Back in October we wrote about four of the eleven 2023 prospects having been verbally committed and who was next. Well, our class of 2023 number one overall player has made her decision. Let’s take a look an update on who is committed in the class of 2023 and Emma Risch Emma Risch 6'2" | PG Palm Bay | 2023 State #23 Nation FL recent decision to verbally commit to Notre Dame.
Class of 2023 # 1 Overall Player Emma Risch Emma Risch 6'2" | PG Palm Bay | 2023 State #23 Nation FL verbally commits to Notre Dame
Emma Risch Emma Risch 6'2" | PG Palm Bay | 2023 State #23 Nation FL (Palm Bay / East Coast United) – 6’2 Point Guard
Risch is the class of 2023 number one overall player and has held that spot for the last two years since the initial class of 2023 rankings have come out. At 6’2, she has been one of the most sought-after prospects in the state of Florida in quite some time. On a recent recruiting trip this past spring / summer, she visited the likes of Tennessee, NC State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisville, Kentucky, and several others all in one trip returning with scholarship offers from all of them (which we noted in a recruiting update article here). After careful consideration, she chose to further her academic and athletic career at the University of Notre Dame. In choosing to verbally commit to the Irish and play for Notre Dame Head Coach Niele Ivey, Risch joins a long line of point guard to be tutored under Coach Ivey including Lindsay Allen, Skylar Diggins, Jewell Lloyd, Jackie Young and a number of others.
Risch joins the following players who have already verbally committed that we wrote about last month HERE:
Taliah Scott Taliah Scott 5'8" | SG St. John's Country Day | 2023 State #31 Nation FL (St. Johns Country Day / FGB) – University of Arkansas
Jordyn Byrd Jordyn Byrd 6'3" | PF Cardinal Mooney | 2023 State #25 Nation FL (Cardinal Mooney / FGB) – Texas (Volleyball)
Emily Montes Emily Montes 5'9" | CG Palmer Trinity | 2023 State FL (Palmer Trinity / Team Knight) – Columbia University
Liv Fuller Liv Fuller 5'10" | SF Clearwater | 2023 State FL (Clearwater HS / FGB) – Georgia Southern
So we ask the question again, with Risch, Scott, Byrd, Montes, and Fuller all off the market, who is next? Will it be 6’2, do it all wing Chloe Kitts Chloe Kitts 6'2" | SF Faith Christian Academy | 2022 FL ? Will it be D’Yanis Jimenez D’Yanis Jimenez 5'9" | PG Charlotte | 2023 State FL (Charlotte / Miami Suns) who holds several in state offers? Maybe it will be Rhema Collins Rhema Collins 6'2" | SF Webb(TN) | 2023 TN who recruiting sky rocketed this summer picking up scholarship offers from Auburn, Southern Miss, FAU, Georgia Tech, Houston, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, St. Johns and West Virginia. Now that the class of 2022 has officially signed, we will be keeping an eye on who is next in the class of 2023.
