2028 Newcomers On The Wing

As we continue editing our rankings for the quarterly Summer update, it's now time to turn to the Class of 2028. This class will continue to have a Top 75 list, so there is no expansion there, however, the watch list will grow from 75 to 85 prospects, for a grand total of 160 prospects listed. With that said, and taking account for updates, there will be 11 new additions to the list in total. Below is a look at six wings who will be added once those rankings are released.   .    I've mentioned Arey'a a couple of times already this Spring, and for good reason. She has looked like one of her team's most impactful players each time, and that's playing in the 17U division. She is a really nice, well-balanced athlete, she has some speed, quickness, bounce, plus length, and she plays with a nice motor. She can defend multiple positions, but her skillset has also stood out. She can make shots at each level, plus she can put it on the floor and get to the basket. With just a little more polish, I think she's a full-scholarship kid at some level.     Kadence got some opportunity this past Winter for a good and somewhat deep Brownsburg program, and she seems to find ways to contribute, one way or another. She has an athletically strong frame, she doesn't mind physicality for a wing, and she's willing to get inside to rebound and/or defend at times. On the perimeter, she is a solid athlete, she can handle it a little, especially on attack, and she is improving as a perimeter shooter. She is one of those prospects who plays with versatility, toughness, and does what she can to help her team.     Agnes has definitely had her moments this Spring, and she's someone who I don't think has completely scratched the surface as to where she can get. She is a long, fluidly athletic wing prospect, she has shown the ability to knock down open shots from outside, plus she seemingly glides to the rim. As she continues to get stronger, I look for her to be an even more aggressive driver and nearly double her scoring output each game. Defensively, she changes directions reasonably well, and she uses her length nicely to bother passing lanes and as a trapping defender.     Kylie is another nice, long, wiry wing prospect. For the Lady Knights, they typically aren't very tall as a unit, so she does spend some time defending the interior, but she has the fluidity and athleticism to play around the perimeter at the next level. She can put it on the floor and even push it in transition, plus she is improving as a perimeter shooter. She's another one who is already productive, but I feel like she's still a year or two away from even approaching her ceiling, which is encouraging. She also does a nice job of being an active and effortful defender.     Kyah was new to me this Spring, and I thought she was a highly intriguing athlete on the wing who definitely showed a lot of potential. She can get out and run in transition, she is a nice all-around athlete, plus she has a great deal of length and some wiry strength to her. She is very active and always around the ball, and she is an effective downhill attacker right now. She pursues rebounds, she's an effortful defender, and she is good in trapping situations. As she continues to tighten her skillset and shoot it more consistently outside, she could be a problem.     Inch-for-inch, Za'Nariae is one of the most productive wings in this 2028 class. While she isn't 6-feet tall, she is strong and athletic at her size, plus she almost always comes up with ways to impact a game. She can get downhill, absorb contact, and finish inside, she has a solid mid-range jumper, and she is starting to be more consistent from the perimeter as well. She has a solid handle and can create a little off the bounce, plus she plays with good effort and can defend multiple positions. I think she could be a very productive small college prospect.
