Locked and Loaded: 2025 Rankings Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of my co-workers (shout out to JD) and I were talking earlier this week prior to the 2025 rankings being dropped and we couldn't believe how strong this 2025 class really is. Not just from a name stand point, but from the body of work these young ladies bring to the table. From bigs who pound it in the paint to the shooters who shoot lights out, I mean thrown in the shifty guards in the mix as well, this class is deep in talent. What stands out even more, they are proven young ladies who show up and compete night in and night out. They are the leading catalyst for their ball clubs and they do what I love more than anything, they compete!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So yeah, the rankings are coming. They are dropping in…… 3,2,1, today! In the midst of collaborating with the other scouts, you could just tell that this class is one of the toughest ones in the state. A special one at that. Don't get me wrong the seniors, sophomore and freshman have their studs as well, but this one, we are talking 80+ strong in girls who we envision playing at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I tell you the quality of play has risen all across the state, corner to corner, it certainly has. I mean take a gander at the state tournament. Look at some of these college rosters. Look at some of these schools who have Tennessee girls on their roster. Guys, the game just means more here. It just gets you excited.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you all know, content will drop following the rankings. You will see:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stock Risers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Additions</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ect. Ect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You will also get a glimpse of just the thought process and see some young ladies who have blossomed into some good solid ball players. This class more than anything is just awesome. Here is a sneak peak: the rankings have shook a little bit as far as who is where. We have ranked more girls based on their production. We see more and more girls who will be creeping into the top 100 this upcoming year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a preview of the Top 3:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/lauren-hurst/">[player_tooltip player_id='409019' first='Lauren' last='Hurst']</a></td><td>6'3"</td><td>PF</td><td>Cleveland</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/reese-beaty/">[player_tooltip player_id='408995' first='Reese' last='Beaty']</a></td><td>5'8"</td><td>PG</td><td>York Institute</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/blair-baugus/">[player_tooltip player_id='409014' first='Blair' last='Baugus']</a></td><td>6'0"</td><td>PF</td><td>Wayne Co.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shocking? I mean when you have girls who get nominated for Miss Tennessee multiple times I mean, eh what can you say? Add other accolades and big time offers, I mean the list goes on. A lot of juniors are or have received big time offers. That's testament to the coaches, players, trainers, parents, and those who are the gatekeepers of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a preview of some kids who are stock risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='810568' first='Abbilyn' last='Teter']</td><td>5'8</td><td>SG</td><td>Cannon Co.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ayana-porter/">[player_tooltip player_id='410062' first='Ayana' last='Porter']</a></td><td>5'4"</td><td>PG</td><td>Oak Ridge</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='810508' first='Ciara' last='Thomas']</td><td>6'2</td><td>PF</td><td>Trezvant</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I mean when you are district player of the year and your team is excelling, something is going right.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Either way, my point is this, the game of basketball is getting better in our state and this class is one of the ones leading the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
