<p>In another few weeks, AAU basketball will be over for the Class of 2025. Only 16 players among this year's incoming seniors have announced their college commitments to date – seven at the Division 1 level and nine in D2 – but many more have strengthened their resumes since the high school season concluded in March. Today we have posted the revised Prep Girls Hoops Class of 2025 prospect rankings. We're pleased to highlight those players who have raised their stock the most.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Before we dive into the highlights, let us remind you that the PGH rankings indicate a player's status as a potential college prospect, not their current level of performance as a high school player. There's a big difference between those two standards. In our weekly coverage throughout the year we highlight plenty of standout high schoolers, but when it comes to rankings it's all about the future. If you want to know more about the rankings process, please visit the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/how-we-rank/">How We Rank</a></strong> page.</p>

<p>With the fine print out of the way, here are the biggest stock risers in the Class of 2025.</p>

<p><strong>MOVING UP IN THE TOP 10</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We're pretty comfortable with the 2025 Top 10. As a result, there is just one change that sees point guard [player_tooltip player_id='252379' first='Addison' last='Mack'] of Minnehaha Academy move up one position to #3. She swaps places with guard [player_tooltip player_id='296523' first='Kendall' last='McGee'] of Benilde-St. Margaret's, whose recovery from knee surgery has now stretched to 15 months. We never like to see prospects drop down the list when they are out with injuries. Given the extended length of McGee's absence, however, and the extraordinary number of high-level college offers held by Addi, we felt it was time to make the change. Let's hope McGee can come back soon and get her game back to a high level once again. The rest of the top 10 remains the same.</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the Top 25, these five players have moved up a notch or three:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>#17 [player_tooltip player_id='208184' first='Zahara' last='Bishop'] – The Division 1 prospect from Benilde-St. Margaret's rises one position.</li>

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='296747' first='Anna' last='Greene'] – The Mahtomedi forward continues to hone her game and moves up two spots.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>#22 [player_tooltip player_id='296517' first='Katie' last='Kelzenberg'] – The Wayzata forward's comeback has been an eye-opener. She's up two positions.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='215457' first='London' last='Harris'] – The multi-dimensional Hopkins guard rises two more places on the list.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>#24 [player_tooltip player_id='346182' first='Elayna' last='Boe'] – The versatile guard from Lakeville North moves up three spots into the top 25.</li>

<p><strong>BIGGEST 5 STOCK RISERS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>These five athletes have moved up the most in this rankings update..</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>+43 </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829627' first='Elayna' last='Van Nett'] <strong>– guard, Two Rivers</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5'9 guard, who's playing AAU this summer for Real Phenom S40, has demonstrated significant growth in her game over the past several months resulting in a move up to #124. Elayna emerged this winter as a solid next-level prospect under the tutelage of coach Nia Hollie at Two Rivers. This spring has been more of the same. She has size, strength and athleticism and can fire the basketball from distance. Two of Elayna's older sisters have made it to Division 1. Time will tell if she can get there, too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>+31 </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='854912' first='Hadley' last='Sammons'] <strong>– guard, Windom</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5'6 senior-to-be from [program_tooltip program_id='712699' first='Minnesota' last='Rise'] Jeddeloh has had tremendous success in high school basketball, becoming the 10th player in Windom history to reach 1,000 points and establishing herself as a premier point guard. This spring in AAU she has shown strong potential to do the same at the next level. Hadley is an excellent facilitator who sees the floor and can make things happen in many different ways. We love her vocal approach to the game and her leadership abilities. Sammons is now ranked #154.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>+28</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='595553' first='Makenzie' last='Carrier'] <strong>– guard, Kasson-Mantorville (Northern State)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] Southeast combo guard is one of the most dynamic, most energetic performers in the state. Every week she is at or near the top of the points leaderboard. Every game she is doing her darndest to make things happen for her team, whether that is facilitating, scoring or defending. With a relentless work ethic and strong desire to be great, Carrier has proven herself over time. She recently verballed to D2 Northern State in South Dakota and has now earned a big bump to #60.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>+23 </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='453782' first='Alyssa' last='Baranick'] <strong>– point guard, Maple Grove</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We have always loved Alyssa's game, but playing behind a slew of Division 1 prospects over the years at Maple Grove has made it difficult to prove that she has the chops to be an impact player in college basketball. By moving to Bill Hinck's [program_tooltip program_id='712689' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] squad, Baranick got the platform she needed to show what she can do. Alyssa can handle and distribute the ball and uses her high IQ and quickness to score inside. Alyssa has now earned a move up in the rankings to #113.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>+20</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='867637' first='Bra'ja' last='Torry'] <strong>– point guard, Eastview</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you're a numbers person and need a single statistic to sum up Torry's impact, consider this one: 200 assists in a single high school season. The Real Phenom floor general has had an outstanding AAU campaign, demonstrating not only her superior capabilities to distribute the basketball but so much more. Bray is known as an elite ball handler, but her defensive energy and enthusiasm is worthy of just as much attention or more. Torry has made a statement in recent weeks and rises to #36.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>5 MORE BIG STOCK RISERS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#34 [player_tooltip player_id='453753' first='Lauren' last='Hillesheim'] – The position-less performer from Hopkins continues to wow us with her improvement. After starting the AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='712362' first='Legacy' last='Hoops'], Hillesheim moved over to the top [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2025 UAA squad. In doing so Lauren has proven that she can compete with (and excel against) some of the country's top performers. She moves up another 13 positions.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#51 [player_tooltip player_id='453731' first='Haven' last='Fisher'] – The most striking thing about the metamorphosis of Haven's game is just how big and long and strong she has become. The 6-footish guard from Prior Lake has been outstanding for [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] S40, a versatile contributor who impacts games in a major way whether she scores or she doesn't. Over the past two rankings cycles, Haven has risen 35 positions.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#67 [player_tooltip player_id='453736' first='Sydney' last='Dahl'] – Sneaky good. That's how we've always felt about the versatile 6-footer from Minnewaska. Dahl made a name for herself on the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit over the past couple of summers with [program_tooltip program_id='713021' first='West' last='Central United']. Her game is subtle but effective, innocuous but impactful. The versatile performer, who can defend all five positions, has committed to MSU-Moorhead. She rises 14 spots.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#76 [player_tooltip player_id='212488' first='Myah' last='Maull'] – The Eastview guard has always been an explosive athlete with the ability to turn a game on its ear. Over time, Myah's game has evolved and she has refined those capabilities while forging herself into an impactful performer night in and night out. The combo guard from Real Phenom S40 is strong and physical and very active on the defensive end. Maul moves up 15 places.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#147 [player_tooltip player_id='676688' first='Ali' last='Simonson'] – The 5'11 forward from Farmington may turn out to be the quintessential late bloomer. That potential has always been there. Now, with a healthy injection of assertiveness and a boost in confidence, Simonson has made it clear she can be a successful collegiate player. Ali has length, size and athleticism, is a quality shooter, and offers defensive presence and energy. She's up 18 places.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OTHER NOTABLE STOCK RISERS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#54 [player_tooltip player_id='595564' first='Abby' last='John'] – The MSU-Moorhead commit from Barnesville ([program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] Smart) rises seven places from #61 to #54. She's big, strong, athletic and skilled with a package of assets that will make her a great collegian.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#58 [player_tooltip player_id='453771' first='Macee' last='Linow'] – The crafty guard from Alexandria ([program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] West) can flat out score the basketball. She plays with pace and energy and has the skills to match. The Bemidji State commit moves from #65 to #58.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#63 [player_tooltip player_id='595568' first='Ella' last='Hardwick'] – The Eden Prairie guard had a tremendous breakout high school season, one that saw her evolve from role player to core contributor. Ella is a dedicated two-way performer who competes with passion on both ends of the floor. The Real Phenom athlete moves up from #71 to #63,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#71 [player_tooltip player_id='453734' first='Laynie' last='Meister'] – The big forward from Rochester John Marshall has really come into her own this year. She looked good this winter, but seeing her with [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] Southeast this spring has been a revelation. She has size, strength and a scorer's touch. Meister is up from #78 to #71.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#90 [player_tooltip player_id='453752' first='Aubrey' last='Burkhart'] – Aubrey is quick and skillful and smart, three attributes that look good on a point guard. This winter at Southwest Christian, and again in the spring on [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] Peterson, Burkhardt has shown that she has the chops for the college game. She rises from #97 to #90.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>#95 [player_tooltip player_id='520266' first='Desirai' last='Chappell'] – The Richfield guard is another one who made a name for herself on the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. Now with Real Phenom S40, the explosive athlete has been able to do the same against a different slate of opponents by using her elite quickness and crafty ball handling. Chappell moves up from #102 to #95.</p>
