Deck’s Deep Dive: Rankings, Rankings, Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The month of April is going to be all about updating the rankings on Prep Girls Hoops Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I outlined the publication schedule for our rankings updates for the 2028-2026 classes in a report in March.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each Tuesday for three weeks, starting next week, a new update will be published.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the meantime, athletes are encouraged to claim or create profiles to be included in the rankings. The college coaches who subscribe to our website appreciate profiles that include photos, video highlights, and contact information.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Club coaches interested in me scouting a practice or game can feel free to reach out. My June and July schedules are getting packed, but April and May are usually slower months for me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a quick look at four athletes who will have to wait a couple more weeks to find out where they landed in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424599"],"_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-67ebeb3fb74ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Welsh was a key role player for the Class 5A State Champion Saints. Although she was not the primary scorer for Aquinas, she was always a threat to score and understood her role in the offense. She made crisp passes and wise decisions on the court. She will be playing club ball for MOKAN.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["544016"],"_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-67ebeb3fb751a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hill parlayed a 13-point performance in the Class 5A State Tournament into a climb up the rankings. She is a solid threat from 3-point range and runs the floor well. Hill, like the rest of the Class of 2026, will want to return to the site on April 8 to see how high up the rankings she climbed. I saw her play twice for the Mavericks this past season. She was usually one of the first three players off the bench for Maize South. She posted quality minutes and could be leaned on even more next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["860460"],"_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-67ebfad4ba25d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wahwassuck is on the rankings express train and will be moving on up in the April 15, Class of 2027 rankings update. She averaged 14.3 points per game during the regular season for the Panthers. All of her numbers increased from her freshman season during her sophomore campaign. She formed a quality inside-outside scoring combination will forward KiWe Miller. The Panthers finished just short of qualifying for the State Tournament, but have two solid scorers to build around moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1156039"],"_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-67ebfad4ba2ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conkling is an athlete who will be debuting in the Class of 2028 rankings on April 22. I saw her play in the Class 2A State Tournament and was impressed with her game. She plays under control and fits in well with Moundridge's talented upperclassmen. She finished her freshman season scoring 7.1 points per game and grabbed 3.6 points per contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
