She has the length and height to put her in her own category as far as intriguing prospects, but the skillset has been growing, and scouts over the nation are taking notice. Whitney Young is known for having some of the best prospects to come out of Chicago, let alone the state.

Potential is there. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Some sophomores have already shown flashes of what they can bring, and heading into this year, they'll be looked at to take even bigger steps. The growth is starting to show, and a few of them could change things for their programs in a big way. Below are some names to keep an eye on.
