The greater Seattle region has multiple Division 1 signed prospects that play the wing (3) and/or power forward (4) position. Below is a ranking of players at those positions based on their potential for the next level and production at the high school level over the course of the last three years. Each of the five players mentioned would project to be All-Area players, First Team All-League and/or League MVP. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Top 2021 Wing-Forwards in Seattle</strong></span></h3> 1) 5’11 PF [player_tooltip player_id="82922" first="Mia" last="Hughes"] (Woodinville HS) - In the class of 2021, very few players have been as solid and consistent as this Montana State signee. Hughes just plays harder than everyone on the floor and she has great hands for rebounds, catching passes and finishing strong. A 20 point and 7+ rebounds type of player for three years now. When it comes to production and instant impact on the game, Hughes gets the nod and it very well could translate to the Big Sky for Montana State. 2) 5’11 SF [player_tooltip player_id="20229" first="Tamia" last="Stricklin"] (Seattle Prep) - This smooth lefty is versatile on the court with her handle, shooting and passing ability. Stricklin could play the 2-4 at the next level for Fresno State where she is signed. Stricklin would project to contend for the Metro League MVP in her senior season for Seattle Prep. *Feature image 3) 5’10 SF [player_tooltip player_id="20255" first="Taliyah" last="Clark"] (Bishop Blanchet HS) - As I have previously stated, Clark puts up very good numbers for Bishop Blanchet and she can really shoot it. When you mix that in with her physical strength, she is a tough matchup. She remains unsigned to date. 4) 6’1 SF [player_tooltip player_id="82936" first="Molly" last="Moffitt"] (Seattle Prep) - A strong-body wing that is capable of playing the three or four. Moffitt is a consistent threat to put up double-double type of numbers and she can explode for 20 plus point games as well. She has good size and likes to grab rebounds and push it on the break for herself. An unsigned prospect in the 2021 class. 5) 6’0 SF [player_tooltip player_id="48027" first="Jaliyah" last="Sampson"] (Rainier Beach HS) - A long and strong wing player that is a good catch and shoot three point shooter. Sampson can get hot from behind the three line and has exploded for some great individual performances for Rainier Beach. She’s gained some interest from National Juco level schools.
