More 2024s to Note This July

Now that I've highlighted some of the 2026s and 2025s to keep tabs on, I want to highlight a handful of uncommitted 2024s heading into July. I want to focus on some kids who're slightly under the radar but would make good fits at schools around the Midwest.   [player_tooltip player_id='337024' first='Olivia' last='Conway']   What makes Conway intriguing is her ability to get her shot off as a lead guard off the dribble or as an off-ball guard catching and shooting. If you're not careful, Conway will keep her Crusader team in games and give Arrowhead a few competitive games. The Classic 8 is a deep and talented conference, and what Conway did while stepping into a premier role was nothing short of remarkable. Wherever she goes, she'll find a way to improve her team at the next level over her four years in school.   [player_tooltip player_id='337030' first='Amanda' last='Heusterberg']   I'm thrilled Heusterberg decided to play AAU ball this summer. For the past two seasons, Heusterberg put up some ridiculous stat lines at Shoreland Lutheran. However, it never solidified her name as a prospect because there's a lack of respect for kids in the Metro Classic past Dominican and Racine Prairie. Her ability to stretch the floor at 6-0 and rebound her area make her an intriguing small school kid who already popped up on schools radars, and following her prep career when in my first season, seeing her pick up some college interest is honestly the coolest part of what I do. Seeing a talented kid step into a setting where she wasn't comfortable and battle through an injury, continuously showing flashes, has been a fun story to follow.   [player_tooltip player_id='329583' first='Taylor' last='Rogers']   The Winneconne wing is a kid who'll be a solid catch-and-shoot kid at the college level. She's an inconsistent shooter, but from what she looked like last year to now, give me plenty of faith in her ability to sort that out. From the clips I saw of her this past year compared to now, there's less unnecessary movement in her body, and everything looks more compact. She added strength over the past calendar year, and her potential is there.   [player_tooltip player_id='209906' first='Carly' last='Drew']   Some schools may not have gotten to see Drew with Flight's EYBL schedule, but depending on what she wants to do, she could be a kid who sees prominent playing time in the WIAC in the 2024-25 season. I love everything she does on the floor. She's so steady. Drew never forces anything but takes everything given to her. She can score it, battle through contact, and she's shown she can be the junkyard dog kind of kid on her EYBL team. The Westfield guard puts in countless extra hours in the gym and has seen some of the best kids in the country against her. Her strength is that she has no glaring weaknesses, and that's rare for kids who could end up in D2, D3, or NAIA programs.
