PF Vernon Hills | 2023 State IL | 6’4 Stretch Post | Vernon Hills
Making her way to the #30 spot, Grace is a skilled post with all the tools. She can knock down the mid, bully in the paint, finesse on the block or simply just go to work. Her footwork is top tier and she has a touch around the rim that is effortless. Koepke’s playstyle is ahead of her time and it’s special to watch.
