2024 Rankings Update: New Faces

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>12) 6'5 F [player_tooltip player_id='556578' first='AJ' last='Lual'] (Southern AZ Prep): Lual is one of the top up and coming prospects in the state of Arizona. At 6'5 Lual is an exceptional rebounder and defender. Her size alone makes her one of the best prospects in the state with a ton of untapped potential. Being able to play with some of the best players in the country will only improve her game more. Look for Lual to start to grab attention of college coaches from all over the nation this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>18) 5'6 G [player_tooltip player_id='263402' first='Andrea' last='Becerra'] (Dream City Christian): Becerra is one of the more electric guards in the class of 2024. She is silky smooth with the ball in her hands and has a deadly lefty jumper. Becerra can shoot it from 3, pull up in the midrange and take her opponents of the dribble for layups. Defensively, Becerra is as quick as they come and does a really good job staying in front of her defenders and jumping passing lanes. Becerra has the capability to put up numbers in a hurry and I anticipate her stock to continue to rise playing for Dream City Christian this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25) 5'10 G [player_tooltip player_id='339064' first='Madison' last='Pond'] (Estrella Foothills): Pond is one of the best up and coming guards in the state. As a sophomore Pond averaged 11pts and 8rbs a game on a 20-8 Estrella Foothills team. This offseason Pond played on for a really talented Southwest Premier AAU team.

Sepulveda stock will rise to one of the best in the state over the course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>68) 5'10 F [player_tooltip player_id='530984' first='Gloria' last='Hines'] (Mountain Ridge): Hines is a lengthy post prospect in the class of 2024.
