Many of the top freshmen have been in the limelight early with middle school showcases over the years and some playing above grade level on their club teams. It’s time to preview who are the projected top players in the 2024 class.
Kendall Dudley Kendall Dudley 6'1" | SF Sidwell Friends | 2024 State MD – 6’0″ – Wing – Sidwell Friends
Kendall has been on the radar of college coaches and scouts for a couple of years now and at 6’0″ and the perimeter skills of a point guard it’s easy to see why. She has a nice shot with good form and can get out in transition on the break with or without the ball. She can play multiple positions and has a college frame already. She will likely start the rankings as the top player in the class.
Madisen McDaniel Madisen McDaniel 5'9" | PG Bishop McNamara | 2024 State MD – 5’8″ – Point Guard – Bishop McNamara
Maddy is a favorite of PGH after dazzling us with her skill in the third and fourth grade. She hit a growth spurt and looks like a seasoned varsity point guard. Her shot is picture perfect and she has the vision and IQ to lead a team at any level. She will compete and be in the mix with a guard heavy Mustangs team but should do more than hold her own in the WCAC.
Kyndal Walker Kyndal Walker 5'9" | PG St. John's College | 2024 State MD – 5’9″ – Point Guard – St. John’s
She’s been under the radar for the most part but everyone in the know is aware of who she is after her MVP performance in the Turf Wars a couple of years ago. She has one of the quickest first steps in the class and is pretty hard to stay in front of. Giving her space doesn’t help as she has the range and accuracy to kill you from outside. Defenses may choose to help and force the pass instead of picking up fouls trying to stop her from getting to the basket.
Kiyomi McMiller Kiyomi McMiller 5'8" | PG Life Center Academy | 2024 State NJ – 5’8″ – Point Guard – Pallotti
Kiyomi has the most experience playing at a high level as she had been playing 17U club ball since elementary school. She had participated in every camp and showcase possible before middle school. She is a highly skilled gymrat that is well travelled around the basketball community. Years ago she was by far the best prospect in her class, it will be interesting to see how much of the gap her peers have covered now that she is in high school.
Carolae Barton Carolae Barton 6'2" | PF St. John's College | 2024 State MD – 6’1″ – Forward – St. Johns
Carolae is dominant inside because of her size and strength. She has good hands and a soft midrange touch that allows her to stretch the floor a bit. She is surprisingly agile for her size and has an exceptional handle that allows her to start the transition off the rebound and go coast if needed. She is very active inside and could be the areas next premier post.
