Summer Stock Boosters: Senior Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've made it through spring AAU and "June ball" and players will be back in school before you know it. With a bunch of movement in the rankings this summer, let's take a look at some of the biggest stock boosters in the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1172560"],"_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-6862b8d8a5b6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mollie doesn't get many headlines but she qualifies as "gets things done". She led Bullitt East in most statistical categories as a Junior despite having several teammates with more pub ahead of her, Johnston averaged nearly a double-double last season and is a legitimate three level scorer. East is right in the mix to win the 6th region this season and don't sleep on Mollie as a potential regional player of the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818840"],"_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-6862b8d8a5bd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is some potential that GRC is vulnerable this season in the 10th region. For that to become a reality, Isabella has to continue her ascent towards the top of the 10th region players. Jayasuriya is a threat to score from all over the court and is perhaps the single most valuable player in the region heading into this season. With her ability to be consistent from three and adding nearly double figure rebounds per game, don't sleep on her being the 10th region POY this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1047022"],"_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-6862b8d8a5c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most prolific rebounders in Kentucky, Payton averaged nearly 14 rebounds per game last season in addition to 13 points per game. Burgess is not giant at only 5'11 but rebounding is about want to moreso than technique or skill. Beyond her ability to rebound at a high level, Payton is highly effective around the bucket and becoming more consistent as a shooter from range. Don't overlook Payton when mentioning scholarship level prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879343"],"_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-6862b8d8a5c68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A volume scorer who has North Hardin in the mix to win the 5th region, Alanah is not far off from being a 15+ point per game scorer. Dubose is primarily a three point shooter but actually is a more efficient player when she doesn't settle for threes and attacks the rim instead. If Alanah can continue to evolve into a lockdown defender in addition to her offensive game, look for her to start getting attention from college coaches at every level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
