Seniors unless noted. College commitment in parentheses.
Rae Johnson, G, 5-8, St. Michael-Albertville (Iowa State)
All-around talent can score, dish and lead.
Mikayla Hayes, PF, 6-2, Park Center (Florida)
Athletic four-year starter has terrific timing, rebounding skills.
Paige Bueckers, freshman, G, 5-9, Hopkins (undecided)
Plays with the skill level and poise of a much older player. Next great Minnesota player.
Rachel Ranke, F, 6-1, Eastview (Kansas State)
Matchup nightmare; can hit from outside and score down low.
Destinee Oberg, sophomore, F, 6-2, Holy Angels (undecided)
Physically overpowering, with terrific footwork and instincts around the basket.
