We knew the 2025 class was loaded with guards and some good ones at that. In this article, we look at some of these players who have had a significant increase in their stock.   [player_tooltip player_id='442278' first='Noelle' last='Mengel'] is a player whose stock continues to rise. She is prospect who can score the basketball any kind of way. Mengel played lights out in the State championship and since then she has played very well in the Spring travel period. She was recently named the FABC 6A player of the year. Mengel can shoot the three, she can maneuver in the paint and score, and she is crafty enough to get her shot off in a variety of ways. Her stock has risen and she is one of the toughest Ballers in the 2025 class.   [player_tooltip player_id='214182' first='Chardae' last='Rumph'] has seen her stock rise over the last year. She was a stand out in the April and May evaluation periods and really balled out at the FABC showcase. She went toe to toe with some of the state's finest players and showed she was a shooting guard to be reckoned with. At the FABC Rumph connected on threes and scored in the transition game. She was also solid on the defensive end.   [player_tooltip player_id='248677' first='Anilys' last='Rolon'] was impressive in the state playoffs. If there's one thing this shooting guard can do- she can shoot the ball. Rolon connected on threes during the biggest high school games of the year, and she has been equally impressive in the Spring travel season. The College coaches and offers can attest to that. Rolon can also get to the rim and score, but the bread and butter shot is that three point shot and if it's shot from the corner - it's “money.”   [player_tooltip player_id='346822' first='Lamiyah' last='Hogans'] has been on an upward trend at the guard position. Her length and athleticism make her a tough opponent for anyone . Hogans has shown that she can score the ball at all three levels. She can shoot the three point shot with great accuracy, and she is also dangerous in the half courts set and in transition. Defensively, she can cover three to four positions and really put pressure on the opponent.   [player_tooltip player_id='430455' first='Kimora' last='Hester'] has been a beast the past few moths. I saw Hester last year during the Duval county gateway tournament. The athletic guard has literally jumped leaps and bounds since then. Hester is athletic and can jump out the gym. Her shots in the midrange are lethal. She can get into the paint, pull-up for the midrange and score over anyone. Her athleticism and physicality are at another level.   [player_tooltip player_id='248699' first='Brianna' last='Behn'] has really increased her stock significantly. Her cool demeanor under pressure and her ability to run the point guard position has been a thing of beauty. She plays the position like a quarterback, getting the ball to all of the weapons at her disposable - her inside players as well as her outside players. Behn is like surgeon on the floor and college coaches were talking about her at the FABC.   [player_tooltip player_id='248428' first='Kalese' last='Salter'] is the epitome of hard work and looking at her skill level from when she went viral until now is night and day. Salter is fast, quick, and athletic and has done a good job of using those skills to her advantage. Her basketball skills have improved since last year: she shoots it better, she is more explosive, more decisive, and more confident. Her movement up the rankings is as a result of hard work.   [player_tooltip player_id='430276' first='Khalia' last='Woodley'] is another player whose stock is rising. The young guard can shoot it, she can get to the basket, and she is a play maker on the floor. Woodley was impressive during the Spring evaluation period and also at the FABC showcase. She was equally impressive and showed a lot of versatility playing in two different systems.   [player_tooltip player_id='400803' first='Trinidy' last='Harris'] has always been impressive from the first time I saw her play in North Carolina and Louisville some years back. The athleticism and the confidence have always been at the forefront, and her basketball skills are right there too. Harris can shoot the rock and she can definitely get down hill.
