The Top 25 Just Shifted in the Updated Class of 2028 Rankings

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2028-watch-list/">The Class of 2028</a> is still young and early in the evaluation process. These are college prospect rankings, not a list of the best high school players. Most of the movement in this update is based on legit offers, skill level, and projecting college athleticism and frame, including speed, strength, and size. High school success has some consideration, but it carries less weight at this stage. Film, live evaluation, and conversations with college coaches, AAU directors, and high school coaches helped shape this update and show which players are starting to separate.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Below are a couple of prospects who made moves in the Top 25</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["955657"],"_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-695c035f411c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Marlee has all the intangibles and a solid skillset at her age, and she has figured out how to put it together enough to be one of the top prospects in this state.

As her game expands to more confidence in putting the ball on the ground, we can be looking at one of the next stars out of the Midwest. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882110"],"_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-695c035f41227"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Tierney has been my favorite player to watch so far this season, simply because of the assignments she's tasked with guarding, and there is no fear in her face or body language at all.
