Johnson being the number one prospect is a unanimous decision, and the offers that she's pulled in at this stage in her career give more of a stamp of approval for this decision.. big future for this kid.

Gage could find herself playing heavy minutes for a state champion team in her first year, and with a couple of offers already in hand, I'm sure she'll be picking up more soon to continue to separate herself from the pack.

I've heard that Loyola Academy's freshman class was deep, and seeing Noble a couple of weeks back proved what I've been hearing. This was truly my first time seeing her in a full game situation, and if this kid continues to play with that much poise and fundamental skill... There is no limit. She can score from all areas and knows how to play off the ball as well. Huge upside.

Calhoun has tremendous upside, and her ability to play the old school game while still being aggressive is key to why I believe she'll be a name to remember as the years go on. This incoming Loyola class is deep, and she's one of the main players who can help the program remain competitive.

There aren't too many players in this class that have high tier athleticism in their veins, and that's what Roe has used to dominate so far. As her skillset grows and expands, it wouldn't be a shocker to see this…
