In Washington, we’ve had teams/players playing locally in Washington and as far as the midwest to this point. In Washington, the non top 50 players nationally are often overlooked in the 75-250 range as far as rankings go, but prospects still tend to fare well in their college recruitment. Prep Girls Hoops is able to provide a platform to those players that are very talented, but do not have to be top 20 level players to be recognized. The players below range from mid-low major recruits to future high major performers.
Summer stock risers:
2020 5’11 F Irena Korolenko (FOH Seattle) – The Cedar Park Christian star has been solid for FOH this summer. She has a solid frame and pretty smooth skill set that is appealing to some college coaches. Multiple low and mid major programs have talked to me about her recently and she does have an offer on the table now.
2022 6’2 SF Drea Brumfield (ABA Black) – One of the best 2022’s in the region is slowly, but surely making a name for herself as I have long predicted would happen. Drea has picked up offers from Portland and Portland State already, making her one of the very few rising sophomores with Division 1 offers. Her versatility, mobility and length is as good as any player in the state for her class.
2020 6’2 F Jordyn Jenkins (Tree of Hope) – Yes, Jenkins has been known by college coaches and throughout the region for a long time, but her play has helped her stock all around. Jordyn is the strongest and most agile forward in the state and she has shown that on the circuit this summer. In some national rankings, she was outside of the top 100, but she has proven to be a top 40-50 player nationally.
2021 5’3 PG Esmerelda Morales (Team Northwest) – The stigma on small guards is very much real, but Esmerelda continues to prove doubters wrong. In the EYBL, she has led her team in scoring and displays unshakable confidence versus high level competition. Coming into the spring there may have been some question marks about her ability to get it done versus bigger opponents, but she can flat out play.
2023 6’4 W/F Olivia Anderson (NW Blazers) – This young wing-forward prospect has as high of a ceiling as any player in the state, regardless of class. She’s quickly gained high major interest and had multiple Pac-12 programs following her to games in July. After a strong showing at Future Stars USA, other power 5 programs are going to be getting involved.
