This week’s changes saw some movement in the top 10 with Stanford moving up to No. 6 with the addition of Maya Dodson, the No. 24 player in the class. Another Pac-12 school, USC, saw its stock move up with the addition of Destiny Littleton, the No. 19 player the class. The addition moved the three-player Southern Cal class up to No. 7 nationally.
Ole Miss is on the rise as well adding No. 54 Chyna Nixon to the Rebels’ class. The Virginia native joins No. 49 Millicia Reid, giving the program two four-star guards to date in the class.
Two schools are making their debuts in the top 50 recruiting classes – No. 45 Penn, which added 6-foot-4 post Eleah Parker this week, and No. 46 Cincinnati, which added 6-3 post Andeija Puckett.
