Meet The Top Five
There are two new faces in the top 10. Rennia Davis of Jacksonville, Florida, came into the summer at No. 11 and moved up two spots to 9. Chennedy Carter of Arlington, Texas, moved up three spots to No. 10 as well.
Though there was limited movement in the top 10, there were plenty of other movers in the class. Nobody moved up higher from the pre-summer rankings than Cal commit Kianna Smith of Moreno Valley, California. The 5-foot-9 point guard was fantastic this summer, moving her up to No. 27 in the ELITE 150.

Other players making significant moves include Te’a Adams of Kirkland, Washington, Vivian Gray of Qadashah Hoppie of Staten Island, New York, Destiny Littleton of San Diego, California, Alaysia Styles of San Diego, California and Unique Thompson of Theodore, Alabama.
There are new faces in the top 75 of the ELITE 150 as well. Washington commit Kierra Collier of Kansas City, Missouri, moves in at No. 55. Something must be in a name because Kierra Fletcher of Warren, Michigan, checks in at No. 58. Bianca Jackson of Montgomery, Alabama, and Sydne Wiggins of Powder Springs, Georgia also moved in the top half of the rankings.
