<p>Our series of September showcases is now behind us and the 2026-27 high school season is just over the horizon. That means it's time for a rankings update! Published for the first time last October, the Prep Girls Hoops Minnesota Class of 2029 rankings has grown from its original 50 to a new total of 110 college prospects from across the state. This time around there are more than a dozen stock risers of note and 15 newcomers joining the fray. Throughout this week we'll be breaking down the new rankings, starting with the stock risers. </p>

<p>Today we're taking a look at who has been on the rise within the top 25 since our last update back in June. Here are the up-and-comers you need to know:</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+1 –</strong> Shining with the [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] this summer and at the PGH Sophomore ID Camp last month, Willis (pictured above) has been continuously raising her game to new heights year after year. A quick and crafty floor general with an outstanding basketball IQ, Kiera has recently garnered the attention of several Division 1 programs, earning offers from Fairfield, Utah State, and St. Thomas over the past few months. Now in her sophomore season at Benilde-St. Margaret's, the 5'8 combo guard will play a crucial role for the Red Knights this season as they look to earn their fifth consecutive class 3A state title. Willis rises one position, entering the top 5 for the first time.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+2 –</strong> A standout performer in New London-Spicer's State tournament run last season, Tanner has raised her profile significantly since the start of this year. Standing at 6-foot-3, the Wildcats sophomore possesses a unique combination of height, length, power and athleticism that few opponents can match, making her one of the top post prospects in the state. Korbin's recruiting saw a major uptick this summer. She now holds offers from a variety of D1 schools, including, most recently, Creighton and St. Thomas. Practically a walking double-double, Tanner will be the head of the snake for New London-Spicer this season. She moves up two places in the rankings to #8.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+9 –</strong> Hilgert's rise over the course of this year has been nothing short of meteoric. Beginning with her breakout freshman season at Chanhassen, Lucy immediately went on to be a top performer on the [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury']'s 2029 UAA team, and earned her first Division 1 offer from North Dakota State in July. Since then, the 5'10 guard has picked up five more D1 offers, and was named the PGH 2029 Breakout Player of the Year during our end-of-season AAU awards. At this point, the accolades speak for themselves, but to reflect Hilgert's long-term potential, the Storm sophomore now makes a hefty 9-spot jump, making her a top 10 prospect in the class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+5 –</strong> A member of the varsity rotation at Minnehaha Academy for several seasons now, Harris has been steadily improving year over year. This summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'], she took a leap in more ways than one. Now standing at 6'3, Addison has gotten taller and significantly stronger than in years past. On top of that, she excelled as a dominant force in the paint with the 16U 3SSB squad, despite going up against older competition. Smoother in her finishing and more assertive with the ball in her hands, the Redhawks sophomore will be an integral part of the rotation this winter. She moves up five places to #12.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+3 –</strong> Along with Tanner, Layton was a standout performer on [program_tooltip program_id='713021' first='West' last='Central United']'s top 2029 squad this summer. Dynamic and explosive in every area of her game, the 5'9 guard has leveled up her skill in terms of finishing, creating space off the dribble, and defensive impact. We weren't the only ones to take notice of her growth though. Back in May, Greta received her first D1 offer from North Dakota, followed by offers from St. Thomas and Green Bay in recent weeks. After averaging over 16 points per game for Big Lake as a freshman, Layton will be of utmost importance for the Hornets this season. She rises three places to #17.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+3 –</strong> Standing at 6'1 with a lengthy build and athletic frame, Holman has all the physical tools needed to succeed in today's college game. Quick and agile, Demi is a skilled ball handler, effective rebounder, and a sharpshooter from beyond the arc who can just as easily score at the rim. Following a strong summer with Wisconsin-based Team Prime Nation, the Park Center guard is looking to make a splash in her sophomore season. Following the graduation of leading scorer, Lyric Singleton, Holman will have plenty of opportunity with the Pirates. She moves up three positions in the class of 2029 rankings to #19.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>+3 –</strong> A precocious, lanky 8th grader the first time we saw her play, Kalscheur was predicted to be a quality college prospect from day one. A couple years later, we're seeing that play out in real time. Now taller, faster, stronger, and more confident than ever before, the recent growth in Rose's game is impossible to ignore. The Benilde-St. Margaret's sophomore had a strong summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'], and based on what we've seen in recent weeks, looks to be gearing up for a possible breakout season with the Red Knights. Kalscheur moves up 3 spots, officially making her entrance into the top 25 prospects in the sophomore class.</p>
