Spring Rankings Update: 2029 Power Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are midway through the Spring, and we have updated the prospect rankings in all four graduating classes currently enrolled in high school. For the ladies in the Class of 2029, this is the first time any of them have truly been ranked on PGH Indiana. The overall list (<em>rankings &amp; watch list included</em>) has expanded from 75 total prospects to 100 total prospects, and there is now a Top 25. With that said, below is a look at all of the power forward prospects in the Class of 2029. Below the rankings chart are some quick updates on a handful of uncommitted prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2029","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12122","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f402908236a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263949"],"_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-69f40df6a098a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cora got off to a nice start to her high school career. She averaged 10.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, but she was also utilized in other ways. She helped to handle the ball at times to beat pressure up the court, and she played some around the perimeter as well, showing her inside-out skillset. She is extremely long, fluidly athletic, somewhat bouncy, and she plays with a nice motor for someone her height. I would anticipate as she ages, she will continue to work on her skillset and play with the versatility to be a wing or a power forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231497"],"_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-69f40df6a09e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Huntington North has some good young talent in their program, especially in the backcourt, but Ruby came in as a rookie this year and stood out as well along the frontline. She averaged 8.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game as a Freshman, and she should only get better as she continues to gain experience. She has a little skill facing the basket, but she's much more effective and consistent around the basket. Her ability to control the paint will help the Lady Vikings as their perimeter shooters get shots up, but look for Ruby to also nearly double her scoring in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1827747"],"_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-69f40df6a0a2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ava is a really nice small school front-liner who stepped in and contributed to the Varsity level immediately. She averaged 13.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 3.3 steals per game, showcasing her versatility, along with her physicality and ability to be a top performer around the lane. She is a solid athlete and has some length, plus she knocked down a handful of open 3-pointers this season. I especially look for her to be much more involved around the perimeter in the years to come, making her a really nice inside-out forward prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
