<p>We're going to be counting down as much of our rankings as possible leading up to the season. As we continue to release updated rankings lists, we'll be doing our best to talk about all those included in them, so going to our current rankings for the 2023 class, we're starting at the bottom here, going all the way up. We already talked about the top 20, so now, let's look at the No. 250-241 prospects in our updated rankings.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 250: [player_tooltip player_id='483413' first='Juliana' last='Hopeck'] - PF, Eastern Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hopeck plays her game exclusively inside the perimeter, not really relying much on getting the foul line as much as just scoring in volume in the paint. Her game in a very limited time has grown exponentially and she's become more confident and comfortable with being physical in the lane.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 249: [player_tooltip player_id='483112' first='Kajal' last='Sukhadia'] - SG, Parsippany Hills</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sukhadia finally got her chance to shine as a sophomore and the added playing time helped her become an excellent three-point shooter for Parsippany Hills. She was quite nearly knocking down two threes a game and found her shooting stroke quickly. Toward the end of her junior year, we saw just how good this specialized shooter can be.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 248: Nicole Kilmek - PG, Pequannock</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kilmek controls the point for Pequannock and has made herself known with her defense, having racked up nearly 200 steals in her high school career. That comes out to around 2.7 steals per game over 64 games and Kilmek is grouping that up with a great mix of offense and the ability to facilitate.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 247: [player_tooltip player_id='483098' first='Jaden' last='Visioli'] - SG, Boonton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Visioli has taken a bit of a step back with her three-point shooting, but at the same time, she's come a long way with her passing and defense. This is still a great perimeter shooter, someone who can definitely knock down several a game consistently. Coming off the Covid-shortened season was tough, so a full year under her belt coming into the winter should be very beneficial.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 246: [player_tooltip player_id='482298' first='Taylor' last='Powell'] - PF, Montclair Kimberely</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Powell, like Visioli, saw a decrease in production immediately following the Covid season, one where she played in just five games. She's a bit of an undersized forward down low, but her speed and agility makes up for it to an extent. Powell was much more successful offensively as a junior, so if she can combine that with the previous defensive success she's had, that's a lethal combination.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 245: [player_tooltip player_id='482299' first='Anayah' last='McLamb'] - PG, Newark Collegiate</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McLamb is a versatile guard, but her bread and butter is running the point for Newark Collegiate. Her maturity and experience plays when it comes to generating offense or setting the defense on the other side of the ball. She's someone who has shown success driving into the lane, so continued consistency there is to her future benefit.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 244: [player_tooltip player_id='482293' first='Elsa' last='Taylor-Lillquist'] - C, Montclair</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Taylor-Lillquist improved on her offense as a junior while keeping up her defensive prowess. She steadily improved on both sides of the ball, definitely proving to be a bigger asset as a scorer down low. However, that shouldn't take away from what we expect to be someone who's an excellent shot-blocker in her own right.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 243: [player_tooltip player_id='482281' first='Allie' last='Harris'] - PF, Columbia</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harris skyrocked up the board as a shot-blocker, putting up her best defensive stats to date as a junior. Her breakout season was destined to come at some point and it came with heightened defense, strong rebounding and confident scoring. She got much more playing time and took advantage of it. Hopefully, the trend continues for her as a senior.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 242: [player_tooltip player_id='482275' first='Riley' last='Mahan'] - SF, Lacey</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mahan is someone we could definitely see shooting up the rankings list as this season progresses because her junior year was an underratedly good season for Lacey. Nearly a block and steal a game on average and around 1.5 made three-pointers a game she put up. No one saw this level of perimeter production coming, but what a welcomed change it was for her.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>No. 241: [player_tooltip player_id='482273' first='Katie' last='Finnegan'] - SG, Colts Neck</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Finnegan's ceiling was set against Toms River East on February 23, knocking down a career-high six three-pointers for a career-high 22 points on the night. In one night, she put up more points than her entire sophomore year and that has to be encouraging for the shooting guard. That's well within her grasp any night she takes the floor.</p>
