Continue ReadingOur final positional breakdown for the class of 2024 features a pair of interior players from a pair of top teams. Building around interior players is not as popular in modern basketball as it once was, but thanks to the strength of their games and well-rounded skillsets, these players have shown that bigs can still excel playing together.
Ramiya White Ramiya White 6'4" | C Butler | 2024 State KY , Mercy- Being 6’4″ is a natural advantage that’s hard to match, and it’s an advantage White has. She has plenty of athleticism to go along with that size and has already proven herself as a rim protector. If she can tap into the offensive potential her size offers, look out.
Sarah Baker Sarah Baker 6'2" | C Ryle | 2024 State KY , Ryle- The next two players on this list are both considered bigs, but by playing together they have both developed perimeter skills as well. Baker would have to be considered the 4 between the two of them thanks to a good handle and nice jumper, but she still does damage inside and has the size of a big.
Quinn Eubank Quinn Eubank 5'11" | PF Ryle | 2024 State KY , Ryle- Much of Baker’s description fits for Eubank as well, although she is perhaps more of a traditional post player. She has done the dirty work for the Lady Raiders in the past, rebounding and defending to help the perimeter threats, but she has the opportunity to be more of a focus going forward.
Mariah Knight Mariah Knight 6'1" | PF Butler | 2024 State KY , Mercy- The final piece of our pair of twin towers, Knight compliments White’s size inside by using her athleticism to play largely on the perimeter. She still has inside size though and has the ability to do damage around the rim on both ends just as well as White does at this point.
Angelina Pelayo Angelina Pelayo 6'3" | C Sacred Heart | 2024 State KY , Sacred Heart- A new addition to our rankings, Pelayo anchors the inside for the defending state champions. While being on such a loaded roster means she doesn’t have as much opportunity to show off as some others, she is a real inside scoring threat regardless.
Emilea Preece Emilea Preece 6'1" | C Paintsville | 2024 State KY , Paintsville- Another modern center, Preece has double-double ability on the interior to go along with a nice outside shot. She has the skills to be a strong inside-out player with a little more polish across the board.
