2028 Rankings- Rounding out the Top 20

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is very early in their career, and with the release of the 2028 rankings, there is a lot of time for kids to shirt around in the rankings. It is hard telling who will be #1 next year at this time as the players develop throughout their upcoming freshman season. Today, I take a look at the #16-#20 ranked players in the initial ranking release for this class around Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note, a lot can and probably will change over the next three years as some players blossom and grow, passing kids in the rankings. Still others will be added after seeing them this fall and throughout the upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974104"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d09b023908e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very shifty guard with excellent handles. Able to work her way to the rim and finish. Great release from long range, smooth shooter and can knock down the triple. She has super quick hands on the defensive end of the floor, able to create and produce for her team. She debuts at #16.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874431"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d09b023910f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One word for her is electric! Janay has a great demeanor on the court, can play the game uptempo and has skilled handles making her a challenge to defend. Quick and athletic, her defense is game changing. The ceiling is high for her! Makes her start at #17. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974116"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d09b0239157"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid caught my attention right away the way she handles herself in any situation on the court. She has great handles with a sharp outside game and continues to put in the time for her game to improve. Thea starts her journey at #18 in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1091546],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d09b0239195"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very impressive all-around game, Ava is a player who should continue to improve with her dedication in the gym. Plays 94' and works hard on both ends of the court. Runs the floor well, not afraid to contact and makes the right play for her team. Good inside/out player. Ava makes her mark at #19 in the first 2028 rankings. <em>(Featured photo above)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["835244"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d09b02391d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I can tell you, the folks at Madison Plains have been waiting for her! Anna has a great compete game with a very high basketball IQ. She can defend and force mistakes, and with the ball in her hands, there isn't much she can't do. Expect her team to gravitate toward her as she helps lead MP to an improved season. Anna is ranked #20 in the initial rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
