Class Of 2029 Updated College Prospect Rankings: Rising Freshmen

<!-- 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 are heading into the season with rising stock.</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":["1250132"],"_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-691bad9525255"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Estabrook has such a smooth and sharpened skillset for her age, and also has the size to match it. She can score at all levels and never seems rattled or thrown off. Poised, but aggressive when the possession calls for it. She could have a big year and play some high volume minutes for Geneva.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225771"],"_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-691bad95252dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Benson will easily be one of the best guards in this class this year, especially playing for a program that will utilize her in a multitude of ways. She can be your offensive threat when called on, but will for sure cause issues on the defensive side, which could be her calling card this season. A player to keep an eye on. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217205"],"_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-691bad9525334"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Regardless of what level Brennan will play this year, this kid will make things happen when she gets on the court. She has no fear on the drive and gets right back up if she's knocked down. Having that much heart at a young age usually points in the right direction for growth. Big fan of how she approaches the game.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881508"],"_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-691bad952538a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>LaMonte's defense will be key to her being impactful when she gets those varsity minutes. She's a scrappy player who isn't afraid to dive headfirst into the mix. She can contest on the perimeter and cause second thoughts on the drive. Offensively, she can stretch beyond the three and can use some speed to finish at the rim.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246058"],"_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>Timmerman is a player to keep your best eye on over the next 4 years. She could definitely be one of the better players from Southern Illinois in this class, and already has the skillset to land her in the Top 30 prospects in this class. On both ends of the ball, she plays aggressively, and her playmaking ability on the offensive side is what sticks out the most. Strong upside.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2029-watch-list/"><strong>CLASS OF 2029 UPDATED COLLEGE PROSPECT RANKINGS</strong></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
