<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id='264118' first='Morgan' last='Roberts'] (2024) of Fishers High School.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thursday, we released the Summer rankings update for the Class of 2024. The number of prospects listed grew from 200 to 225 total prospects, and while the Top-100 remained a Top-100, the 100-player watchlist became a 125-player watchlist. At this time, I wanted to highlight all of the small forwards in the Class of 2024 we have listed at this time, as well as highlight a handful of ladies who raised their stock or were newly added this time around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="#FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure

is new to Indiana, moving in from Corpus Christi, Texas. She is a strong, physical style of wing with good all-around skill. She plays with a motor, is willing to rebound and defend around the basket, plus she has a solid back-to-the-basket offensive game for a wing player. Lyric can also attack the basket North/South from the perimeter, she has a nice mid-range pull-up game, and as she continues to make her perimeter shot more consistent, she will be even more of a threat from the perimeter.

She has solid ball skill and can act as a point forward in transition, and in the half-court she acts as more of a North/South downhill attacker. She can absorb contact and draw fouls or finish at the basket, too. She can defend wings, bigger guards, and undersized forwards, and I like how she rebounds from the perimeter.

She is a strong, physical wing who does a variety of things offensively. She can handle the ball and create/facilitate like a point forward, she can get downhill and absorb contact, and she has some touch around the perimeter. She plays with a nice toughness and a solid motor, but if she can continue to show more of a commitment at the defensive end as well, I think she will draw a lot of small college interest because of her offensive presence.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["201871"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"After unfortunately suffering through consecutive knee injuries, Alivia is back working out and preparing for the 2023-2024 season. When healthy, she is one of the hardest-working, toughest-nosed kids out there. She is a solid athlete in all directions, she plays with a ton of energy and emotion, and she can affect a game at all three levels. She can knock down an open 3-pointer, attack the basket off the bounce, or battle inside for offensive rebounds and u0022scrapsu0022 baskets. Add to that her ability to defend, and she can certainly help JCHS this Winter.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["718307"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Gwen had a strong Winter in 2022-2023, as she led Whiteland in scoring at 12.5 points per game, while chipping in 4.7 rebounds per game, and knocking down 49 3-pointers at a 34% rate. She has a fairly strong frame, inside-out versatility, and she plays with a nice motor. Over the next few months, she'll need to figure out if she wants to be more of a true wing and work on building quickness and making her handle a bit more dynamic, or if she wants to get stronger and battle more on the interior.

She isn't a grassroots participant, but she did attend the IBCA Top-100 Showcase in mid-June, and she held her own while there. She is a nice, balanced athlete with a good motor, she can play any number of roles/positions, and I really like her versatility defensively as well.

She is extremely long, quick, fast, and bouncy, and she stands out in the open floor. Defensively is where she is the most solid right now, as she can defend bigger guards and wings around the perimeter or undersized forwards/posts around the block. Offensively, she still needs to continue tightening up her skillset, but she has the physical ability to be recruitable while she builds her skill and becomes more of a true wing.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["718318"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Benton Central has had a number of nice wings over the years, and they have a couple in this 2024 class.

She can knock down open rhythm jumpers around the perimeter or put it on the deck and glide to the basket.
