Dijonai Carrington
Sabrina Ionescu, Erin Boley and Crystal Dangerfield are all elite players whose stock rose this spring.
With the spring basketball season over and summer ball upon us, the ProspectsNation.com Ranking Committee has expanded the player rankings for the class of 2016 to a top 100. The ELITE 100 will expand to the ELITE 150 after the July summer circuit and camp season.
ELITE 100
The biggest move among players in the top five is Erin Boley, the 6-foot-2 Notre Dame commit from Hodgenville, Ky., who moved up from No. 18 to No. 5 behind her consistent and stellar play. Sabrina Ionescu, the 5-11 guard from Walnut Creek, Calif., also moved into the top five, moving up from No. 7 to No. 4.
Earlier in the spring we saw great improvement in the game of Dijonai Carrington, the 5-11 wing from San Diego, Calif., and that continued from the Check Me Out SoCal Showcase in April through USA Basketball U19 national team trials, leading to her move up to No. 14 in the class.
A trio of point guards from the Midwest also elevated their stock as Alecia Sutton of Kirkwood Mo., and Tyasha Harris of Indianapolis, Ind., check in at Nos. 15 and 16 respectively, while Kiara Lewis of Chicago, Ill., moves up to No. 20.
