Top 20 Contenders – 2028s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our next group of top 20 contenders comes from the 2028 class. Some are knocking on the door and close to breaking through, while others still have some ground to cover but carry the kind of upside that could make them big risers. Here are the players we've got on our top 20 radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1092176"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68d9ef77451f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mollee is a true stretch-four with massive upside. She's long and rangy for her age, with the handles to push in transition and the touch to step out and knock it down from the perimeter. Around the rim, her length and polished footwork make her tough to stop, and she cleans the glass like few others. Defensively, she's versatile enough to switch across positions and still protect the paint as a shot-blocking presence. A rebounding machine with a modern big skillset, she's one to keep an eye on. She could be a huge riser to reach the top 20 mark and a high-level catch for bigger schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904995"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1320825,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68daa79e3b0bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Audri had a standout summer and has kept grinding this fall, setting herself up to be a key contributor for Dixie this season. She's got the ability to stretch the floor and knock down open looks, while also taking on the challenge of guarding 1 through 5. Expect her to take a big leap in both production and impact as she makes the jump from freshman to sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997499"],"_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-68daa79e3b1e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile wing who can flat-out do it all. She's got great length for her spot on the floor and the kind of upside that makes her ceiling sky-high. A true three-level scorer who can also slide in as a secondary ball handler, she brings constant pressure on both ends. Defensively, she's aggressive and switchable, able to guard 1 through 5. In transition, she's lethal—pushing the pace and finishing strong. Watch this one to be a D1 prospect as she gets more time on the hardwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974008"],"_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-68daa79e3b1a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emeli just wrapped up another summer competing with the Tongan national team, and it shows in her game. Her strength and speed, combined with a much-improved shooting touch, make her a tough matchup at the guard spot. Don't be surprised if Dhills puts the ball in her hands often and runs much of their offense through her this season. An easy rankings riser this year, given the opportunities in front of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["873756"],"_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-68daa79e3b15a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie is another player making a move to a new school this season, bringing valuable varsity experience with her. She'll be leaned on to help Timpanogos stay competitive, using her vision to find open shooters and her defensive instincts to create turnovers and steals. With her versatility on both ends of the floor, she has the tools to step into a leadership role right away. She's close to breaking into the top 20 already, but her new leadership could be just the piece to make that happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
