<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over 3.5 years of high school ball is logged in for a majority of these girls, and with their last AAU season wrapped up this past summer, winter ball is ahead. Some players are committed, others are going through their offers, and some players are locking up for a senior season that college coaches need to tune into. With only 60 players ranked for the senior class, these players are, in our opinion, some of the best college prospects (D1-D3).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are our stock risers in the top 50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2025-rankings/">Class of 2025 Rankings</a></h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618213"],"_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-66eb6c929a52a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierson is an athlete, plain and simple. A multi-sport athlete who plays the game with aggression and pace. Each year, she has added another level of skill and confidence to her game. From all angles on the court, she is a problem to deal with. Looking forward to seeing how her game translates at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["675826"],"_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-66eb6c929a581"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No matter the coach or program, players like Asia are always needed and appreciated. She's versatile, long, athletic, and can play multiple roles for a team—a rim runner, paint blanket, or even a board cleaner. She's your do-it-all type of player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["663393"],"_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-66eb6c929a5c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The recent Wash U commit has been on a lot of coaches and scouts radar this past AAU season and when you actually sit down and analyze her game, you understand why. She can be plugged into many different roles, and she doesn't seem to have an ego for whatever that role is or isnt. She can score if needed, and has no problem defending all positions is asked. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769627"],"_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-66eb6c929a5ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What most people see as a negative, Shields has turned into a positive. On the offensive side of the ball, Alana can score in the midrange and at the rim. She does a solid job of baiting the defense to crowd the paint, then makes plays for players on the perimeter or those cutting. Defensively, she uses her speed and height to her advantage. She's up in your face on every dribble and has a great defensive stance. A college program will get a player with a ton of heart.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["674528"],"_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-66eb6c929a63b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conwell is still overlooked, in my opinion. This kid can be a shutdown point guard on the defensive end, as well as a floor leader on the offensive side. She has solid handles and vision, and knows when and what angles to attack. I think this year at Butler, Conwell will take a huge leap in her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
