<p class="text-gray-700"><em>As of now, Johnson holds the title as one of the top players in this class. From a skillset standpoint, there are not many who can compete. She has the length, the body control, and the confidence to match. She joined the famed All Iowa Attack at the top of this year, which can only point to success.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>Another player who is simply way beyond her years and has earned the nod as a potential number one prospect in the state. Her ability to get her shot off from multiple angles and spots is one of her most intriguing attributes. Her frame and length are what colleges will notice first, especially if there is still room to grow.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>Watson seems to be aware of how good she is at her age, but I do not think she fully realizes how high her upside truly is. She already has all the intangibles, and as her skillset continues to sharpen over time, it will match up perfectly.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>Raymond is in the category with those players who will be a top tier prospect in this class, and at her size she is already ahead of the game when it comes to colleges being interested. She is a true 6-foot-plus post player, and she has a sharp but growing skillset that matches well with her footwork. She has a great feel for the game and for where she is at on the court. Special type of prospect.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>Logan's ability to stretch the court is going to be a big reason why she could end up as a top 10 player in this class. She has a consistent shooting form that rarely changes, no matter the contest, angle, or distance. She's beyond confident from those spots and makes defenses pay because of it.</em></p>
