Class of 2024: New Additions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's finish up this round of rankings content with some stock risers and new additions. We'll start with stock risers and end the day with new additions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849567' first='Natalee' last='Long']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw Long with [program_tooltip program_id='713045' first='Wisconsin' last='Lakers'] this past summer and loved her versatility at 6-0. She's a threat to make shots on the perimeter, rebound around the basket, and move well without the ball. I don't know if other kids realize she has size and length because she gets blocks easier than she probably should. Regardless, her size and skill are something that a small school at the next level should see value in. Long's shooting and size will catch people's eye and could be what earns her some minutes at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849573' first='Addison' last='Lavicka']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lavicka might be as unlucky as anyone I've seen after an injury in her first and final AAU season took away her senior season. However, this is a kid that schools should be after. You won't find 6-0 athletes who cut, shoot, rebound, and defend like Lavicka without a ton of interest often. She's a talented kid who's flown under the radar due to playing at a small school and having her senior year taken away, but she's someone who'll help a program or two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849580' first='Sophia' last='Koker']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lavicka's fellow Athens senior is another kid who could be a piece for regional programs. She's a 6-0 forward with a motor that coaches dream of having on their roster. She's an athletic kid who's moving and does an excellent job cutting to the basket, and her teammates throw her the ball before she's open at times because they know she'll find some open space. She's another small-school kid flying under the radar, but she can play solid minutes at the next level once she gets up to speed at the college level. People with her motor will find ways to make winning plays at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849578' first='Lauren' last='Stettbacher']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The North Fond du Lac guard is a physical kid who can get going from the three-point line. She punishes defenders who go under ball screens and has the confidence to shoot it anytime or anywhere. I also like that she's a kid who can win games with her shooting but isn't afraid to play with her back to the basket. She's got college-level physicality and can score it off the dribble or catch on shooting from the perimeter. She could be a kid in whom programs see some value within their rotation over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
