By Michael Wholey 8/28/23 10:00 PM EST   The updated class of 2025 rankings were released earlier this month, there was a shakeup in the rankings and here is the new top 10.    [player_tooltip player_id='470470' first='Kelis' last='Fisher'] – 5'9 Shooting Guard *UCONN   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/12/Kelis-Fisher-2-SNP.jpeg?w=633" alt="" class="wp-image-572922" style="width:164px;height:264px" width="164" height="264" /></figure>     Fisher jumps into the # 1 spot in the class of 2025 after relocating from Maryland to IMG Academy in Florida. The 5'9 guard is verbally committed to UConn and is as dangerous as anyone in the country with the ball in her hands. She is almost impossible to stop in 1on1 situations as she has multiple moves and can go left and right equally. She has 3 point range, can score off the bounce, and at the rim.         [player_tooltip player_id='409186' first='Holland' last='Harris'] – 6'1 Wing / Forward   Harris sky rockets up the rankings to the # 2 spot after a big summer for [program_tooltip program_id='713590' first='FGB' last='']. Her 6'1 frame combined with her athleticism and versatility were on full display all throughout the Under Armour circuit and due to her stellar play the college scholarship offers have been piling in. Harris plays inside and out, and can score on her defenders in a variety of ways based on the matchup. Look for Harris to continue to get more attention as she makes the move to Montverde Academy for her Junior campaign.     [player_tooltip player_id='243895' first='Lena' last='Girardi'] – 5'10 Guard   Girardi moves down 2 spots from # 1 to # 3 but still remains one of the class of 2025 top prospects. Girardi was extremely consistent and performed at an extremely high level all travel season for [program_tooltip program_id='713590' first='FGB' last=''] confirmed with the numerous scholarship offers that have been piling up. Girardi is the strongest perimeter player in the class of 2025 and uses her strength combined with her height to get into the paint off the bounce and to the free throw line often. She is an elite level scorer that is a matchup nightmare!     [player_tooltip player_id='243900' first='Kali' last='Barrett'] – 6'0 Wing / Forward   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/12/Kali-Barrett-[program_tooltip program_id='713590' first='FGB' last='']-19-Black.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-572990" style="width:180px;height:240px" width="180" height="240" /></figure>     At 6'0, Barrett is versatile and can play both the wing and forward spots. Her combination of height, skill set, and athleticism make her an impossible matchup as she can go inside and out. Barrett is very effective in the paint, crashing the offensive boards well and finishing at the rim at a high percentage while also displaying her ability to stretch the defense with her range, stepping out to 15 feet.         [player_tooltip player_id='346835' first='Jaida' last='Civil'] – 5'11 Wing   Civil has an excellent combination of length and athleticism that make her one of the state's top prospects in the class of 2025. She has elite level athleticism that make her a challenging matchup and hard to keep away from the paint. Civil likes to play off the ball and attack off the bounce or rip to the rim going right and finish high above the rim. She is extremely dangerous in transition and crashes the offensive boards aggressively.     Jim'Myah Branton – 5'7 Shooting Guard   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/07/Jimmiyah-Branton-Larkins.jpeg?w=833" alt="" class="wp-image-469705" style="width:181px;height:222px" width="181" height="222" /></figure>     Branton was injured for part of the travel season but holds the # 6 spot in the class of 2025 rankings for her elite athleticism and ability to score the ball. In a class full of athletes, Branton might be the top athlete of all of them. She is a high flyer who fearlessly attacks off the bounce and gets to the rim at will and gets after it on the defensive end of the floor.         [player_tooltip player_id='244190' first='Kylee' last='Kitts'] – 6'0 Forward   Kitts continues to move up the rankings for her versatility. Kitts improved skill set, and increased height all lead her into the # 7 spot after helping lead Faith Christian Academy to a state championship and followed that up with consistent performances for the Southeast All Stars. She uses her height and versatility to impact the game on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor, and her well rounded skill set to fill up the stat sheet!     [player_tooltip player_id='248449' first='Arianna' last='Woodard'] – 5'10 Point Guard   Woodard is a dynamic, athletic playmaker who is a scoring point guard that uses her slender build and elite athleticism to get by her defenders off the bounce and score at the rim. She likes to play downhill and in transition and can knock down open 3s when left open.     [player_tooltip player_id='429793' first='Olivia' last='Olson'] – 5'10 Guard     <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/07/20220724_150621-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-466693" style="width:133px;height:236px" width="133" height="236" /></figure>     Olson is one of the guards in the state of Florida and at 5'10, she has all the skills and tools to keep moving up the rankings. Her height stands out amongst the elite competition for her ability to score over the top of defenders as well as use her court vision to see over the top of defenses. She has an excellent well rounded offensive skill set that makes her extremely effective in transition and in the half court.         [player_tooltip player_id='221649' first='Markeli' last='Jones-Tynes'] – 5'9 Point Guard   Jones is a dynamic playmaker who had an excellent summer with [program_tooltip program_id='713590' first='FGB' last='']. Her unique combination of strength and athleticism stood out on the travel circuit amongst some of the best of the best. Jones-Tynes is a playmaker that can run the PG spot and serve as a distributor as well as pick her spot to be an offensive threat knocking down open 3s and attacking off the bounce to get to the rim!
