June Scholastic Previews: Lutheran St. Charles

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri will be doing team previews on some of the top in-state programs during the scholastic period. Due to recent NCAA calendar changes, June has become vital to recruiting and the high school game. There are two live periods so this is a great time to evaluate prospects and gain insight into teams for the upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heading into June and the season, Lutheran St. Charles is undoubtedly one of the most talented rosters in the state. As a team full of positional length, shooting, and offensive firepower, they can play just about anybody in the Midwest. Lutheran St. Charles can score in bunches and is a dangerous team when clicking on all cylinders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Everything starts with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='302779' first='Jordan' last='Speiser']</strong> for this team. She's a player who can earn an offer from any school in the country this June. Speiser is an elite prospect who has the size and shooting that you see at the highest levels of basketball. Her team relies on the scoring and ability to draw the defense out to three. As a result, everything opens up and there's spacing for others. Few players impact the game offensively like Speiser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='409880' first='Kennedy' last='Stowers']</strong> is the one who holds down the paint for Lutheran St. Charles. She accepts her role as a high-end rebounder, rim protector, and paint scorer. It's something that she has done for two seasons and there will be natural role expansion to follow. Another Division 1 recruit that should see a breakout on the recruiting trail. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493462' first='Kyrii' last='Franklin']</strong> is a 2026 guard who's recovering from injury and could provide a spark during the second half of this upcoming season. When she's on the floor there's no questioning her talent. An elite passer and someone who sets their defense. Every great team needs a true PG and that's exactly what Franklin is.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='509639' first='Chloe' last='Reed']</strong> is an elite role player on this team and someone who would be a top player at other programs. A 3&amp;D prospect who can guard several positions on the perimeter. She converts when the opportunity is presented and works well off the ball. A strong cutter in addition to being a secondary shot blocker. Reed was a key contributor during the playoffs last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='848998' first='Addy' last='Cooley']</strong> gives the team a hint of energy. She's a 2027 and fits in amongst an experienced team. As a freshman she found her way hitting shots and making key assists. Her willingness to mix it up and play with toughness is key. Expect for her minutes to increase and be a player that steps into a prominent role in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
