Which South Florida prospects could be number-one? Let’s try and make the argument.
Khyala Ngodu Khyala Ngodu 6'2" | PF Dillard | 2023 State FL – Dillard (PGH: 9)
Khyala Ngodu Khyala Ngodu 6'2" | PF Dillard | 2023 State FL has a lot to offer as a 6-foot-2 forward. She can score with her back to the basket or as a face up shooter. Specifically, Ngodu can connect from 12-15 feet. Her natural frame is also effective in the post. This allows her to be strong on the glass and as as shot blocker. It’s hard to deny Ngodu’s upside at 6-foot-2, especially when healthy.
Karina Gordon Karina Gordon 5'8" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL – St. Thomas Aquinas (PGH: 5)
Karina Gordon Karina Gordon 5'8" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL has been nothing but a winner during her career. The 5-foot-8 combo guard is a four-time state champion. That’s not an easy feat with all the talent we have here in the state. Gordon has the ball skill to score off the drive or in the open floor. In addition, she can pull up and knock down an open three. Gordon gives defenses a lot to game plan against.
Alancia Ramsey Alancia Ramsey 6'0" | PF St Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL – St. Thomas Aquinas (PGH: 4)
Alancia Ramsey Alancia Ramsey 6'0" | PF St Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL is a fighter around the paint. Few players have her level of tenacity and persistence near the rim. This is one reason why Ramsey is a consistent double-double. She will either finish off an initial attempt or putback. Ramsey will probably collect three or four rebounds based off her motor alone.
Kristina Godfrey Kristina Godfrey 5'7" | PG Miami Country Day | 2023 State FL – Miami Country Day (PGH: 21)
Kristina Godfrey Kristina Godfrey 5'7" | PG Miami Country Day | 2023 State FL is a strong all-around guard in South Florida. The now 5-foot-10 prospect is an excellent passer and high-level scorer. Godfrey averaged 15 points and six assists per game for the Spartans. More importantly, she limits her miscues. Therefore, you can trust Godfrey to make the right decisions with the basketball.
Maria Garcia Maria Garcia 6'0" | PF Schoolhouse Prep | 2023 State FL – Schoolhouse Prep (PGH: 39)
Going down the list a bit to select Maria Garcia Maria Garcia 6'0" | PF Schoolhouse Prep | 2023 State FL . The 6-foot power forward/center plays with a lot of power around the paint. Moreover, Garcia has good finish with her back to the basket. She is also a good passer, which is an advantage given her ability to solidify her place inside the key. Garcia could be a really tough player to contain over the course of a game. I think she can methodically rise in the rankings from moving forward.
