Continue ReadingEvery month I try to touch up on our rankings in order to get the most accurate and comprehensive rankings as possible. I usually write a couple articles explaining why certain girls moved up or down in order to keep a level of transparency and give the players tips on what they need to work on. Once again I believe transparency is important and that is the purpose of this article.
As I am about to begin tinkering with the rankings, I think it will be important to share my thoughts going into the process. These girls are certain players that I have really noticed and believe that their stock has rose due to their stellar play. Rankings are very hard to do, especially in the 2021 class due to their being so many high level players.
Madison Conner 6’0 G Perry
Conner has played extremely well since I first saw her play. The very first time I saw her play, she was decent. Since then, she has been nothing short of spectacular. I think it is criminal to have her ranked so low as she currently sits at #13. When initially ranked, I had to go off of what I had seen from her in that first viewing. The last 3 times I’ve seen her play, she’s played like one of the top players in AZ and she has been convincing enough for me to move her up in my rankings. Conner will definitely move up into the top 10, trying to find a suitable spot for her in the top 5.
Ally Stedman 5’9 G Pinnacle
Stedman is easily one of the best point guards in the state. She currently sits at #9 in the 2021 class and that doesn’t sit right with me. I think she is a top 5 player in the 2021 class. I’m definitely going to have to shake things up a bit in my rankings. I’m not sure what kind of college looks that she may have right now but I think she could be very successful playing in the Big Sky or WAC. If she were a little bit taller, she would be talked about on a national scale without a doubt.
Amanda Barcello 6’0 F Seton Catholic
Barcello currently sits at #12 but I think she is a top 10 kid for sure. Look for her to see a small to mid jump in our updated rankings. Her versatility is really what impressed me. She can play and defend multiple spots on the floor and does a little bit of everything. I think this versatility helps her in college and I can see a clear picture of what type of player she will be in college. College potential is definitely something that I take into consideration heavily.
