<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep prospects in VT are making moves! Check out who's committed and who might be next. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Committed:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='426305' first='Sakoya' last='Sweeney'], 5'8 PG - Lake Region High School/Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2023 - Tilton Post Grad.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An indelible leader and a tough two-way player, Sakoya has decided to take a post grad. year at Tilton. She's a positive + consistent communicator, and her game is flush with tools. As a pass-first facilitator, offensive creator, and hardnosed defender, Sweeney should fit right into the mold at Tilton. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='405948' first='Cassie' last='Beste'], 5'6 G - Rice Memorial High School/Lone Wolf Athletics - Philips Exeter Prep Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While I was (selfishly) hoping Cassie would be back for her senior year at Rice, I understand why she's taking the leap to Exeter. Beste is a savvy southpaw at the combo-guard with unlimited range, second layer creation, and smart two-way game. Cassie's feel and skill shine bright, and she's a serious competitor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Receiving Prep Interest:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elyse MacDonough, 5'8 G - Rice Memorial High School/NY Havoc GUAA Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's no surprise VT's top prospect is getting looks. MacDonough is capable of competing anywhere in the NEPSAC with her dynamic combination of 3-level scoring + facilitation. Plus, her agility, instincts, and sheer competitiveness on both sides of the ball come together to cause fits for opponents. Keep Elyse on your radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496147' first='Kelli' last='Cieplicki'], 5'9 G/W - Rice Memorial High School/NY Havoc GUAA Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An absolute swiss-army knife with a serious scoring package to go with, Kelli can flat out play. Cieplicki too can compete across the NEPSAC Class A-AA spectrum of talent with her array of services. Boards, athleticism, buckets at all levels, tough + multi-positional defense, and a high-IQ make Kelli so intriguing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='579572' first='Hayden' last='Wilkins'], 5'8 G - St. Johnsbury Academy/Blueprint Basketball Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilkins made a big splash over the H.S. playoffs, showcasing her all-around game and composure + leadership in the clutch. With her 3-level scoring that stretches back 22+ feet, adept defense, and feel for the game, Hayden could fit into a number of situations at the NEPSAC A-AA level. So solid.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446534' first='Bianca' last='Williams'], 5'11 G/W - Essex High School/Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bianca's combination of size and skillset make her a dynamic guard. Williams fills it up off of forced turnovers, slashes, and clean jumpers. She finds rhythm on the defensive end with her disruptive defense, rebounding, and multi-positional coverage. A true two-way player with size, Bianca is legit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='645601' first='Sabine' last='Brueck'], 5'7 G - North Country Union H.S./Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A multi-sport standout, Sabine is an electric hooper and track &amp; field star. Her two-way game leans defensively with her impeccable on-ball pressure, off-ball instincts, and perimeter rebounding. Plus, her offensive package is curated around her supreme athleticism and instinctual decision making. Brueck won Gatorade and capped of the winter with a 24-0 D2 Championship. Keep an eye out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
