The rankings team <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/colorado/rankings/2023-rankings/">did an update in the class of 2023</a> so I wanted to highlight some players whose junior year performances have them on the rise:
[player_tooltip player_id="95221" first="Juliana" last="Garcia"] - The Vanguard School - #23 up to #17
College programs that want to play with pace should look to 5'7" scorer, [player_tooltip player_id="95221" first="Juliana" last="Garcia"]. She scored 17.0 PPG with 6.3 RPG and 2.5 SPG this year, highlighted by a 27 point performance win a 59-50 Sweet 16 win over Centauri.
[player_tooltip player_id="329381" first="Mya" last="Cotto"] - George Washington - #114 up to #19
Perhaps no one did more for their team and for their own recruiting profile than [player_tooltip player_id="329381" first="Mya" last="Cotto"]. The fast guard with confident handles used her defense to create opportunities for herself and her teammates. She snagged 3.1 steals per game on the way to averaging 16.6 PPG and hitting 31% of her threes.
[player_tooltip player_id="318873" first="Amelia" last="Rosin"] - Monarch - #52 up to #28
Monarch finished their dream season without their 6'1" anchor inside. Rosin had a huge season before her ankle injury on January 25th with 12.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. She dropped 16 and 25 in back to back wins over ThunderRidge and Centaurus, went for 17 in beating Ralston Valley, and also had a big game with 15 in their win over Fossil Ridge.
[player_tooltip player_id="318863" first="Jacy" last="Rohr"] - Liberty - #96 up to #29
Point guard [player_tooltip player_id="318863" first="Jacy" last="Rohr"] was another big time riser this year exploding for 17.9 PPG and 2.9 per game in both steals and assists. I was at their overtime loss at Lakewood where Rohr did absolutely everything she could to keep the Lancers' season alive, hitting 6 or 8 threes on the way to a career high 29 points.
[player_tooltip player_id="134319" first="Nevaeh" last="Golden"] - Denver East - #48 up to #35
This shifty Angel did it all this year, peppering box scores with 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 steals, and an impressive 3.5 assists per game. What a huge junior season! Golden does most of her damage at the rim. At 5'6" it could be easy to overlook her but 1.3 points per shot for someone who doesn't hit a ton of threes demonstrates a high level ability to finish at the rim.
