Jenna Caterino Jenna Caterino SG Greenville | 2021 State MI (SG, Greenville)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #137
Caterino is severely underrated. She’s a scorer at heart, and plays an aggressive but intelligent offensive game. Lakeland University is getting a 4 year contributor.
Lola Chambers Lola Chambers 6'0" | PF West Bloomfield | 2021 State MI (PF, West Bloomfield)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking:#29
Chambers is a top 20 post player. She moves so well in the paint and plays good team defense in the post. Chambers can match up with any power forward in the state.
Brooklyn Robak Brooklyn Robak SG Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes | 2021 State MI (SG, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #47
Good luck finding a weakness in Robak’s game. She has one of the highest basketball IQ’s in the state, hands down. She has the game of a top 30 prospect.
Nykesha Sanders Nykesha Sanders 5'7" | PG Chandler Park | 2021 State MI (PG, Chandler Park)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #21
Sanders, I think, just gets caught up in the depth of the class. In most states, she’s a top 10-15 talent. Sanders is super quick on both ends and tough for the average defender to stay in front of.
Ella Stemmer Ella Stemmer 5'10" | SG Saline | 2021 State MI (SG, Saline)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #17
Stemmer is another player whose ranking, because of depth, doesn’t do her justice. She’s a top 10 or so talent hiding out at 17. Stemmer may have been the state’s postseason MOP before the covid shutdown.
Taylor Watkins-Johnson Taylor Watkins-Johnson PG Westland John Gelnn | 2021 State MI (PG, Westland John Glenn)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #60
I’m telling anyone that will listen, watch out for Watkins-Johnson this season. She’s an intelligent and athletic lead guard. Watkins-Johnson can create for her teammates with consistency.
Monica Williams Monica Williams CG Detroit King | 2021 State MI (CG, Detroit King)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #87
Williams is definitely a prospect to keep your eyes on. I think she’ll prove to be one of the top players in the PSL this season. She can both handle and score at a high level.
