December Rankings Update: 2025 Rim Runners

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As expected, the 2024 high school season is off to a thrilling start. Since our September rankings update, Danyle and I have been actively evaluating prospects across the state. We found several new 2025 prospects and observed others who impressed us mightily, which resulted in a higher ranking. Here are a few center prospects who either moved up or made our rankings for the first time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2025","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12120","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"3","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675c6f616840c"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rankings Risers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["419535"],"_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-675c6f6169bf8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabby looks to be in peak physical form right now and she showed her strength in front of our scouts to move up in the rankings. Her relentless rebounding presence leads to putbacks and transition scoring for the Zebras. She communicates and sparks the team with her defensive effort inside. Gabby finishes through contact and her impact against tough competition deserves recognition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["336023"],"_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-675c6f6169c5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nour climbed the rankings in our latest update by showing an impressive combination of height, strength, footwork, finishing, and shooting out of the high post. She blocks shots on the defensive end, secures rebounds, and scores contested buckets with effective pivots. Nour is an exciting front-court prospect to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/big-cat-fall-league-recap/">Read More About Nour</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["716692"],"_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-675c6f6169ca3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kennedy had some nagging injuries during the travel season and she appears to be back to full strength early in the season for the Eagles. Kennedy was the most impactful player for Hartland against a top 20 opponent last weekend, which resulted in victory for her team. Her rebounding presence, height, and finishing inside give her the potential to play at the next level. Kennedy earned a rankings boost as a result of her performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/12/first-team-all-showcase-at-swartz-creek/">Read More About Kennedy</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Additions</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051213"],"_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-675c6f6169ce9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lilly earned All-Conference Second Team Honors last season and appears to be on track for a higher nomination in 2024. She drives with a burst downhill from the high post and uses her staple spin dribble step-through move to finish at the rim. Lilly has the confidence to shoot outside and in the high post. She consistently blocks shots and disrupts offensive players with her length. Lilly earned a ranking and will be a recruit of interest to coaches at the next level once they see her play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-25-season-preview-lakes-valley/">Read More About Lilly </a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1057281"],"_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-675c6f6169d31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madison is a strong center prospect who is a double-double threat every night. She finishes effectively with a soft touch around the basket and gives her team a solid rebounding presence on both ends. Madison runs the floor in transition to score layups and is a very efficient free-throw shooter. She earned a ranking and will be a center prospect to watch for the Huskies this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/12/huskies-howl-in-season-opener/">Read More About Madison</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1105893"],"_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-675c6f6169d76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lauren has shown potential this season for the Bobcats. Her length and versatility on offense are intriguing as a front-court prospect. She hits shots from outside and disrupts passes with her length. Lauren earned a spot in our rankings and is a center I'm interested in watching more of this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
