Class of 2025 Rankings: Game Changing Shooters

Shooting changes games and there are prospect who can heat up in a hurry. And provide the gravity needed to create spacing for teammates.    One of the top scorers in the small town ranks is closing out her career in Class 5A for Shawnee. Expect her to raise to the nightly challenges by still handing out buckets. Especially as one of the tougher covers off the dribble in Oklahoma. Megehee has a silky smooth jumper, that allows her to feast in the mid-range. And connect from long distance. The Tulsa commit was impressive this spring and summer against quality competition across the country. Playing on a deeper grassroots team team, it was easy to see how she could potentially find her footing quickly for Tulsa with timely triples.     A Missouri Southern State commit, Matthews was a key component of Coweta's run to the Class 5A semifinals. Her combination of height and shooting makes her a valuable and versatile floor spacing weapon. She has a willingness to battle down low to help as a rebounder or even take a charge. But the lefty is at her best when spot up from three, with her textbook shooting form. Complete with range that extends a few feet beyond the high school three point line. With the Tigers returning much of their production from last year, expect Matthews to be at the forefront of another 5A State tournament push for the northeastern Oklahoma squad.     An off the dribble weapon, Ross is one of the more proficient pull up shooters in Oklahoma. She made it rain all summer long with impressive highlights and quickly getting into her shot off the dribble. If she's not accounted for in transition, odds are it's quickly going up after she crosses halfcourt as she has that type of range. Which has quite the impact of spreading out the defense. Ross is staying in Oklahoma, as she's picked in state D2 program, East Central as her future home. But expect her to be a red hot shooter this winter for the Lady Rockets.     A newcomer to Norman, Crawley was a quality shooter for Westmoore as a junior. She's likely to flourish on spot up opportunities this winter. But she's more than just a spot up specialist. With a good handle, capable of getting to her spots in the mid-range or even creating for deeper threes. Regional D2 programs have made Crawley a priority and her basketball career looks set to extend beyond her high school days.     Adkisson was one of the top performers all grassroots season. With her height, she doesn't need a lot of space to let it fly as a spot up specialist. Especially with a quicker release, and a repeatable form that often makes every shot look like it's going in. She also blossomed this summer with a good all around game, being very mobile and active for her height. Those traits allows her to make plays in transition and even help out as a rebounder/rim protector. The senior is set for a bigger role at Sapulpa this year, and for college will be headed out west to Southwestern Oklahoma State.     Shooting, or at the least the hard work that it takes to become an elite shooter seems to run in the Dolan family. As like her older brother Logan (who was also a standout at Broken Arrow), Peyton is a flat out weapon from beyond the three point line. She simply must be accounted from deep, and is perfect as a secondary guard who can help stretch the floor and provide valuable gravity. Mix in the combo of willingness and basketball IQ to be impactful on defense and there's a lot to like. As she's a great example of a player who knows and stars in her role.
