<p>This class has talent from top to bottom, and when it comes to athleticism, it might be the strongest class yet. We've extended our <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2028-watch-list/">rankings</a> to 25, but here's a look at some of the players in the watch list columns that deserve a longer look. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lang is a top 30 player in this class, and she's already proven how talented she is in both high school and AAU settings. She's got the length, the quick twitch, and a level of creativity as a playmaker that's hard to miss. Excited to see how her game continues to grow over the next couple of years.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gamble has been getting by on pure athleticism, and now the skill is starting to show. She's one of those athletes with a strong enough motor to make an impact in every area beyond just scoring. She's active in the passing lanes, crashes the boards, and has the potential to defend positions 2-4.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Toussaint has definitely grown an inch or two since last year, and she's starting to figure out how to use her length and frame to her advantage. Most of her production comes from the nail down, and she doesn't need much to get going. She's also the type of player who can turn into a defensive nightmare. The potential is clear.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Williams has that "IT" factor about her. She moves with a different pace, carries real confidence, and can score from multiple levels and angles. There's a scrappiness and edge to her game that stands out right away. Traits like that will keep her on the floor no matter where she's playing.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Not a lot of players at this age have the drive and attitude that Sophia brings to the court. She's tough minded, confident, and knows how to get to her spots without doing too much. She can also stretch the floor and knock down the long ball. Both her high school and AAU programs are in great hands with this one.</p>
