<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">For most of these <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2028-watch-list/">Class of 2028 </a>prospects, this is the end of their second varsity season. Though it's still early in their careers, in this new recruiting era, prospects start to separate themselves around this time, and it becomes clearer who can hang at the next level. As they head into their first year as upperclassmen, the responsibilities will pick up. The development from year one to year two matters, and below are some of the top names to who put their name on notice this season.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314071"],"_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-69b88576c2cf6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Nelton can play this game at a strong level. The simplicity of her skill set and the consistency with which she impacts the game are key as well. Offensively, she is not one to be left open. It's a clean, fluid shot, with no hesitation, but can also attack the rim without second thought. On the opposite end, she has quick hands that match well with her ability to make quick reads and decisions. Overall, she has everything in her repertoire that can make her a standout in this class. High upside.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936031"],"_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-69b88576c2aed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Nena has all the intangibles of a player who can be a standout in this class, and she made that known this season. The size, the athleticism, and the versatility show up on both ends as she's able to guard perimeter players and hold her own in the post. She's a strong presence who does most of her work near the rim on the offensive side. As she develops a confident and consistent jumper, she'll be a legit problem. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882032"],"_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-69b88576c2b93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>St. Charles East has found a high level guard who can keep up with anyone on the court, driven by the competitive fire and aggression she brings to every possession. She's a true spacing threat, and with no hesitation or second thoughts when she shoots, she forces defenses to adjust. That gravity opens things up for her teammates, especially since she can also put the ball on the floor and make plays off the bounce.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972333"],"_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-69b88576c2c0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Leading a team to a state finals trip is no easy task, and Gray did just that. She's a blur of an athlete and can finish through whatever contact presents itself. You can see the trust she has in her game, and she relies on the work she clearly puts in. Aggressive, quick, and never backing down from whoever is in front of her. Lots of heart.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180547"],"_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-69b88576c2c83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Munson had to take on multiple roles this year due to key injuries in her program, and she stepped up whenever her number was called. Her skill set is versatile, and she can get a bucket at any level when needed, especially from outside of the arc. She's longer than her listed height, which shows up on the glass and makes her tough to deal with. The potential is definitely there. Strong name to watch this AAU season.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2028-watch-list/">CLASS OF 2028 RANKINGS</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
