Class of ’23 Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The ‘23 class is already stacked, yet there are some girls out there whose stock rose over the course of the year. I'm talking about some outstanding young ladies who are gym rats. They put extra work in, came ready to hoop no matter the opponent, location, ect. They laced up their shoes and were kicking butt and taking names along the way. While doing so, they gain respect, picked up offers, and ended up showing why the ‘23 class is strong from top to bottom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This isn't about where a girl is going.
