In this article:
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan recently updated their class of 2023 prospect rankings. Let’s look at some high risers, some of which are coming all the way from being unranked.
Rachel Williams Rachel Williams 5'8" | PF Canton | 2023 State MI (PF, Canton)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #29
Williams absolutely exploded this spring with Hype Athletics. She was one of the top post defenders that I saw all spring, taking on big time competition, and slowing them to say the least. Williams flashed big time promise as an all around prospect.
Morganne Houk Morganne Houk 5'7" | SG Plymouth Christian Academy | 2023 State MI (PG, Plymouth Christian)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #45
Houk is just plain fun to watch. She can absolutely light up a scoreboard from behind the arc. Her shooting can change the course of a game in an instant. Houk has very good shot selection and is perfectly willing to, and capable of, hitting an open teammate with a better look at the rim.
Emma Riley Emma Riley 5'7" | PG Fowler | 2023 State MI (PG, Fowler)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #57
With her post season performance, Riley had to rise on the list of prospects. She has a basketball IQ that is well beyond her years. Riley can have an effect on the game with, or without, the ball in her hands. She’s an excellent ball handler and an efficient perimeter player.
Payton Lee Payton Lee 6'4" | C Anchor Bay | 2023 State MI (C, Anchor Bay)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #73
Lee has really began to stand out as a post prospect. She’s a game changing defender that offenses have to game plan around. Lee can alter or block shots on a frequent basis.
Jaevyn Montgomery Jaevyn Montgomery 5'8" | SF East Kentwood | 2023 State MI (SG, East Kentwood)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #88
Montgomery is the type of 2 way player that coaches love to have on their roster. She’s a physically tough player and a superb all around athlete. There is a ton of room for growth and development in her game as well.
Ava Scanlon Ava Scanlon 6'1" | C Grand Ledge | 2023 State MI (C, Grand Ledge)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #122
Scanlon is definitely a player on the rise. She has the potential to become a real force in the paint on both ends of the floor. Scanlon is a player that coaches at the next level will want to keep an eye on.
Destanee Smith Destanee Smith 5'5" | CG Petersburg-Summerfield | 2023 State MI (CG, Petersburg-Summerfield)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #161
Smith is a big talent from a small school. A little bird told me to keep an eye on her, and I’ve sure been impressed. She has the potential to be prolific on the offensive end and could end up being a steal at the next level.
