<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Session one of the 2025 AAU season has ended, and you know what that means: it's time for a Prep Girls Hoops Michigan rankings update! The 2028 list now stands at 202 total prospects ranked and on the watch list. After evaluating the talent at several tournaments these past two months, here are a few of those prospects who earned a spot inside the top 101. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239717"],"_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-68471bea904e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evia has the length and fundamental skills needed to be targeted as a next-level prospect. She shoots accurately from the perimeter, finishes layups with excellent touch, handles the ball with confidence, and distributes accurate passes to teammates. I expect her to have an even bigger season for Bloomfield Hills as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/2028-point-guard-puts-on-a-clinic/">Read More About Evia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246061"],"_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-68471bea9053f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma is a splash sister who has made massive waves in May with [program_tooltip program_id='1249476' first='Lakeside' last='Basketball Academy']. She broke out onto the scene at The Smoke and followed that up with a huge weekend at the PGH Michigan State Tournament. Emma was a killer from 3-point range, skilled passer, interior scorer, and strong finisher off the dribble. Emma earned All-Tournament First Team honors and helped Lakeside finish runner-up. She has the measurables and skills to be a highly targeted college prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/michigan-state-tournament-16u-all-tourney-team/">Read More About Emma</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246081"],"_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-68471bea90587"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia is a splash sister who wears #77, and her performances this May have lived up to that number. She had a breakout tournament at The Smoke as a perimeter scorere, while moving effectively without the ball. Olivia turned in a tsunami-sized weekend at our PGH Michigan State tournament, reigning down three-pointers, crashing the boards to secure rebounds, and making plays with her hard drives to the basket. She earned All-Tournament First Team honors while helping Lakeside to a runner-up finish. Olivia has proven she has the measurables and abilities to be a highly targeted college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/michigan-state-tournament-16u-all-tourney-team/">Read More About Olivia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249879"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1256040,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68471bea905e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery has a towering stature that immediately demands your attention when she steps onto the court. At the PGH Michigan State Tournament, Avery moved to gaps in the zone and finished shots around the rim off two feet. Avery secured offensive rebounds to score put backs and runs the floor well. She looks like a forward who can grow into a very promising college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/24865713/67be96d03877bc266fb7b0fc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68471bea907b4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221157"],"_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-68471bea90804"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maliyah was very impressive at [program_tooltip program_id='715769' first='Pride' last='Basketball 21'] practice when I saw her for the first time, and has continued to demonstrate her potential as a promising prospect throughout the spring. Maliyah has explosive quickness and shifty handles that make her a tough guard to stay in front of off the dribble. She is extremely competitive and finishes through contact at the rim. Maliyah pressures the ball from sideline to sideline and generates many steals on the defensive end. She looks ready to have a breakout sophomore season for Saginaw United. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/pride-basketball-21-practice/">Read More About Maliyah</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252904"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1256036,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68471bea90857"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sydney represented the Mitten well while playing up in the 17U division with [program_tooltip program_id='1252792' first='Soil' last='Basketball'] at the PGH Victory Region Finals. She has length and versatility as a guard/forward that will not only make her an excellent high school player, but a prospect targeted at the next level. Sydney drove hard downhill to cause fouls, dished quick passes to teammates for assists, blocked shots in the paint, and snagged steals on the defensive end. She buried a straightaway three-pointer and pushed the ball quickly up the court with both hands in transition. I anticipate a breakout sophomore season coming for Sydney at Lakeshore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
