Class of 2029: Next Five

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 class rankings went live this morning and will be the final edition before it grows to 100 players during the high school season. Today, we will look at the top ten players in the updated rankings, as usual, and then look at more players tomorrow. On Sunday, I will post my official predictions as we head into the regular season early next week. On Monday, we will post the first edition of the 2030 class rankings, but it will be a watchlist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1264437"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af7a0943c1e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Fox Valley Lutheran guard is skilled and can manipulate defenses with the ball in her hands. Peterson is a three-level scorer who can attack off the dribble and create for herself and her teammates. She has excellent footwork and can create space from her defender almost anytime she wants. I also like her length for a guard because she can contest shots and get in passing lanes more than you'd think.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241703"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af7a0943c250"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marciulionis is a skilled post who uses her size to score around the basket and hold her own on the block. However, she is also an excellent stretch forward who can excel as a screener and knock down shots when she pops to the three-point line. She has room for her to grow, but she has the physical tools and skill set to help a program at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1753992"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af7a0943c2bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The La Crosse native is an excellent athlete who has the talent to be an effective two-way player. Apuan has shown flashes of creating off the dribble and scoring from mid-range or getting all the way to the rim. Her athleticism and length also make her an intriguing defensive prospect. She has room to develop, but she has the skill set to control games at the high school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["889783"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af7a0943c31f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Sussex native is a talented multi-sport athlete who could pursue volleyball at the next level. That said, Baldwin is a talented basketball player with the versatility to play multiple roles on both ends. She has the size to control the area around the basket. However, her team's offense can also run through her, making the right choices with the ball in her hands. If she wants to play basketball, she could play in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1361656"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af7a0943c376"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Pewaukee native is a skilled frontcourt player who can space the floor and knock down perimeter jumpers. Petzold is also comfortable putting the ball on the floor and pressuring defenses in the paint. She also has the length to be an impressive interior defender and be a deterrent for guards who want to attack the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
