Freshman 50: Top 2029 prospects 6 through 10

This week we are unveiling the Prep Girls Hoops Freshman 50 – our annual ranking of the top 50 ninth grade college basketball prospects in Minnesota. This year that's the Class of 2029. On Monday we brought you prospects #1 through #5 – [player_tooltip player_id='872714' first='Beckett' last='Greenway'], [player_tooltip player_id='932145' first='Brielle' last='Denkmann'], [player_tooltip player_id='897060' first='Madeleine' last='Hamiel'], [player_tooltip player_id='994855' first='Izze' last='Austin'] and [player_tooltip player_id='884449' first='Andie' last='Changamire']. Today we deliver #6 through #10.    #6: As the Prep Girls Hoops 2029 AAU Breakout Player of the Year, it's clear that Willis is on a major upward trajectory. The quick, crafty guard, who played up one year for the [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] this summer, is an offensive dynamo who can hit shots off the catch-and-shoot or just as easily create her own look off the dribble. Kiera brings a calm, business-like demeanor to the court, while also playing with a fiery, competitive spirit. The Benilde-St. Margaret's freshman has an innate feel for the game, a tireless work ethic, and a serious amount of finesse. There is no doubt that Willis will be a crucial component for the Red Knights this winter as a 9th grader.     #7: A standout member of the [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] EYBL squad this summer, Staloch brings tremendous length and athleticism to the court. The 6-foot wing is highly skilled with sound fundamentals, allowing her to impact the game in a variety of ways. Jordan's offensive game is fluid, and she can consistently score in a variety of ways. She averaged just over 8 points per game in her 8th grade season with the Jaguars. On the defensive end, Staloch uses her length to disrupt the passing lanes, create pressure on the perimeter, and out-rebound her opponents. Just last month she received another D1 offer, this time from St. Thomas.     #8: Henrikson made a big jump over the AAU season, leading the way for [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Yellow all summer. With the ability to score at every level, distribute the ball, and push the pace in transition, the 5'10 guard poses a major threat on the offensive end. On the other side of the floor, Macie brings physicality, a never-ending motor, and her ultra-competitive nature every time she steps on the court. She will be a major addition to the Lakeville South Roster this winter, contributing some serious depth to Coach Blake Nicols' rotation.     #9: The Cretin-Derham Hall freshman made a major impact for the Raiders last season, both on their journey to and at the State Tournament. For those familiar with her game, it was no surprise seeing Deleeuw bring her elite basketball IQ and playmaking abilities to the big stage. With a high level of skill, tremendous poise, and ability to score the ball at multiple levels, the 5'7 guard continues to make an impression on scouts and college coaches alike. There is no doubt that Isabella is both a gritty competitor and one of the state's up-and-coming point guards.      #10: Kelm's game is that of a fierce competitor who is willing to do whatever it takes to get her team the win. With tremendous speed, bounce, and overall athleticism, the Byron freshman was a key contributor for [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] EYBL this summer. Using both her quickness and tireless work ethic, Raegan is highly impactful as both a perimeter defender and a transition scorer. Following the graduation of North Dakota commit Kendra Harvey, the 5'9 guard is likely to play a much larger role for the Bears this winter. With an innate feel for the game and plenty of potential, Kelm is ready for the task at hand.
