#64 Ashlynn Arnsman Ashlynn Arnsman 6'0" | SF Unity | 2023 State IL 5’10 Unity High School / Illinois Inferno
A long and strong athlete, Ashlynn is a walking nightmare for her opponents. She has soft hands that can catch anything, including an outlet pass while she is sprinting down the court. A rim runner, Ashlynn is always ready for a pass and to attack the rim in a flurry. She can play inside/out and finish with contact. Ashlynn is filled with potential.
#65 Katey Flynn Katey Flynn 5'10" | SF Brown County | 2023 State IL 5’10 Brown County High School / Illinois Inferno
A combo guard than doesn’t turn it over and has great vision, Katey is a coach’s dream. She can run both guard spots flawlessly and is a leader on the court. When the ball is in her hands she controls the break and typically looks to push the tempo. She has a great back dribble that gives her the space to look for teammates and make plays happen. A guard with her height and her skill set will be very sought after as she continues to mature her game over the next couple years.
#66 Joselyn Gale Joselyn Gale 5'7" | CG Normal West | 2023 State IL 5’7 Normal West High School / Illinois Warriors Royal
I really liked Joselyn’s game. She plays very relaxed and never seemed to lose her cool. Very poised, Joselyn can score around the rim with both hands and finish with contact. She attacks the rim with a purpose and has terrific body control. Joselyn is an athlete to keep an eye on.
#67 Klare Flynn Klare Flynn 5'9" | CG Brown County | 2023 State IL 5’9 Brown County High School / Illinois Inferno
A tall and lanky guard with great vision, Klare is a superb athlete. She has a beautiful shot will fall from anywhere on the court. Klare can run both guard spots as she has strong handles. Her length ang high basketball IQ give her the potential to be a lockdown defender as well.
#72 Kyra Carothers Kyra Carothers 5'9" | CG Unity | 2023 State IL 5’9 Unity High School / Illinois Inferno
Kyra is a long, athletic wing that plays with a purpose. She cuts hard and at the right time and will finish around the rim with contact. She doesn’t back down from anyone and will guard and score on whomever she is versing. She has quickness that allows her to blow by her defender and has a jumper that can fall from all over.
#74 Ashley Wilcox Ashley Wilcox 5'8" | CG Normal West | 2023 State IL 5’8 Normal West Community High School / Heart of Illinois
Ashley brings a lot of positives to the court. A great defender who is always on the help side and ready to jump to the ball, Ashley has long arms and good athleticism that helps her become a stalwart on that end of the floor. She can run the floor, catch the outlet and finish at the rim and has great form on her jump shot.
#75 Tatum Young Tatum Young 5'6" | PG Lake Forest Academy | 2023 State IL 5’6 Lake Forest Academy / Heart of Illinois
A terrific pass, Tatum is a true point guard. She had some of the prettiest passes I saw all summer. She was accurate and found her teammates open at the right time. When she had the ball in her hands, she was in full control of the game and the tempo. She has terrific anticipation on defense and has the ability to be a lock down defender.
#77 Nikki Harrison Nikki Harrison 5'11" | PF Harlem | 2023 State IL 5’11 Harlem High School / Illinois Midwest Wildcats
A post with great size and athleticism, there is a lot to like about Nikki’s game. She was a problem on defense for her opponents, blocking and altering shots. She is quick and has a great crossover. That quick crossover, plus the rest of her ability to take care of the basketball, make her a nightmare match up for anyone. She can attack from the outside but can post you up and score from down low. I really liked her spin move on the block as it is strong, quick and deliberate.
