<p>This is a list of players from all over the state, from class of 2025 to 2027. The first five are in order as I see aa the best in the state. This is a hot list for college teams needing impact players from the highest of levels and down to Division 2 and Jr. College. For a lot of players it's the right fit, not necessarily the best offer that makes the most sense. All these players should have plenty of opportunity to make that decision Some have, [player_tooltip player_id='366890' first='Brynn' last='McGaughy'] - UW, and [player_tooltip player_id='367327' first='Malia' last='Ruud'] - WSU will become friendly rivals in the Pac-12 staying in state.Players with asterisk are underclassmen who could step up to the top 5 before it's all said and done in their high school career.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My top 5 prospects in the state of Washington - In order - </h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id='317132' first='Brooklynn' last='Haywood'] - I'd be hard pressed to find a more skilled player. Over twenty D1 offers and counting for the junior to be. Elite of the elite shooter, ball-handling, mid-range, vision, IQ. Her arsenal is the fullest in the state. She has been ranked as high as the #3 PG in the class of 2026 nationally.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id='366890' first='Brynn' last='McGaughy'] -Highly sought recruit staying at home and signing with UW. Size, skill, she is a special talent.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id='435687' first='Oliviyah' last='Edwards'] - She will be a welcome gift when she gets to college. She has some of the most unique combo of length and skill in the country and has been recognized as so, ranked as high as #5 nationally in the class of 2026. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id='391867' first='Sarah' last='Lessig'] - A top level athlete has the makings of an athletic frontcourt player who would be best suited at the three, but she can roam.. After winning three state titles with Garfield teams loaded with talent, she'll have a bit more freedom to get shots next year She can and does get them from offensive rebounds, turn around jumpers in the lane, around the basket with a smoothness. Inside-out player with the length she has is a rarity. So is the skill-set. Special combo of size and skill in her own right. Great athlete</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='585032' first='Kaleo' last='Anderson'] - A top point guard recruit, she has that length, mix in the fact that every aspect of the point guard position she does at an elite level. </p>
