#5
Maddie Edwards Maddie Edwards C Climax-Scotts | 2021 State MI (C, Climax-Scotts)
Edwards is a fast rising prospect. She plays defense vertically and is active on the glass. Edwards is a strong post passer with the ability to kick the ball back out to open shooters.
#4
Laila Vincent Laila Vincent PF Kalamazoo Central | 2021 State MI (PF, Kalamazoo Central)
I’ve written about Vincent before, and I have a feeling it will continue. I loved the way she stepped up for K-Central last season. Vincent is an explosive scorer and a bouncy rebounder.
#3
Anna Schuppel Anna Schuppel 6'0" | PF Schoolcraft | 2021 State MI (PF, Schoolcraft)
I feel like Schuppel deserves more credit for her game. She’s steady in the paint and takes pride in winning the post every night. Schuppel is a vocal defender and a consistent scoring threat through put backs.
#2
Krystina Kasson Krystina Kasson 6'1" | C Kalamazoo Hacket | 2021 State MI (C, Kalamazoo Hackett)
Kasson had a stand out season and should jump into our updated prospect rankings pretty easily. She hit double figures in both points and rebounds regularly. Kasson constantly altered shots, blocking just under 3 a game. She was an energy player in the paint as well, logging a ton of minutes for her team.
#1
Kai Heivilin (PF, Three Rivers)
Heivilin in an Alabama softball commit, but let’s be honest, she probably has the potential to be a Division 1 basketball prospect. At 5’9″, it’s strange to put her as a post player. But no matter what position you want to label her as, she makes a huge difference in the paint. Heivilin’s strength and athleticism make her a constant double-double threat. She is a solid 2-way player that actively looks for blocks and opportunities to create a turnover.
