My Class of 2029 Prospects to Watch This High School Season

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>We've officially updated the <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2029-watch-list/">Class of 2029 rankings.</a> As college recruiting gets more serious for this class, our rankings will reflect that more heavily. Height, size, frame, and athleticism will be weighed just as much as individual skill, with offers still carrying the most weight when it comes to a prospect's overall projection. Below are some prospects who</strong> I'm excited to watch this upcoming high school season.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1813034"],"_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-6a971d0a6c866"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Moon's offensive game is something you need to see in person to fully grasp just how creative and crafty she can be. She has a decently long frame and the versatility to play multiple positions and roles at guard. Solid playmaker with a matching IQ. Her stock in this class should continue to rise, and as she starts duplicating those high-level moments against tougher competition, she could easily work her way into the Top 25 over time.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305088"],"_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-6a971d0a6c8bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>An injury cut what would have been a strong freshman season short for Lilly, but we caught a glimpse of what the talent is… and she is one of the top guards in this class. Coming off an injury won't be an easy task, but Burninson seems like a player who can adjust, and if she takes her time getting back to impacting the game, she should be in for another strong year. She can score at all three levels, and her defense is solid enough that players won't be scoring easily against her. Excited to see her back on the court. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1678222"],"_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-6a971d0a6c8e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>One of the purer shooters in this class. Lefevour plays a role that translates easily at the next level and that most coaches want to make sure that a player can do in the early stages of their career. She is a knockdown shooter from every spot on the floor, vertically from the top all the way to the corner. As she continues to develop her ability to create her own shot off the dribble as a secondary skill, her potential will continue to grow. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221799"],"_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-6a971d0a6c906"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Franklin will be a key piece in her high school program, staying competitive all season, and her ability to play both sides of the ball with no letup should drive wins. She can hurt you from every spot on the court, and she's not a player who will settle for those opportunities. On the defensive end of the floor, there's another level of aggression, and she has the solid feet and quick hands to cause problems for players who like to dribble. A definite player to keep an eye on as time goes by, and she could turn into a strong level prospect.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257515"],"_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-6a971d0a6c924"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>We didn't get to see much of Layla during last year's high school season, but that should change with her new program. Noble already has a lot of the tools you look for in a D1 guard, from the athleticism and handle to the shooting touch and overall mannerisms on the floor. She checks off a lot of boxes, but the next step will be showing that consistently while playing with constant aggression. If those two things start to show up more often, she'll continue to separate herself, and this season should give us a much better look at that.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
