The 2028 update is live. Yesterday, we highlighted some of the top prospects in the 2028 group, and today we'll look at a few more players. Today's articles include the stock risers and new additions pieces that are up every time we have a rankings update. We may have more articles on this class heading into August, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.   [player_tooltip player_id='992492' first='Ellie' last='Pudelko']   The Tosa East wing/forward didn't see significant minutes in her first high school season, which culminated in a state title. Pudelko practiced with the Red Raiders every day and gained considerable muscle over the last 12 months. The Wauwatosa native was one of the players who stood out to me in her class when I watched her with her [program_tooltip program_id='713045' first='Wisconsin' last='Lakers'] 15U GUAA group. You don't see many kids with her size, athleticism, and skill.     [player_tooltip player_id='992499' first='Josie' last='Christian']   The Lomira guard was one of the best scorers in the Flyway Conference last season. However, Christian found ways to put the ball in the basket when I watched her play in Ohio back in April. Her ability to find ways to score the ball and be a consistent offensive threat whenever she's on the floor forces defenses to pay special attention to her. She will also continue to improve with time.   [player_tooltip player_id='904623' first='Emilia' last='MontMarquette']   I'd argue MontMarquette was the main reason the Appleton East Patriots earned a trip to the state tournament last season. MontMarquette balanced a team that had multiple players who needed the ball to be themselves. The rising sophomore is a player who plays away from the ball, but is a player who wants to move the ball more than create for herself off the dribble. MontMarquette can get the most out of any group she plays with.   [player_tooltip player_id='931583' first='Brooklyn' last='Luehring']   The Kettle Moraine Lutheran guard is a player whom I recently highlighted as someone who could have a breakout season in her sophomore season. The lefty has shown she can knock down shots on the perimeter and attack the basket off the dribble. There is also plenty of trust from her coaches to assign her to defend the most threatening players on the opposing offense, and she has the tools to defend at a high level. Luehring could be a player who establishes herself as one of the best in D3, and may lead her Chargers group to another deep postseason run in 2025-26.
