South Dakota 2023 Rankings: Stock-Risers

#6 [player_tooltip player_id='166683' first='Bergen' last='Reilly'] - 6'1 F 2023 - O'Gorman - The nationally recognized USA National Volleyball team member is also a stud on the basketball court as well, using her athletic ability to impact the game in a major way. She's off to Nebraska for D1 volleyball, and I believe she's a D2 talent on the basketball court. She was huge in O'Gorman winning the state title, with her using her athletic ability to make plays all over the court.   #11 [player_tooltip player_id='100474' first='Gracie' last='Traphagen'] - 5'11 F 2023 - Groton Area - The Northern State University commit has a formidable inside-out game, where she can play with power on in interior and is an accurate three-point shooter. An athletic and strong frame that translates well in many aspects of the game for her to be a complete player.   #12 [player_tooltip player_id='166689' first='Coral' last='Mason'] - 5'10 G 2023 - Viborg-Hurley - Coral moves up a couple spots from #14 in the last update to #12. A long guard that has skill with the ball and can score the ball in a variety of ways. Goes off the dribble effectively and can pop a three. I'm interested to see where Coral decides to play her college ball.   #20 [player_tooltip player_id='246271' first='Jaida' last='Young'] - 5'7 G 2023 - Watertown - Jaida competed in the Sanford Pentagon "Who's Next" combines in both Fargo and Sioux Falls and showed to be impressive. Showed to be capable as an individual scorer along with already being a proven distributing and team playing guard. She really showed her skills in these events and what she could become at the next level in the right program. She comes in at #20 overall on the list, up from #27.   #34 [player_tooltip player_id='389375' first='Cassidy' last='Keiser'] - 5'10 G/Wing 2023 - Gregory - Cassidy might be one of the most overlooked and underrated prospects in the state. She's long, skilled, and can stroke the three. A steady defender that is able to stay in front of her assignment because of her movement and length combination. Can back-peddle at speed to stay with her matchup. A college prospect that would be a perfect fit for a good NAIA program or Junior College program and is a valuable asset because of her shooting ability. She moves up to #34 on the rankings board, up from #40.   #36 [player_tooltip player_id='100492' first='Logan' last='Bly'] - 6'0 G/Wing 2023 - Garretson - I was finally able to see Logan and Garretson play some more from their action from last year. Logan impressed and has moved up the rankings board. She goes from #46 to #35. She has a long six-foot frame and a solid all-around skill set. Scores at all three levels, is effective from mid-range, and a consistent release and shot from three. She has committed to play volleyball for Dakota Wesleyan University. Garretson will rely on Logan heavily in her final season.   #39 [player_tooltip player_id='100493' first='Abby' last='Hohn'] - 5'10 G 2023 - Parkston - I wasn't able to see Abby and Parkston play a ton this past season. Saw Abby play only twice but it's clear her stock is on the rise after recovering and progressing after an ACL injury. You could tell it was slowing her down early, but that didn't stop her from showing off her jumper from three and her length as a guard that can handle the ball. She's one to watch for college programs in her Senior season and could possibly move higher on the rankings.   #41 [player_tooltip player_id='388635' first='Carlie' last='Lawrence'] - 5'6 G 2023 - Timber Lake - The smooth combo guard out of Timber Lake needs to be taken seriously as a scorer and skilled prospect with the ball. Excellent shooter from three with a quick and fluid release. Plays with great overall quickness and speed with the ball. She moves up a few spots and is in-store for a productive scoring season again. A perfect fit at the NAIA/D3 level.   #43 [player_tooltip player_id='389376' first='Eve' last='Zephier'] - 5'6 G 2023 - Wagner - Eve showed an expanded offensive game at the Sanford Pentagon "Who's Next" Combine this summer. She's a little overshadowed on her stacked Wagner team and slightly is more of a role player for them. But don't think she can't open up her game and showcase herself as a quick ball-handler with a smooth jumper. Can go off the dribble and make the necessary plays that are opened up.   #47 [player_tooltip player_id='406379' first='Maurina' last='Street'] - 5'10 PF 2023 - Milbank - Street has a combination of a non-stop motor, physicality, and ability to finish. I believe, though not prototypical height for the interior, she makes up for it in her frame, aggression, and ability to score. She's registered to compete in the PGH Dakotas Top 250 and is someone I will be watching closely to see her performance against strong competition.   #59 [player_tooltip player_id='443683' first='Allison' last='Muckey'] - 5'10 F 2023 - Andes Central/Dakota Christian - Allison is key piece to AC/DC's success as an active two-way prospect for them. Solid size and shows good speed and athleticism on the court. She gets the hard-earned points by crashing the boards without hesitation for putbacks off the glass. Cuts to the hoop extremely well off the ball, to receive passes for buckets going at the hoop. An extremely efficient player for her team. Not an elite ball-handler but is able to take care of the ball without turning it over. A clean passer and values the ball, but does most of her damage off-ball, cutting to the hoop or securing offensive boards for points. Defensively, she can apply pressure on a wing and also battle in the interior, becoming an active and effective rebounder as well.   #62 [player_tooltip player_id='166690' first='Julia' last='Schneider'] - 5'6 PG 2023 - Sioux Valley - Julia is a highly underrated guard in the state. Her playmaking as a passer stood out on the court. She will get in the lane with her quickness and drop off dimes to her teammates in the lane for two points. Handles the ball well from the point and has impressive court vision and ability to make the "right" pass. A highly composed guard that understands pace of play. She can play at the NAIA/D3 level.   #67 [player_tooltip player_id='317786' first='Allyson' last='Cass'] - 5'9 SG 2023 - Custer - Though coming from a small school, college programs have seemed to have taken notice of Allyson's ability and ability to translate to the next level. She recently received offers from South Dakota NAIA schools, Dakota State and Mount Marty. She could be even higher on this list after PGH Dakotas seems her perform more extensively.   #68 [player_tooltip player_id='405174' first='Wicahpi' last='Cuny'] - 5'9 SF 2023 - Rapic City central - Cuny is highly underrated at the AA level and her game is not underappreciated by PGH Dakotas. A long wing defender that gets after it and can stretch the floor from three on the offensive side of the ball.   #70 [player_tooltip player_id='375559' first='Trinity' last='Palmquist'] - 5'7 PG 2023 - Howard - I saw Trinity some for the Ambush North Stars and she raised her stock some. She has a solid offensive game as a ball-handler and shooter.   #74 [player_tooltip player_id='375711' first='Brooklyn' last='Brandriet'] - 5'4 G 2023 - Hamlin - Brandiet had a strong state tournament and offseason to boost her stock slightly. Showed three-point prowess at the state A tournament and was vital in Hamlin advancing. For the Dakota Niners this offseason she was impressive as a point guard and a playmaker from that position.   #100 [player_tooltip player_id='375370' first='Erin' last='Uecker'] - 5'11 PF 2023 - Freeman - Erin is a long and lanky prospect that can run and show toughness in the paint. Played with Ambush North Stars as well, so she's striving to improve her game even further and get exposure.

#6 Bergen Reilly Bergen Reilly 6'1" | PF O'Gorman | 2023 State SD - 6'1 F 2023 - O'Gorman - The nationally recognized USA National Volleyball team member is also a stud on the basketball court as well, using her athletic ability to impact the game in a major way. She's off to Nebraska for D1 volleyball, and I believe she's a D2 talent on the basketball court. She was huge in O'Gorman winning the state title, with her using her athletic ability to make plays all over the court.
