2028 Rankings Update: Prospects That Impact Winning

Here's a look at five prospects in the Class of 2028 rankings who played key roles for their teams and consistently impacted winning in a variety of ways throughout their sophomore campaigns.    Kylie averaged 7.2 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 76.7% from the free-throw line during her sophomore season. A 6'0 wing/guard with high-major length, she runs the floor extremely well in transition and is an effective scorer around the rim. What truly stands out is her defensive versatility. Kylie has the ability to guard positions 1 through 4, and her length allows her to cover a lot of territory on that end of the floor. Her impact was evident in the Sweet 16 if you ask me, and she's a prospect who is just scratching the surface of her potential.     Holy Cross (Covington) put together an impressive 28–5 season, capturing their fifth straight All A Classic state title and advancing to the 9th Region Championship game. Jai came into her own during her sophomore campaign, averaging 13 points and 4 rebounds per game. A high-motor guard who plays bigger than her size, she can make shots from the perimeter and bully her way into the paint to score. A playmaker and ball-hawking defender, Johnson impacts the game on both ends of the floor and earned First Team All-Region honors.     Addison was the engine behind a Boyle County team that finished 27–5 and established itself as the top team in the 12th Region, capturing its first 45th District title since 2007. She led the team with 18.0 points per game while shooting 34.6% from three-point range and an efficient 80.1% from the free-throw line. A fearless scorer, Addison reached the 1,000-point milestone in her career and consistently delivered in big moments throughout the season. Her production earned her First Team All-Region honors, solidifying her impact on one of the states top teams.     Kyleigh averaged 10.9 points per game and was a key contributor for George Rogers Clark during its dominant 33–2 season and run to the program's first state championship. A reliable offensive option all season, she showcased her ability to shoot from the outside, knocking down 40.4% from three-point range while connecting on nearly two triples per contest. She showed noticeable growth and maturity as a sophomore and is poised for an even bigger junior season.     McKaila averaged 11.3 points and a team-leading 7.1 rebounds per game, helping lead the Lady Warriors to a 21-win season, a 48th District title, and a trip to the 12th Region Championship game. Her ability to score around the rim, protect the paint, and control the glass made a major impact on both ends of the floor. Her presence inside was a key factor in Southwestern's success throughout the season, and she was selected Third Team All-Region for her efforts.
