FIVE
Aiyanna Tanksley (G/F, Detroit Cody)
Tanksley made a name for herself this season. She proved to be an elite player in the PSL. Tanksley is a downhill player that goes at the rim. She’s very aggressive and relentless on the glass on both ends.
FOUR
Taylor Anderson Taylor Anderson SF South Lyon East | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Detroit Renaissance)
Anderson has a tremendous amount of upside. She’s a silky smooth wing that’s a 3 level scorer. Anderson’s game is completed by her ability to handle the ball and her focus on the defensive end.
THREE
Rakiyah Beal Rakiyah Beal 5'11" | SF Hamtramck | 2022 State #69 Nation MI (2022, SF, Detroit Edison)
There aren’t many, if any, better pure athletes in the state of Michigan. Beal’s upside as a prospect is almost limitless. She excels in the open floor, using her long strides to beat the defense down the court.
TWO
Madisen Wardell Madisen Wardell 6'0" | PF Detroit Edison | 2022 State MI (2022, PF, Detroit Edison)
Wardell is a fast rising prospect in the state, and soon to be beyond that. She’s a long forward that does most of her work facing the basket. Wardell has a ton of potential on the defensive end with her athleticism, footwork, and length.
ONE
Ruby Whitehorn Ruby Whitehorn 6'0" | PG Detroit Edison | 2022 State #20 Nation MI (2022, SG, Detroit Edison)
Whitehorn is one of the top wing talents in the country. She runs the floor and is one of the best finishers in high school basketball. Whitehorn can score at all 3 levels, but doesn’t need to be ball dominant to put up points. She can operate in a typical half court set as well as in an isolation situation.
