Continue ReadingBeginning with the top ten, I am thrilled to be able to introduce the 23 additions to the Kansas class of 2024 prospect rankings. As with the 2022 and 2023 classes, I learned of a few players who are not playing this season. The net number now stands at 126. A substantial amount of work goes into developing and revising player rankings. To get an idea of how they are developed review my most recent article on the topic of rankings. One thing I can say is I am always discovering players new to me. Many on this list are new-to-me discoveries. One was added who was erroneously included in past 2023 ranks. Enjoy this look the players, listed in rank order.
Dominique Mack
Dominique
Mack
6'2" | SF
Olathe North | 2024
KS
, 6’3″, C, Olathe North – Mack is a transfer from Omaha Central High School, Nebraska. PGH Nebraska scout Spencer wrote in July 2021 that “Dominique busted out onto the scene with her showing early this Spring at the Legacy Classic in Omaha. She showed length and a wide range of skills and a full skill-set. Immense upside.”
Alana Shetlar Alana Shetlar 6'1" | PF Andover | 2024 State KS , 6’1″, PF, Andover – Shetler’s ability to elevate on shots, rebounds, and shot blocks combines well with her length and quick release. She shoots the three well off the catch and hurts defenses with her consistency scoring in the mid-range.
Kaelee Washington Kaelee Washington 5'10" | PF Santa Fe Trail | 2024 State KS , 5’10”, PF, Sante Fe Trail – Washington has good length, transition speed and athleticism. She is able to slide between defenders on the finish and stay with the ball in transition to challenge shots. Often plays on the top of the zone.
Ashley VanElders Ashley VanElders 6'3" | SF Shawnee Mission South | 2024 State KS , 6’3″, SF/PF, Shawnee Mission South – The versatile VanElders moves well without the ball and can heat up from the arc. She competes well inside on both ends, including altering and blocking shots without fouling. As she gains strength I expect her turnovers will drop.
Kylie Disbrow

Disbrow
6'0" | PF
Anderson County | 2024
State
KS
, 6’0″, PF, Anderson County – Disbrow debutes after being errantly included in the 2023 class rankings in the previous update. She is a developing young big with some size who can hit the mid-range jumper. She earned a spot on the 2022 Yates Center all-tournament team. In January 2021 she recorded the first triple double in school history with 22 points, 18 rebounds, and 11 blocks.
Paige Cheffey Paige Cheffey 6'0" | PF Shawnee Mission Northwest | 2024 State KS , 5’10”, PF, Shawnee Mission Northwest – At the Mid America Classic Cheffey was a difference maker off the bench. She had the build and physical ability to bang with opposing bigs and showed a solid overall skill set. Cheffey elevated and rounded well, blocked shots, ran the two-on-one break well, showed great hands, and has the ability to finish quickly off the rebound.
Dominique Schutte
Dominique
Schutte
5'11" | SF
Halstead | 2024
State
KS
, 5’11”, SF/SG, Halstead – Shutte is long, heady, a good perimeter shooter and a solid ball handler. In a early January upset of Hillsboro she canned 7 three balls, finishing with 23 points. She does a good job of boxing out on both ends of the floor when the shot goes up.
Lily Brown Lily Brown 6'3" | C St. Mary's Colgan | 2024 State KS , 6’3″, C, St. Mary’s Colgan – Brown had a huge year for the Panthers. A player head coach Abby Farabi describes as a gifted athlete who can jump out of the gym and has a nice touch around the basket. Averaging 20+ ppg in Dec. 2021. Coach Farabi DM says is a really gifted athlete and track first. She is about 6 foot and she can run with any of the girls. She also jumps out of the gym and has a nice touch around the basket. We are working on finishing post moves and her perimeter shot. She has really great handles for her size
Sadie Spray
Sadie
Spray
5'8" | PG
Great Bend | 2024
State
KS
, 5’8″, PF, Great Bend – While Spray averaged 3.7 turnovers per game for the 7-13 Panthers those turnovers are a result of the ferocity and toughness with which she plays. Spray uses her length, hand speed, handles, and quickness to split defenders on the offensive end and closes the door on the other end by pinching on drivers and sliding from the weak side to give help. The second leading scorer at 11 points she had a career high career high 24 points, 19 rebounds, 8 steals, and 5 blocks against Buhler. Spray also averaged 5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and an assist. She shot 45% from the floor, including 38% from three, and shot 64% from the line (57/89).
Kodi Greer Kodi Greer 5'6" | PG Basehor-Linwood | 2024 State KS , 5’5″, PG, Basehor-Linwood – Greer is among the most versatile perimeter shooters you will find. Not only can she score from everywhere around the arc she also can make them off the one dribble move, off the step and catch, from the off-the-catch jump shoot, and off the transition dribble. She also moves well without the ball. She earned a spot on the all-showcase team at the 810Varsity Showcase.
