[player_tooltip player_id='898167' first='Braelyn' last='Blackwill'], 5'7”, SG, Quinter, ‘28   Quinter's Blackwill is the new top-ranked athlete in the Kansas Class of 2028. She was previously ranked No. 3 overall. She finished with an outstanding freshman season. She has all-around ball skills that will only improve with age and gained experience. She scored 15.5 points per game for the Bulldogs. She also averaged 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 steals, and 2.7 assists per contest.   [player_tooltip player_id='817014' first='Jenna' last='Schmeidler'], 5'6”, PG, Hays, ‘28   Schmeidler jumped from No. 8 overall to No. 2. I saw this freshman play in the Class 5A State Tournament and was impressed with her game. She averaged 16 points per game and shot an eye-popping 90 percent from the free-throw line. She already has all the intangibles college coaches want to see in a leader. I also get the sense she is a loyal youngster who will make a college decision and stick with it.

[player_tooltip player_id='898363' first='Hailey' last='Caryl'], 5'10”, PF, Topeka High, ‘28   Caryl is ranked No. 4 overall and had one of the most impactful freshman seasons for a post.

She is can score from deep and her role for the Panthers will also get more significant moving forward. She loves shooting from deep and converted on 38 three-point field goal attempts as a freshman.
