2028 Player Rankings Update: Players With Bright Futures

The 2028 Class is one that is loaded with talent, natural athletic ability, and a lot of smart prospects. In this article, we cover five prospects out of the 2028 Class in Iowa, that I expect to make an impact their Freshman year in their respective programs.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    Alaysia Wiliams is a prospect that is currently playing up an age level this AAU season with her Ball Stars team but you'd never know that if you watched her compete out on the floor with this group. Williams will be attending Kennedy High School out of Cedar Rapids and I'm sure she is going to be make her mark on that program overtime. She is a tricky guard, that has a great pace of play, great vision, and smart head on her shoulders. This Winter Kennedy will return a good amount of their roster from years past but that doesn't mean that Williams won't come in right away and make an instant impact. I'll have a chance to see this Kennedy team perform next week at a high school shootout in Des Moines and that should shed some light onto who their actual Varsity roster is. I'm excited to see what they bring to the event and how they return after the 2024 season.     Last year when I had the chance to see [player_tooltip player_id='880921' first='Callie' last='Stull'] at an event prior to her 8th grade year, I was satisfied with her production and I'm sure over time that her production is only going to grow on the hardwood. Stull is a player of opportunity. She plays with common sense and she is someone that can help lead a team if need be. At the guard position, she is someone that isn't going to hurt you in many ways, while helping you compete with some positive energy. At Ankeny, they are going to have their stars back again this year at the Varsity level so it just depends how everyone else falls into place. If Stull works hard enough, she will be given a chance over time and I can't wait to see what she makes of that opportunity.     Colfax-Mingo High School is primarily a smaller school out of Iowa and that is going to line things up perfectly for [player_tooltip player_id='910324' first='Isabelle' last='Foglesong'] to come in and make a difference. Fogleson is a 5'8 SG, that does a great job of playing off the ball and producing while doing so. This AAU season for her [program_tooltip program_id='712617' first='Lady' last='Pure Prep'] team, Foglesong has shown up in every game that she competes in. She makes some great efforts play, she locks in on defense, and she can knock down some shots from deep on the perimeter off of the catch or even the dribble. With the Tigerhawks, I'm hoping that she can take this momentum and ride it into their season. She is skilled enough, she just needs to play with confidence and the rest will be history.     I didn't know much about [player_tooltip player_id='915896' first='Isla' last='Marti'] prior to this AAU season but after watching her compete a few times, I would be surprised if she didn't see the Varsity floor or get at least a roster spot as a Freshman, while probably playing on JV as well. This is one of those situations where I think Marti will compete with both teams and if she does well enough on JV starting off, they could move her up right away. Honestly, Marti has solid size at 5'8, she understands the game of basketball on several different levels, and she can produce. If she is put in the right situation moving forward, this could be someone we mention several times this upcoming Winter. Some things that are not in her control need to fall into place for that to happen but it's definitely possible.     If you told me that Kalyn Scammam would be a top producer in several offensive categories throughout her high school career, I wouldn't disagree with you. Scamman has that "it" factor from what I've seen so far. She is someone that just makes things happen on both sides of the ball. Currently she is competing with the 15U [program_tooltip program_id='779942' first='ETG' last='Midwest Elite 3SSB'] team and she has been fantastic for them this season as they have posted an undefeated record throughout their AAU season as a whole. I have a feeling that Scamman is going to come in as a Freshman at Shenandoah High School and blow some people away. She is a guard that can lead and that's exactly what I expect her to do this Winter at an efficient rate.
