## Overview

Brooklyn Richter is a 6'4" post/center in the Class of 2027 at Murray High School (4A, Region 10) in Murray, Utah. She is a dual-sport athlete who plays EYBL basketball for the Las Vegas Storm 17 EYCL and is also a four-time Utah 4A state swim champion in sprint freestyle events.

### Playing Style

Brooklyn is a true post player who does her work in the paint. She scores primarily around the rim using her size advantage, with a soft touch on short-range shots. She is a consistent double-double threat - in her junior season she averaged 15.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game across 8 games before a toe fracture ended her season early.

She is an effective shot-blocker (1.4 BPG as a junior, ranked #10 in 4A) and an active rebounder on both ends. Her sophomore year showed steady development, averaging 11.9 PPG and 9.2 RPG over 19 games. She was named Deseret News Athlete of the Week during that season as the team's leading rebounder and second-leading scorer.

Brooklyn's game-by-game logs show she can take over offensively - she scored 20+ points in three of her eight junior-year games, including a 23-point outing against Woods Cross and a 23-point, 14-rebound game against Cyprus.

### Scouting Reports (PrepGirlsHoops.com)

Tonia Ziter (Nov 2025): "Murray's center delivered a standout performance, pouring in 23 points in a single game. Her height gives her a clear advantage in the paint, and if she can build consistency with her rebounding, shot-blocking, and interior presence, she has the potential to become the centerpiece Murray has been searching for."

Tonia Ziter (Sep 2025): "Brooklyn has learned to use her height to her advantage, consistently putting up double-digit points. She's becoming a reliable scoring option around the rim, and if she can take the next step by improving her rebounding presence, she has the potential to elevate her game to the next level."

Hector Marquez (May 2025): "Richter is a player with size and she is ready to cash in on her hard work. Richter could be a major presence in the paint on offense with deep post position and also on defense patrolling the paint and rebounding. She should have a breakout year."

Hector Marquez (May 2025): "Richter is an interesting prospect that has been playing well. Her size alone should get you to pay attention. Most of her damage is done inside, she is a double-double machine. She is a player you have to work hard to get off the glass and if she could be consistent her scoring and impact on the game will continue to go up."

Hector Marquez (2025): "Last season you can see that her size could really help her and this season she is taking advantage of that as she is pouring in 10 PPG. She has about a handful of double-doubles this year and she almost hauled in 20 rebounds in one game. She is a player that you need to watch that is a true center."

Hector Marquez (2024): "Richter will be surrounded by a lot of solid guards and this could help her as she can use her presence to attract more than one defender. Richter could improve by patrolling the paint and being a shot altering defender."

Hector Marquez (2024): "Richter is off the radar but you can't deny her size. She might get more run next year but could be a hidden gem here soon over at Murray."

Hector Marquez (2024): "You know what they say, you can't teach height and that is a raw prospect we are talking about over at Murray High School. This is a program that has done well with players with some size as they have placed them at different levels beyond high school. Richter might take time to develop but she could be a gem moving forward."

## Swimming

Brooklyn is a four-time Utah 4A state swimming champion.
