<p>These sophomores have spent a year making a name for themselves on the court. With some already receiving official college offers, our updated rankings reflect the growing interest these athletes are generating among college coaches. Below are some names that I believe coaches should follow into the high school season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">If you're looking for a do-it-all type of player, Taji fits that category. She has the athleticism, strength, and versatility that perfectly match her skillset. Explosive and high-energy. One of those players who could average a double-double in multiple categories. </p>

<p>Brown on the move is just as much of a threat as she is without the ball. From the block to the elbow, she shows solid footwork, and off ball screens, she knows when to hit the angles and when to pop up. With all the young talent surrounding her at Quincy, Brown will find herself in one-on-one situations and in plenty of ball screen actions. These types of situations will be key for coaches in assessing how high her potential is.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Heinz is the rim-running type of player that every program needs. She's the first one taking off if she's not the one to secure the rebound. She has high hands on every shot attempt and usually does a great job of staying straight up in the paint. Not a player who steps outside of her role.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">On the boards, Lamberti is as active as you need her to be. She's constantly looking to get in the right position to secure the ball or create a second attempt for the team. She also shows confidence from the outside. With nothing but time on her side, the potential will only grow. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pereda has all the tools to be one of the main options for a program: length, sharp fundamentals, and energy that can last a whole game. As her offensive skillset begins to mesh with systems and plays, I believe Pereda will be one of those players who can have multiple huge nights across the stat sheet.</p>
