HoopGurlz and Prospects Nation have updated their 2025 and 2026 recruiting rankings for the fall. Below are those that have ND offers (that we know of) along with their new rankings:

2025 Rankings
ZaKiyah Johnson #12 (HG) and #4 (PN)
Deniya Prawl #13 (HG) and #10 (PN)
Leah Macy #16 (HG) and #11 (PN)
Madison Francis #33 (HG) and #21 (PN)

2026 Rankings
Saniyah Hall #1 (HG) and #1 (PN)
Kate Harpring #2 (HG) and #2 (PN)
Oliviah Edwards #4 (HG) and #4 (PN)
McKenna Woliczko #6 (HG) and #5 (PN)
Olivia Vukosa #5 (HG) and #6 (PN)
Brihanna Crittendon #9 (HG) and #9 (PN)
Addison Bjorn #10 (HG) and #13 (PN)
Savvy Swords #13 (HG) and #14 (PN)
Sanai Green #27 (HG) and #16 (PN)
Autumn Fleary #14 (HG) and #17 (PN)

Notes:

- Obviously, each school views the rankings differently, based on their own needs. Just because these services show slightly more value for one player over another doesn't mean that ND feels the same way. 

- Just a common sense observation, but it appears that these recruiting analysts favor players that they see more in person (camp/summer tournaments) than say those that play in international competition. While it's human nature, it makes me take these rankings with a grain of salt, particularly with the highest ranked players.

- That said, it's been universally agreed that Kate Harpring has made the biggest leap in the recruiting rankings this summer for either class. I don't know where she'll end up but if she's playing against ND, she will not be a fun opponent. She definitely possesses a lot of her father's traits.

Like everyone else, I have some thoughts on how this might play out over the next couple years, but I'll withhold comment for now. Obviously, 2026 high school recruiting could be greatly impacted by how well they play this year, as could 2025 transfer recruiting.

Hopefully, we'll find out soon who's making campus visits over the next couple weeks.
