2028 Rankings: New Entries

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The following players represent the most notable new additions to our latest Top 150 rankings update for the junior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1891309' first='Selena' last='Kareem']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #21</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Selena will be a new addition to powerhouse Paul VI, transferring over from PA's George School. The long, athletic combo guard spent her summer competing on the New Balance circuit with [program_tooltip program_id='714664' first='Team' last='Sharp'] and seamlessly fitting into their system of fast-paced, physical basketball. Look for her when the 2026-2027 high school season begins!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1885871' first='Galima' last='Etienne']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Galima is a stalwart defender and rim protector. She leads with her defense but has greatly stepped up her offensive bag, running the floor hard in transition and getting herself to the basket. Her length has proved dangerous on both sides of the ball. A very underrated forward in the state of NJ!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1894398' first='Abria' last='Hason']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #36</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abria's breakout summer with Scholars Elite earned her an official D1 offer from Army West Point during July's first live period. She was spectacular these past few months, with strong play in May at the 5th Annual NYG Memorial Day Bump and keeping that going through August, when I last saw her at Hoops4MS. Her stock is climbing!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1816217' first='Aubrei' last='Smith']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #51</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aubrei, like Selena, has made the move to Paul VI over from PA (Penn Charter) and is bringing all of her grit and tenacity with her! She kicked off the spring by earning MVP honors at the Philly All-City Classic and kept that momentum going with DAPA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1816544' first='Ava' last='Ramseur']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #57</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava's making her debut with Lawrenceville this winter after transferring from The George School in PA. Her summer with [program_tooltip program_id='714664' first='Team' last='Sharp'] was impressive, showing off a highly committed and scrappy two-way game. Her energy is a total game-changer!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1897912' first='Brielyn' last='Cooper']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #84</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brie's consistency this summer has landed her inside our Top 100. She certainly made her presence felt for NJ Rise in the back court, leading with quickness and imposing her will on both ends. She kept steady offense flowing off dribble drive and lane slicing, and caused headaches for the opponent defensively; scrappy mentality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1897896' first='Julia' last='Stephan'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #87</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Julia's presence on the interior for the Hawks made all the difference! This summer saw her defense step up big time as she began to establish herself as a formidable rim protector in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1635332' first='Safaa' last='Fakhry']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Debut Rank: #103</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Safaa makes the move from Bridgewater-Raritan to Stuart Country Day and will look to keep her momentum going from a great summer with Team Miller. She elevated her overall skillset and put her best foot forward in July, picking up an offer from Central Penn College after a strong showing at Spooky Nook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
