More Summer Stock Risers

The plan is to start updating rankings either tomorrow or the day after that. Today, I'd like to highlight a few more players who've impressed me this summer. I've watched most of the AAU programs in the state at this point and will discuss some of the players who have raised their stock this summer.   [player_tooltip player_id='992492' first='Ellie' last='Pudelko']   The Tosa East wing/forward didn't play much in her first season because of the talent that helped the Red Raiders win a state title. However, Pudelko built muscle during the season, and now is a physical four who can play around the basket and has some ability to handle the ball. There is a solid chance that she could slot into a significant role with Hawk graduating this spring, and could have an excellent season with the talent in the backcourt that Wauwatosa East has.   [player_tooltip player_id='772587' first='Abigail' last='Tassoul']   The De Pere native had an excellent junior season, leading her team to its first FRCC title in some time. Tassoul controls the offense well and is a dynamic threat who can create her shot off the dribble or generate open looks for her teammates. I thought she stepped into a high-usage role well and looked comfortable being the focal point of the offense, even though it wasn't something she'd done that much before. She'll be a steal for a small school at the next level.   [player_tooltip player_id='533062' first='Tay' last='Maass']   I've discussed why I like Maass' game so much this summer. Her ability to control the area around the basket and be physical with anyone she matches up with allows her to be effective no matter who she's lined up against. She has touch around the basket and can finish with either hand in the paint, and is a post player that you can throw the ball to around the basket and expect her to get a good shot or get fouled. Maass will be a productive player at the next level.   [player_tooltip player_id='751281' first='Rita' last='Kuepper']   Anytime Kuepper plays a high-profile conference game or a team that can beat hers, she plays her best. Kuepper doesn't seem to feel pressure and thrives when pressure is at its highest. The Hartford native can knock down shots from anywhere on the floor and can create those shots whenever she wants. She makes the game look easy on the offensive end of the floor, and she's continually improved her game on the defensive end over the last few seasons.
