Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4240089, member: 6809"] Thought I’d post this, even though there are only five girls left uncommitted on the first three teams to give people an idea of who is out there still. FLJ has all the lists of best players - let’s get some. The third team is fully committed so I did not post. I may post a list of the best ranked players in NYS but may not have the time to monitor. If there is someone out there willing to do this as tomcat has been posting the best football players in NYS, and I have expanded on the top twenty of his list please let me know. It's great to see someone you have listed commit to SU. The MaxPreps All-America Team has recognized the top high school girls basketball players in the country each year since 2006. Past MaxPreps All-Americans include Tina Charles, Elena Delle Donne, Maya Moore, Nneka Ogwumike, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson, who all went on to win the WNBA's Most Valuable Player award. Selections are based on team success, individual production and local, regional and state honors from the recently-completed season. Potential at the college and professional level is not a primary consideration. [B]First Team [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/lauren-betts/fMB7vZnvEeiAyNdjx8XCRA/default.htm']Lauren Betts[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/co/aurora/grandview-wolves/basketball/girls/']Grandview (Aurora, Colo.)[/URL] 6-7 | Senior | Center | Stanford[/B] Dominated the paint for the Wolves, blocking 3.6 blocks a game on one end and converting 72 percent of her shots on the other. She totaled 17.2 points and 11.0 rebounds a game, also made 72 percent of her free throws. [B] *[URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/milaysia-fulwiley/ojKtGhKHEeiT-Oz0u-e-FA/default.htm']Milaysia Fulwiley[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/sc/columbia/keenan-raiders/basketball/girls/']Keenan (Columbia, S.C.)[/URL] 5-6 | Junior | Guard | Uncommitted[/B] The Raiders won the AAA title with Fulwiley contributing 29.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 4.6 steals a game. [B][URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/kiki-rice/yBVmK8bAEeiAxKkkK9HIDg/default.htm']Kiki Rice[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/dc/washington/sidwell-friends-quakers/basketball/girls/']Sidwell Friends (Washington, D.C.)[/URL] 5-11 | Senior | Guard | UCLA[/B] The numbers were good – 15.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game – but don't come close to measuring how crucial she was to the unbeaten MaxPreps National Champions. She not only had a 3.6 assist/turnover ratio but was also a top-shelf defender. [B] MAXPREPS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR *[URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/juju-watkins/7aw1ieWmGEqi63h1m7bTpg/default.htm']Juju Watkins[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/chatsworth/sierra-canyon-trailblazers/basketball/girls/']Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.)[/URL] 6-0 | Junior | Wing | Uncommitted[/B] Watkins' dazzling statistics – 25.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.9 blocks a game – don't fully illustrate her impact on the floor. The MaxPreps National Player of the Year is a generational talent and the prize of the 2023 recruiting class. [B]*[URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/mikaylah-williams/LOmtHIKGEemA0ZFtwg1OMQ/default.htm']Mikaylah Williams[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/la/bossier-city/parkway-panthers/basketball/girls/']Parkway (Bossier City, La.)[/URL] 6-0 | Junior | Wing | Uncommitted[/B] Williams is a superb shooter – 39.4 percent from three and 81.1 percent from the line – but also rebounds (8.4 per game) and passes (5.1 assists). Don't forget the 22.8 points a game for the 34-3 Panthers. [B]Second Team *[URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/breya-cunningham/v9JkAuOoEemAzfp8ouYFiw/default.htm']Breya Cunningham[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/la-jolla/la-jolla-country-day-torreys/basketball/girls/']La Jolla Country Day (La Jolla, Calif.)[/URL] 6-4 | Junior | Center | Uncommitted[/B] Comfortably averaged a double-double (18.4 and 11.4) for the Torreys, who finished as the No. 9 team in the final MaxPreps Top 25. She was efficient as well, shooting 65 percent from the field. [B] [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/nyla-harris/Ph4-TtrZEemAzfp8ouYFiw/default.htm']Nyla Harris[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/orlando/lake-highland-prep-highlanders/basketball/girls/']Lake Highland Prep (Orlando, Fla.)[/URL] 6-2 | Senior | Forward | Louisville[/B] The focal point for No. 15 in the nation scoring 17.8 points a game, and adding 11.4 rebounds. [B] [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/taniya-latson/fVGokqMYi0ekaB46gfIENg/default.htm']Ta'Niya Latson[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/plantation/american-heritage-patriots/basketball/girls/']American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)[/URL] 5-8 | Senior | Guard | Florida State[/B] The marvelously athletic Latson put up impressive numbers for the 25-4 Patriots, who won the 5A state title. She finished with 27.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from 3-point distance and 81 percent from the line. [B]*[URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/gisella-maul/fZseh8wNEemAzfp8ouYFiw/default.htm']Gisella Maul[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/tx/cedar-park/cedar-park-timberwolves/basketball/girls/']Cedar Park (Texas)[/URL] 5-10 | Junior | Guard | Uncommitted[/B] The Timberwolves finished 37-0, won the Texas 5A championship and rose to No. 11 in the nation, thanks in great part to Maul. She averaged 25.3 points and 8.2 rebounds a game, shot 50 percent from the field, 37.8 percent from 3-point distance and 84 percent from the free throw line. [B] [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/indya-nivar/cVd33KG8EeiAxKkkK9HIDg/default.htm']Indya Nivar[/URL], [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/nc/apex/apex-friendship-patriots/basketball/girls/']Apex Friendship (Apex, N.C.)[/URL] 5-9 | Senior | Guard | Stanford[/B] She got the attention of Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer despite playing 2,600 miles from Northern California, thanks to her 18.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists a game for the 29-3 Patriots.
