<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">With the season kicking off this week, we will finally get to see how some of the top freshman perform in their first high school games. With all freshmen not making varsity teams for a handful of reasons that are sometimes out of their control, we can't see everyone, so it's important to note that these freshman rankings are heavily weighted toward those who already have offers, those who are undeniably skilled, and players who have legit college interest. We have extended the rankings from 10 to 25 for this update, as well as added 10+ prospects to our <em>Watch List</em>. Below are a couple of freshmen who have a solid amount of versatility in their game. </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2029-watch-list/"><strong>CLASS OF 2029 UPDATED COLLEGE PROSPECT RANKINGS</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306154"],"_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-691bad95253dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Johnson will be a matchup problem in a majority of the games she plays.
