Recently committed to University of Utah. Led STM to a state championship, earning tournament MVP honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='100478' first='Olivia' last='Kieffer'] - Rapid City Christian - Olivia comes in at #2 and is a top 5 prospect in the 2023 class. One of the more prolific scorers in the state. Committed to University of South Dakota and a very skilled individual game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='324044' first='Taaliyah' last='Porter'] - Rapid City Stevens - Taaliyah is a position-less prospect -- in a good way. Has good size and strength, with solid ball skills. Can defend multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='354609' first='Alexa' last='Ham'] - Rapid City Christian - I'm unsure of the exact details, but Alexa missed this past season. So I went back to the previous season, where she averaged 13.2 ppg. and 7.3 rpg. She's a versatile and athletic six-footer that runs and jumps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='403106' first='Macey' last='Wathen'] - Rapid City Stevens - Macey has been taking her game to another notch ever since the state tournament started. She'll have a major role in her Senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='405175' first='Mari' last='Richards'] - Rapid City Central - Mari is an athletic 6'1 at the AA level and has shown some promise. Active on the boards, runs the floor, and can jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 [player_tooltip player_id='417229' first='Brittany' last='Jones'] - Rapid City Stevens - I had trouble placing Brittany, but she is a good prospect. Has a ton of upside if she grows physically. AA point guard experience as a Freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 [player_tooltip player_id='375381' first='Hayden' last='Thorton'] - Rapid City Christian - The 2026 prospect has already received varsity playing time and was a contributor that could make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 [player_tooltip player_id='343332' first='Sloane' last='Keszler'] - St. Thomas More - Sloan is another young guard that has been a varsity player. She's with SD Attack, so there's something there and has competed against top regional competition. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='405177' first='Aaliyah' last='Jones'] - Rapid City Central - A quick guard with some solid skills. Was a starting guard in the state AA tournament. Can get by her defender and into the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 [player_tooltip player_id='405174' first='Wicahpi' last='Cuny'] - Rapid City Central - Cuny is a long wing type that can defend a wing and hit wing and corner threes. Underrated prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#12 [player_tooltip player_id='154264' first='Jada' last='Mollman'] - St. Thomas More - Was a crucial part in STM winning it all. Solid size, movement, and is a strong rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='375385' first='Savannah' last='Armendariz'] - Rapid City Christian - Savannah is a very underrated guard and prospect. Can push the ball quickly on her own and has a smooth shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
