<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While working on updating the rankings for next month I have come across several recruiting announcements.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is an update on the recruiting status of five ranked Kansas athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will continue to work through my list of offered athletes and update Prep Girls Hoops subscribers this month and next before the prep season begins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five prospects were chosen because they are ranked and have claimed their player profiles on PGH. I will organize future reports on the level of college, player stats available, and whether the athletes have claimed or unclaimed profiles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349457"],"_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-670ea61634b92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deters recently announced a commitment to Benedictine to play basketball for the Ravens. I have not seen the multi-sport prospect play basketball in person, but have seen her play volleyball. She is quick and has a nice vertical. She is hoping to lead the Panthers to postseason success in volleyball. Centralia has a record of 27-4 and will be the No. 1 seed in the Class 1A DI Regional One, and will host a quadrant tournament on October 21.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349796"],"_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-670ea7a1cf3ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is currently the No. 1 ranked player overall in the Kansas Class of 2025 rankings. I was able to confirm that she remains uncommitted as of October 14. She has multiple Division I offers including Arizona, Baylor, Florida, and Syracuse. I saw Davis play in a team camp at Pittsburg State. She can dominate the paint and clean the boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["398379"],"_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-670ea830dd634"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramsey split time last season playing for Highland Park and Hayden. She is a legit scorer in the paint who runs the floor well. She recently announced an offer from Coffeyville Community College. I have a silly suspicion it won't be her only offer before 2024 concludes and we roll the calendar over to 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["398382"],"_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-670ea8e2c873a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilbert is a ranked prospect with multiple offers. I saw Heights play last season in a tournament at Seaman. She has a big reach and plays solid defense. She heads into her senior season with junior college offers from Fort Scott Community College and Highland Community College.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["675830"],"_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-670eabc0b0a23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith is another player I have not seen in person. She is a multi-sport prospect who plays volleyball and softball. She has two offers on the table to play for Cloud and Hutchinson community colleges. She is a tall player who can step out and score from 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
