Stock Risers Among Forwards and Posts in the New 2028 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri released its newly updated Class of 2028 rankings last week. Here is a look at a group of forwards and posts who were stock risers in the updated rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1035095' first='Kennedy' last='Newman'] (MICDS): A 6'0" small forward who had a big summer season and picked up several Division I scholarship offers in the process. She is a knock down shooter from 3-point range but she has done a great job of diversifying her offensive game. She attacks close outs well to score off the dribble and pull up jumpers. She also hits the step-back from 3-point range. She also uses her height to score inside when she has mismatches in the paint. She is also an active rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='899819' first='Jenna' last='Cox'] (St. Joe Benton): A 5'11" small forward who enjoyed a very good summer playing with the [program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom'] 16U EYC team. She has the length and athleticism to impact the game at both ends of the court. She can rebound and be disruptive on defense on the perimeter with her height. She has the ability to score on the drive and she can also shoot it from 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1818208' first='Madi' last='Clay'] (Farmington): A 6'0" forward who is a talented player on the Knights' excellent front court. She is a very skilled player who can put in work in the low post and operate on the perimeter. She gets good position in the low post to score around the basket with either hand. Her footwork is also excellent inside. She is also comfortable putting the ball on the floor to attack and shooting it from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112273' first='Mollie' last='Bailey'] (Seckman): A 6'3" forward from South St. Louis who is a problem in the low post with his height and physical strength. She can play with physicality inside or with finesse with her shooting touch around the basket. She seals well for good position and will catch it and finish with a nice shooting touch. She is a very capable passer out of the post when she sees a double team, which happens often during the high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1303529' first='Lillian' last='Brown'] (MICDS): A 6'0" forward who is a solid player who has made big improvements over the summer when we watched her. She was playing with a lot of activity inside as she established her position and finished well around the basket. She also ran the court well. She was more assertive and played with a lot of confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
