The number of prospects listed grew from 160 to 175 total prospects, and while the Top-75 remained a Top-75, the 85-player watchlist became a 100-player watchlist. At this time, I wanted to highlight all of the 2-guards in the Class of 2025 we have listed at this time, as well as highlight a handful of ladies who were newly added this time around.

NEW-COMERS:
Ava is a new addition this time around because of her potential to continue developing as a contributor for the Lady Raiders. She has a fairly athletic frame, moves well in most directions, and she possesses solid perimeter skill. On a Senior-laden team in 2022-2023, Ava managed to play a lot, scoring 4.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, showing off her versatility. With two of their top three scorers from this past season now gone, look for Ava to step into more of a leadership role and potentially significantly increase her numbers across the board.
Lauren has shown flashes of explosive scoring outputs this grassroots season, and it’s because she is a talented perimeter shooter who just needs a little more consistency from game to game. She is extremely long, fluidly athletic, and she has some lateral quickness as well. She is starting to handle it a little more each time I see her, but it’s still her jumper that stands out. When she has her feet set and gets rhythm, she’s almost automatic. She will also need to continue getting stronger for the next level. She reminds me a little of 2020 Penn grad Reganne Pate.
I’ve seen Kiley a few times over the years, and she has always been best defined as solid. She has some strength, good length, and she’s a well-balanced athlete. She’s strong going to the basket, she has a solid mid-range pull-up game, and her perimeter jumper continues to improve. She can even step over on occasion and initiate the offense as a lead guard. At 502 career points through two seasons, Kiley is on her way to the 1000-point plateau, plus the Lady Cougars improved this past season and look to be even better with her as their leader moving forward.
I saw Maddy for the first time this Spring, and I’ve already seen her in this first “live” period in July. She is a really nice athlete, she has some strength, good length, and she plays with a motor. She strikes me as more of a well-rounded ballplayer than truly defined by a position title. She can handle it a little in transition, attack the basket athletically for scores, and find teammates, plus she can knock down an open rhythm jumper. However, she rebounds the ball well for her position, and I think she has a lot of value as a defender.
Katie is a coach’s daughter, and you can see she has a good understanding of the game by her play. She doesn’t force the action, takes what the defense gives her, and she plays with a nice motor. She has some ball skill, but she’s more comfortable off the ball, and she’s a capable perimeter shooter. She has a fairly strong frame, the ability to attack the basket North/South, and she is an effortful rebounder/defender as well. If she can continue to make her offensive game more dynamic, she could be a much bigger contributor this coming year for the Lady Stars.
Addison got a taste of Varsity action this past season, and she has been solid throughout the grassroots season. She has a solid frame, she’s a nice athlete in most directions, and she plays with a motor. She is a solid North/South attacker, and she can knock down on open jumper when set and in rhythm. She doesn’t play on the ball much, but she does play with a lot of energy and can contribute in that way. I also like her effort defensively. If she can be just a bit more dynamic offensively, I think she could be a nice small college prospect.
