The Freshmen 50: The complete list from top to bottom

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not easy to make it into the Prep Girls Hoops Freshman 50. With so much talent in the state of Minnesota, and so many gifted players having performed well during the AAU season, athletes had to go above and beyond to make the cut. The Freshmen 50 represents the best college prospects now entering high school. It recognizes all of the time, effort and focus these players have invested to construct a skill set that sets them apart. We believe that every player listed in this compilation has the opportunity to eventually play at the collegiate level. Only time will tell if that prediction comes to fruition but I have to say our track record over the years has been pretty good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Sept. 10, nearly 120 players came to Hopkins to demonstrate their skills at the PGH Freshman Showcase, and a number of them raised their stock at the event. In the Top 20, [player_tooltip player_id='600748' first='Kaja' last='Nash'] and [player_tooltip player_id='763004' first='Lyla' last='Hentges'] improved their positions. From #21 to #50 in the rankings, there were a few more including #21 [player_tooltip player_id='659130' first='Jaliyah' last='Diggs'], #27 [player_tooltip player_id='529334' first='Isa' last='Griefenhagen'], #36 [player_tooltip player_id='630225' first='Alexa' last='Juntunen'] and #50 [player_tooltip player_id='667779' first='Grace' last='Prose'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several others made a great impression. Although they didn't make the Freshmen 50 there's no doubt that <strong>Candace Ndomb</strong> (Duluth East), [player_tooltip player_id='764292' first='Aaliyah' last='Williams'] (Rochester Lourdes), [player_tooltip player_id='615435' first='Savannah' last='Tepoorten'] (Benilde-St. Margaret's) and [player_tooltip player_id='764182' first='Ava' last='Litecky'] (Totino-Grace) among others deserved serious consideration. The list will be expanded to 75 in February and these players will surely be in the mix.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier in the week we published our Top 10, the premier prospects in the Class of 2027. On Thursday we presented those players now ranked in positions #11 through #20.
