Class of 2022: Ranked Players 11-20

<strong>Class of 2022: Ranked Players 11-20</strong> By Michael Wholey 10/20/21 11:00 AM EST <em>With 8 of the top 10 prospects in the class of 2022 having made their decision and 12 of the top 20, we dive deeper into ranked players 11-20 and their decisions of where to play collegiately.</em> <em> </em> <strong><img class=" wp-image-309527 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Fatima-scaled-e1626895075473-179x300.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="209" />[player_tooltip player_id="219954" first="Fatima" last="Diakhate"]</strong> (Montverde Academy / Essence) was one of the most recent members of the class of 2022 to make her college decision.  Ranked # 16 in the Prep Girls Hoop Florida rankings, the 6’5 center is one of the most intriguing college prospects due to her size and potential ability to impact a game in the paint.  Having watched her progress over the past few seasons, her growth is impressive.  Her coordination and ability to get up and down the court has improved dramatically and she has shown the ability to score in the paint with her back to the basket.  Diakhate choose to verbally commit to in state University of Central Florida.  At UCF, look for Head Coach Abe Henderson to continue Diakhate strength and conditioning training as well as have her spend significant time with post coach Isoken Uzamere.  It will likely be 1-2 years before Diakhate is an active contributor to the UCF Knights but should these areas continue to progress, ultimately Diakhate could be a huge impact and help UCF make the leap from the 1^st and 2^nd round of the NCAA tournament to potentially making it to the sweet and beyond. <em> </em> <strong><img class=" wp-image-296686 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/enju-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="140" height="187" />[player_tooltip player_id="154908" first="Enjulina" last="Gonzalez"]</strong> (Miami Christian / Team Knight) verbally committed to Mercer University this month.  The # 18 ranked player in the Prep Girls Hoop Florida rankings has been one of the state’s most under recruited players.  She helped lead Miami Christian to an FHSAA 2A State Championship this past season averaging 12.9 points per game and really hitting the exposure circuit for the first time this past summer with Team Knight on the Adidas 3 Stripes league.  She is an athletic, super skilled, 5’9 guard / wing, who can drop buckets. <em> </em> <img class="size-medium wp-image-279745" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/IMG_1370-e1623181388424-261x300.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="300" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91575" first="Maddie" last="Millar"]</strong> (Bishop Kenny / Alabama Southern Starzz) is ranked # 19 in the Prep Girls Hoop Florida rankings and chose local in state University of North Florida this summer over a number of mid major and BCS college suitors.  She ultimately chose UNF because Head Coach Darrick Gibbs had recruited Millar since middle school.  Stressing the importance having her support system close by and what a big deal it is to play in front of a home crowd, Millar will get a chance to team up with her Bishop Kenny Head Coach Charlsea Clark, who recently accepted an assistant coaching position with UCF.  Millar still has her Senior season and will try and bring a 4A state championship to Bishop Kenny after leading the Knights to a 21-10 record averaging 11.9 points per game before falling to eventual state champion Lake Highland Prep. &nbsp; <img class=" wp-image-208806 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/Stefanie-Ingram-No-Name-2-1-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="263" height="173" />Speaking of state champion Lake Highland Prep, [player_tooltip player_id="91585" first="Stefanie" last="Ingram"] (Lake Highland Prep / Hoop Dreams Elite) helped lead LHP to a state championship and a # 1 national ranking.  Ingram, a 5’8 combo guard was the heart and sole of the squad, handling the ball, guarding the teams opposing point guard and consistently setting the energy level for her teammates.  Look for her to bring that skillset, passion, energy, and leadership to UCF where she verbally committed to earlier this year.  Ranked # 12 in the Prep Girls Hoops Florida rankings, UCF has 3 of the state’s top 20 prospects heading to Orlando next season in the class of 2022 where Ingram will be joined by # 16 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="219954" first="Fatima" last="Diakhate"] </strong>and # 6<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="91579" first="Savannah" last="Henderson"]</strong>, making for an impressive recruiting haul for the UCF Knights. &nbsp; <img class="size-medium wp-image-279422 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/IMG_5097-186x300.jpeg" alt="" width="186" height="300" />So who will be next? Will it be 6’2 Forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91560" first="Paris" last="Gaines"]</strong> (Jones HS) who is ranked # 11? Or will it be a member of the powerful Blanche Ely squad # 13 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91561" first="Michiyah" last="Simmons"]</strong>, # 14 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91563" first="Mya" last="Kone"]</strong>, or # 20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91568" first="Zaria" last="Blake"].  </strong>Central Pointe Academy was one of last season’s surprise teams.  Their point guard # 15 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="219993" first="Silkiari" last="Vazquez"]</strong> still remains undecided as well as # 17<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="91566" first="Joey" last="Delancy"] </strong>who helped bring American Heritage Plantation home a state championship last season and had a solid summer on the EYBL circuit for the Miami Suns.  The class of 2022 in Florida is very talented and we will continue to follow where these talented players land. &nbsp; <strong>Prep Girls Hoop Florida Rankings 11-20</strong> # 11 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91560" first="Paris" last="Gaines"]</strong> – Undecided # 12 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91585" first="Stefanie" last="Ingram"]</strong> – UCF # 13 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91561" first="Michiyah" last="Simmons"]</strong> – Undecided # 14 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91563" first="Mya" last="Kone"]</strong> – Undecided # 15 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="219993" first="Silkiari" last="Vazquez"]</strong> – Undecided # 16 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="219954" first="Fatima" last="Diakhate"]</strong> - UCF # 17<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="91566" first="Joey" last="Delancy"] </strong>– Undecided # 18 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="154908" first="Enjulina" last="Gonzalez"]</strong> – Mercer # 19 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91575" first="Maddie" last="Millar"]</strong> – UNF # 20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91568" first="Zaria" last="Blake"]</strong> – Undecided &nbsp; If you have an update on a player in the 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 class, you can contact me be sending an email to <a href="mailto:WholeyPrepHoops@gmail.com">WholeyPrepHoops@gmail.com</a> or DM’ing me through Twitter or Instagram @WholeyPrepHoops. &nbsp;
