Continue ReadingWelcome to the very talented sophomore class in Ohio. The top tier of the Top 50 is very talented, among the best in the nation. The PGH Staff again will bring you the latest rankings update as for the next few days, we will look at stock risers and newcomers to the 2023 rankings.
Reminder, these rankings are updates at least three times per year, so expect some shifting around after the upcoming season.
Sole Williams Sole Williams 5'7" | CG Cincinnati Princeton | 2023 State OH , 5-7 CG, Princeton
I am not afraid to admit when I miss someone, and I will be the first to admit, I missed her on the last update and underrated her skills. Sole is an exceptional talent, and will have the bigtime schools calling when they are allowed. She vaults up the rankings from #18 all the way to #3 in her class. Very skilled in most aspects of her game. Can make things happen with the ball. Scores on anyone, able to create an uptempo style and she continues to mature on the court.
Raeven Raye-Redmond Raeven Raye-Redmond 5'8" | CG Trotwood Madison | 2023 State OH , 5-8 CG, Trotwood Madison
Another kid who sees her stock rise as she jumps from #8 to #6 in the latest update. Raeven has numerous D1 offers and it’s not hard to figure out why. Love her defensive effort, active hands and can turn a game around in a few possessions. Great athleticism and on-ball defender. Can score from the perimeter, and guard any position on the court. Fun to watch play and continue to improve.
Allie Stockton Allie Stockton 5'11" | PF Sidney | 2023 State OH , 5-11 PF, Sidney
Such a strong physical presence who can get it done at both ends of the floor. Very strong on the boards, will rebound and push in transition. Sees the court well and will find her open teammates. Able to score from inside-out, with good range and moves her feet well to get into position to score. Allie moves up from #15 to #14 in a very crowded and talented top 20.
Riley Rismiller Riley Rismiller 6'3" | C Coldwater | 2023 State OH , 6-3 P, Coldwater
Making her debut in the PGH rankings is a post player who I love to watch play. Just a solid, agile and mobile player who can hurt you in many ways on the court. Strong on the boards and as her game grows, so will her interest from the next level. Playing in the MAC will no doubt make her better and stronger. Debuts in the top 20 at #16.
Sami Bardonaro Sami Bardonaro 5'10" | CG Vandalia Butler | 2023 State OH , 5-7 PG, Vandalia Butler
No surprise she moves up, her game is growing. Pushed into a bigger leadership role after a teammates injury last season, Sami has really developed into a phenomenal player with a lot of upside. Will drop it from out beyond the arc on a consistent basis. Moves very well, great handles and can create for her teammates and herself. Great floor leader with high ceiling. Sami moves up from #25 to #23.
Sophie Huffman Sophie Huffman 5'7" | PG Wilmington | 2023 OH , 5-8 CG, Wilmington
Another fast riser, Sophie debuts at #25 in the rankings during this update. The epitome of a great guard. Sophie (pictured above) can fly end-to-end as fast as anyone with the ball, plays under control and moved her feet and body well for the better shot. Can slash and score, will finish on the break or make the great pass to an open teammate. Good on-ball defender and opening the eyes of next-level coaches.
