Continue ReadingNearly 30 prospects debuted in the December’s 2025 class rankings update. Drawn from every classification the slate of prospects now numbers 167. Large school players dominated the debuters in the top 100 while a sizable number of small school prospects debuted in the next 30 spots. This next group includes numerous smaller school prospects. The final group of new additions are led by three from class 3A. Take a look at the snapshots for each player below.
Adaylee Morel Adaylee Morel 5'5" | PG Nickerson | 2025 State KS , 5’6″, PG, Nickerson – Debuting at #135 Morel stepped into the point guard role this season and has played it well. Athletic with good offensive quickness and handles she works well in transition scoring the ball or pulling up for the jumper. She is a three point threat who works well in space to create opportunities for her teammates. Morel is an improving on-ball defender as well.
Cali Honeyman Cali Honeyman 5'11" | SF Nemaha Central | 2025 State KS , 5’11”, SF, Nemaha Central – The first of two Thunder debuting in this group Honeyman brings size and solid athleticism to the position. A three point threat, she has handles to work in transition. Quick and lengthy, Honeyman usually can be found disrupting offenses playing at the top of full court pressure. Honeyman enters the rankings at #136.
Sammie Brooks Sammie Brooks 5'9" | CG Buhler | 2025 State KS , 5’9″, CG, Buhler – The first of two Crusader debuters in the group, at #137, Brooks has a solid build, good strength, and good transition speed. An improved off-ball and cutter defender she also jumps to the ball well when rebounding.
Brooke Koenigsman Brooke Koenigsman 5'8" | SG Thomas More Prep-Marian | 2025 State KS , 5’8″, SG/PG, Thomas More Prep-Marian – Entering the ranks at #138, Koenigsman is just a solid, all-around player who can shoot the ball, drive to the basket with purpose, and uses her length well defending and scoring. She was a Mid-Continent League second team selection in 2023.
Keilee Finnerty Keilee Finnerty 5'10" | SF Hartford | 2025 State KS , 5’10”, SF, Hartford – Debuting at #148 Finnerty is player I saw at the MAYB 1A/2A tournament last June. What struck me is her feel for the game and yet is not quite polished and fluid enough to execute effectively some of what she sees. Reps should take care of that. I like her potential. One play I really liked was a drive down the lane, over the rim, take to finish with extension over defenders. She is also a solid free throw shooter.
Gaby Peterson Gaby Peterson SG Sedgwick | 2025 State KS , SG, Sedgwick – Coming in at #150 is Peterson. A swift, active defender with quick hands she also will take the ball to the house off a pick and finish with speed. Peterson is also a good perimeter threat.
Reagan Gerety Reagan Gerety PF Nemaha Central | 2025 State KS , 6’0″, PF, Nemaha Central – Gerety, the second of two Thunder debuters in the group, joins at #151. A Big 7 honorable mention selection in 2023 she is a solid shot blocker who swats without fouling. Not super jumpy, she holds her ground well defending. I like her interior quickness as well.
Averi Windholz Averi Windholz 5'10" | C Victoria | 2025 State KS , 5’10”, C, Victoria – Drawn from class 1A division II ranks, Windholz, debuting at #152, has put up strong numbers for the 3-5 Knights. Laying down 16.1 points and 9.7 rebounds and picking up 1.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game. Her steals almost always come from her uncanny ability to anticipate where the next pass is going, enabling her to get to the ball a split to half of a second quicker than most players.
Grace William Grace William 5'11" | PF Osborne | 2025 State KS , 5’11”, PF, Osborne – William enters at #153. A forward with good size and transition speed, she can step out and hit the three ball. On the raw side I will be looking for improvements in fluidness and increase quickness on her shot. Would also like to see her not be so quick at passing the ball out from the high post. Squaring up off the catch will resolve that. William does a solid job of clearing defensive rebounds.
Aneila Williams Aneila Williams CG Andover | 2025 State KS , CG, Andover – Debuting at #157, Williams is somewhat a victim of circumstance. On the 5A #1 ranked team with a pair of division I commits and transfer of that caliber as well, Williams is a bench player who gets limited time. What is known is Williams has good handles working one-on-one in the half court and, after hitting the game winner against Liberal last season, can score the ball under pressure. One thing I saw from her that stands out is what she showed playing in the MAYB Hall of Fame Showcase last April. I really loved an instance where she boxed a bigger player out to create an opportunity for a teammate to get an offensive rebound and put back. Boxing with a purpose is not something seen every day.
Claudia Taylor Claudia Taylor 5'6" | CG Buhler | 2025 State KS , 5’6″, CG, Buhler – Taylor is the second Crusader debuting in the group, joining at #161. A southpaw ball handler I saw her in early December where she played with a foot injury. Despite struggles to keep ball handlers out of the lane she was still strong, physical, active, and took the ball to the basket with purpose. Healthy, her lateral quickness is solid as is her speed with the ball in transition.
