Hoopgurlz is also not the only ranking service.

Obviously, the McDonald's game only has 24 players, so the McDonald's selectors obviously had Gilbert and Nixon in their top 25.  Gilbert also made the Jordan Brand Classic. So she's in their top 25.

All 3 of the other major services seem to have Nixon and Gilbert in their top 25s.

Nixon's ASGR rating as of her commitment was #25 on the button.  I found a tweet that had Gilbert as ASGR #10 as of Nov. 2017.

Gilbert and Nixon are #15 and #16, respectively with ProspectsNation.

Blue Star is especially high on ND's class.  They have Prohaska at 15 (!), Gilbert at 20, Nixon at 24, and Cosgrove at 36.

Nixon's Hoopgurlz ranking is especially tough to square with her most recent written evaluation, which describes her as "explosively athletic" and an "elite back court prospect".  And then Dan Olson himself wrote she was the best passer in the McDonald's game.  I'm thinking Olson's rankings may be significantly under-ranking Nixon.   But hey, it will make Muffet look like a genius in the future when she has an excellent starting point guard who was ranked so low by ESPN.
