Top 5 women's high school basketball seniors to watch out for in the 2024-25 season

#5. Grace Knox

The 6-foot-2 wing is currently attending Etiwanda High in California with averages of 18 points and 9 rebounds a game. Grace Knox brings scoring efficiency and rebounding prowess, making her an integral component of her team.

Ranked as the No. 6 player by ESPN, Knox's ability to affect both ends of the court has earned her a spot in LSU's top-ranked 2024 recruiting class. Her signing with LSU could be a great fit, as she could develop well under coach Kim Mulkey, known to develop top-notch talent.

Most of Knox's strengths are in excellent court vision, defense, and reliable mid-range shooting, making her a player to watch as she transitions to the collegiate level.

#4. Aaliyah Crump

Aaliyah Crump is a standout guard from Minnetonka High School in Minnesota, who took her team to the top of Class AAAA state honors, managing 24.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

As a commit to the University of Texas, Crump brings an explosive playing style, excelling in scoring from all areas of the floor. Her defensive prowess complements her offensive talent, making her a formidable two-way player who promises to make an immediate impact in college.

#3. Jasmine Davidson

A 6-foot-1 guard from Clackamas High School, Jasmine Davidson signed on to play at the University of Southern California. Davidson's numbers from last season are 19.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, which highlights her potential.

One of Davidson's optimized contributions is her offensive productivity and defensive hustle. Davidson represents another important recruit heading to the University of Southern California, who will look to make the most of her agility, shooting and competitive drive.

Davidson has already gained a good reputation, at least based on her showings against the top-tier competition at the high school level. She is a definite future star of the college basketball scene.

#2. Sienna Betts

Sienna Betts, a 6-4 Grandview High School forward from Colorado, is a UCLA commit. She averaged 22 points and 13 rebounds per contest last year, so she can certainly take it to the post. Such open-play control and quality defending should stand Betts in good stead when she has to play against physically stronger opponents.

A coveted UCLA recruit who is going to add so much to the roster of the Bruins, Betts is balanced and careful in her approach as much as she is a naturally gifted athlete.

#1. Aaliyah Chavez

Aaliyah Chavez is a Monterey High School point guard from Lubbock, Texas. She dominated almost effortlessly last season averaging 38.5 points per game. Her team even had a 28-5 record, which highlights her ability as a scorer and a playmaker.

That's what distinguishes Chavez, her ability to control the tempo, locate scoring chances, and stay accurate even under fire. She is considered by many to be one of the most exciting guards of her generation and will soon start causing ripples at the upper levels of competition.
