Spring Rankings Look-In: 2025 Small Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we released the Spring rankings update for the Class of 2025. There were 12 new additions in total, plus a few players who raised their "stock", so to speak, so subsequently there was some movement throughout the list. We have also changed formats to make rankings more exclusive, therefore at this time we are ranking just 75 players in the Class of 2025, with the rest being placed on a watchlist of 85 players. At some point in the near future, those 75 ranked spots will expand to 100. That will likely either be June 1st or September 1st. In the meantime, I wanted to take this time to circle back and address all of the listed prospects, position by position. Below is a look at 42 small forward prospects who make up 26.3% of the rankings this time around, with analysis on a handful to "keep an eye on" detailed at the bottom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

She has tremendous length, she's a fairly fluid athlete, and she has nice touch around the perimeter with range beyond the line. She looks like she is trying to drive it more and be a complete player, which is good, but she still needs to do a lot of work building strength. I also like her potential as a defensive player, because of her length.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6425ecfb9db36"} /-->
