She had an incredible summer with Flight Elite and continued to prove why she is worthy of the top prospect in her class. I love her ability to score the basketball. She has an excellent stroke and she can make it at any time whether it’s wide open or with solid defense in her face. She holds over 20 major offers.  Emily La ChapellEmilyLa Chapell5'10" | SGAppleton East | 2022State#57NationWI | 5’10 CG La Chapell had such an impressive summer and jumped on the radar of so many college coaches. She’s a gifted athlete with an incredibly high ceiling. She can score the basketball from multiple levels and she has an excellent perimeter stroke from beyond the arc. Instinctively she has a nice feel for the game and her best years are certainly ahead of her.  Lily HansfordLilyHansford6'2" | SGAppleton East | 2022StateWI | 6’2 W Hansford moved to the #3 spot after a fantastic summer with Wisconsin Flight Elite. A standout shooter, the lefty can knock it down from anywhere. She has a smooth release with range that extends well beyond the arc. Defenders cannot leave Hansford open as she will always make them pay. Her shot selection is good and her efficiency and ability to get open is advanced as her patience to play within the flow of the game. She has great positional size that will translate so well at the next level.  Jordan MeulemansJordanMeulemans5'10" | CGDe Pere | 2022StateWI | 5’10 CG  The De Pere standout is such a fun player to watch compete. Her basketball IQ is so high and it shows in her versatility and ability to be a consistent two-way player. Her range extends behind the arc and she can score off the bounce as well. Her vision and ability to score in transition is impressive, and overall she’s a difficult cover for opposing guards. She’s a scrappy defender and has great on ball footwork without becoming rattled. Currently holds a handful of Division 1 offers.  Kamy PepplerKamyPeppler5'9" | PGHortonville | 2022StateWI | 5’9 PG Peppler is a skilled guard with an ability to create and score, Peppler finishes at multiple levels and she has the ability to handle the ball with success and efficiency in half court sets and transition. She has solid leadership, makes good decisions, and she can take over the gas as needed. She is committed to UW Milwaukee.  Abbie AalsmaAbbieAalsma6'0" | CGWaupun | 2022StateWI | 6’0 G A 6’0 fill the box score guard who does a little bit of everything game in and game out. She’s constantly on the attack, she can knock down the jumper, and she has the ability to create and clean the glass while also making an impact as needed defensively.. Really like what she brings to the table in terms of her overall upside and potential. She has size, length and athleticism, etc. and she has the ability to score at multiple levels.  Lily KrahnLilyKrahn5'10" | CGPrairie Du Chien | 2022StateWI | 5’10 G Krahn is certainly one of the biggest stock risers on the scene this time around and has proven how incredibly talented she is and will be at the next level.

She understands the flow of the game and moves so well without the ball.  Jordana ReismaJordanaReisma6'2" | SFBrown Deer | 2022StateWI | 6’2 W A strong and athletic talent who showed flashes of dominance when her motor clicked on. She has plus length, can score around the basket, she has dominant rebounding potential, and she’s really just scratching the surface. One of those below the radar types who is a major scholarship caliber player. Reisma has so much potential and improves parts of her game every time I’ve seen her compete.  Nakiyah HurstNakiyahHurst6'0" | PFMilwaukee Academy of Science | 2022StateWI | 6’0 F New to the top 10 this time around is Milwaukee Academy of Science and Wisconsin Playground Elite forward, Hurst. A solid interior prospect who can slide between the forward and wing position as needed. That being said her big picture upside is as a small forward where she has agility, instincts, feel and ability to score at the rim. She’s added some impressive handles and does well when going downhill. She runs the floor and works with guards well.  Ja’Cia Cunningham | 5’8 PG Cunningham is a high tempo guard who handles the ball, can knock down the perimeter stroke, and has solid instincts. Cunningham was part of a loaded backcourt this summer and she still found ways to stand out. Cunningham has a great overall ability to impact the game and her best basketball is in front of her. She’s a legitimate D1 caliber guard who has received major attention this summer.
