<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>O'Leary is a feared downlow. She operates well on the blocks and makes herself a major target after sealing defenders on her backside. Her angles created force defenders into awkward positions to properly contest. The pressure she applies in and around the paint must be noted. Shannon's presence must be accounted for on defense too. She's active and agile, making drivers second-guess their takes. O'Leary is coming into the season as the #34 ranked player in the class. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Abelard has been a joy to watch grow as a player over the year. Her overall progression is a testament to her hard work as well as dedication to the game. There's no question she's one of the top 2-way guards in the class. Abelard is consistent plus she can play at least 3 different positions comfortably. Anjolie is now ranked #16 overall. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A very efficient player that offers a great deal of effort in each possession. The physical nature of her game can be intimidating to go up against. Her toughness, relentlessness and ability to fill the needs of her team without hesitation were all factored into her new positioning within the class. Vanderburg is a name to be familiar with this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224065' first='Camilla' last='Jordan'] (2028) | 5'10 SF | Kingswood Oxford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Camilla is one of the top 2-way wing talents in the entire class. She's a bit more defensively focused right now, but the offense shouldn't be underestimated. She's explosive in her strides and as she gets more comfortable as a secondary ballhandler, she'll wreak havoc in the halfcourt. Jordan's physical tools as well as her production within the team's roles bumps her up a few spots. It'll be interesting to see what Camilla can do this season. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What a tremendous guard talent DeJesus is. She has great facilitation skills and her natural ability to lead is clear when watching her. Her size as well as ball control allow her to be efficient. Saige has what it takes to play in any style of game plus she can log heavy minutes. This update has her as the #33 ranked player in the class now. </p>
