<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nearly two dozen prospects have been added to the most recent 2024 class rankings update. Despite a few players being dropped due to having stepped away from the game there are now 172 players composing the recent update. This part one of three takes a look at the top seven players added to the 2024 ranks in rank order.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606261' first='Tyler' last='Vidricksen'], 5'8", SG, Salina Central - Vidricksen is the top prospect making her debut at <strong>#37</strong>, Vidricksen is a experienced, terrific, perimeter shooter with 23′ range. She has a smooth motion and quick release off the catch or off the dribble. She has speed and quickness to enough to play on the top of the full court zone press. Opposing post players usually found her defending them because of her quickness, length, and physicality. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606250' first='Elle' last='Denning'], 5'10", SF/SG, Salina Central - A player who floats well between positions on both ends of the floor, Denning joins the ranks at <strong>#82</strong>. She has good transitions speed and quickness to go with length to be very disruptive in the full and half court. A very credible perimeter threat Denning has a fluid, quick release to her jumpers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606251' first='Jayla' last='McLeod'], 5'10", SF/PF, McPherson - Coming into the ranks at <strong>#90</strong>, McLeod's game and impact on the team grew quickly this season. McLeod has grown comfortable in the defensive and boxing out focus of the program and excelled. She has consistently shown good hops, timing on her shot challenges and blocks, and smarts to tip out balls where she or her teammates can run them down. McLeod's offensive game grew by leaps and bounds also, and with her hops and length she was very tough to stop eight feet from the basket. She will also knock down the mid-range jumper and the occasional three ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606245' first='Melissa' last='Ebenkamp'], 5'3", PG, Conway Springs - Showing herself to be Cardinals' top ball handler, Ebencamp debuts at <strong>#108</strong>. Very quick and fast, Ebencamp pushes the ball up with floor with the dribble and the pass, looking to get the transition game going quickly. She can hit the three ball and finish with speed and elevation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606253' first='Iniya' last='Hinman'], 5'9", PF/SF, Parsons - There is a great deal to like about Hinman;s game. Debuting at <strong>#112</strong>, she is a lengthy, athletic forward who elevates well on the boards and will go end-to-end off the rebound. A finisher with speed, she also does a great job off keeping balls held high and elevating quickly. Hinman can pack the scorebook with points when she gets rolling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":615841,"width":100,"height":105,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/Brielle-Ptacek-2024-Southeast-of-Saline.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-615841" width="100" height="105" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Southeast of Saline 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='606243' first='Brielle' last='Ptacek'].

In transition she is as fast with the ball her defenders are. While not quite shooting a strong three point percentage, she has solid college perimeter range. Besides averaging in double figures scoring, she is also averaging over 4 steals, 3 assists and has assists-to-turnovers ratio of roughly 1.5. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='606243' first='Brielle' last='Ptacek'], PG, Southeast of Saline - With the teammates Ptacek has had surrounding her the past couple seasons she has often been overlooked. With a large senior class graduating in 2022 Ptacek, who comes in at <strong>#122</strong>, has been able to emerge from the shadows as a solid floor leader at the point. Fast and quick, what I really like from her is the ability to make quick, soft entry passes to where teammates can catch the ball. Ptacek is also a perimeter threat, shooting a three ball that is soft with a great deal of air under it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
