<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the summer season heats up, so does the recruiting trail. From players picking up their first offers to proven prospects adding high-major attention, June has been full of movement. Here's a look at a few players whose stock is on the rise and are making noise on the recruiting trail.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747645"],"_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-6863215448f15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Top 2027 shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='747645' first='Haylee' last='Noel'] continues to rack up Division I offers. Earlier this month, she announced an offer from Radford University, and just last week, she picked up a high-major offer from Seton Hall of the Big East Conference. Her recruitment is gaining serious momentum, and with her skill set and upside, Haylee is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after prospects in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741172"],"_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-6863215448f78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Franklin County star [player_tooltip player_id='741172' first='Makiyia' last='Wheeler'] continues to draw Division I attention, recently adding two more offers to her list. After an unofficial visit and standout performance at UMBC's elite camp, she picked up an offer from the Retrievers. Just days later, she impressed enough at Austin Peay's elite camp, and earned another D1 offer. Makiyia now holds four Division I offers, with more likely to come before the start of her junior season. Her recruitment is heating up, and she's definitely a name to keep on your radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["418066"],"_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-68632912d6fca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After the junior season Destiny put together, it was only a matter of time before the offers started rolling in. The No. 1 center in the 2026 class added more offers to her bag this month from Motlow State, John A. Logan, and Olney Central College, bringing her total to five college offers since the start of the AAU season, and it's safe to say, she's not done yet. Destiny's size, skill, and presence in the paint make her one of the most dominant post players in her class, and her recruitment continues to trend upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747666"],"_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-6863215449003"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='747666' first='Mia' last='Braffet'] announced she received an offer from Simmons College following a workout with Head Coach Earl Ruffin last week.

With her craftiness, high basketball IQ, and ability to run the show while getting others involved, Anna's game is built to translate smoothly to the college level. She's gaining momentum on the recruiting trail, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see more offers roll in soon.
