2028 Rankings- Top 5 in Ohio

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome to the Class of 2028, the first look at these incoming high school freshman as they step foot for the first time on a varsity basketball court. These are selected based on what we have seen in the summer/fall and strong recommendations . The initial rankings for 2028 will consist of 30 total players including the top 20 and a watch list of kids knocking at the door. When we expand during our November update, this list will grow to include other players we saw at the PGH Freshman Showcase and fall leagues. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First up, a look at the top 5 2028 players heading into their first ranking.

Explosive play-maker, with such a natural feel for the game.&nbsp; It doesn't matter if she's double teamed because she uses her speed, under control moves, and fantastic handles to blow past anyone in her way! Ohio State has already offered her a scholarship.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966457"],"_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-66ca3dc475b8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Erin is a bigtime prospect and has already received numerous major D1 offers From what I am hearing she has received offers from Dayton, Michigan State, Michigan and Florida State to name a few.

Erin starts her ranking at #2 in Ohio in the 2028 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966449"],"_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-66ca43f9d33bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sydney makes the move to begin her high school career at Laurel, and she is the freshman in Northeast Ohio who will put teams on notice. Strong physical presence who can control both ends of the floor and plays above her years.

Just watching a little footage of her game, there isn't anything she can't do. Runs the floor, great catch and shoot, strong on the boards and can lead the break. Debuts at #4 in Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966460"],"_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-66ca43f9d344b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Janiyah is an explosive player with a great future in the game. She has offers from a lot of P5 and it will just continue to grow. Very quick and explosive with good elevation on her shot. Can shoot the midrange or get by you and finish at the rim.
