Front Court Players to Watch in the Class of 2026

By Michael Wholey 10/5/22 9:00 AM EST   In our first release of the class of 2026 this past month, we ranked over 200 players in the class.   Let's take a look at some of the top wings and forward in the class of 2026.      [player_tooltip player_id='470393' first='France' last='Garilus'] (Meadowbrook / TNBA Florida South) – 6'0 Forward   Ranking: 9   Garilus is a young, strong, 6'0 post with a solid build. She was one of the new faces from this summer.  She has great height, solid athleticism and runs the floor exceptionally well for a front court player.  The intensity and effort she gave on a consistent basis broke her into the top 10 in the initial rankings of the class of 2026.         [player_tooltip player_id='514615' first='Arriah' last='Denmark'] (Ocoee / Central Florida Elite) – 5'10 Center   Ranking: 53   Denmark is a 5'10 forward / center that was part of a very talented Central Florida Elite youth program loaded with talent.  In a program loaded with talent, Denmark is potentially one of its stars.  She is a very active two-way player that is equally as aggressive on offense as she is on defense.      [player_tooltip player_id='221613' first='Alyssa' last='Hallman'] (Western / Miami Suns Select) – 5'11 Forward   Ranking: 63   Hallman is a long, tall, versatile player who has mainly played on the post but is continuing to improve her perimeter skills.  As an interior post player she stays on the glass, contests shots in the paint, and plays with consistent effort and energy.  Offensively, she can knock down the 15 foot jump shot, rip to the rim and finishes well on offensive putbacks.     [player_tooltip player_id='514635' first='Dnaela' last='Myers'] (Pines / Florida Lady Huskies) – 5'7 Wing / Forward   Ranking: 74   Myers is a strong, raw wing / forward who has a ton of potential. She was a new face this July on the exposure circuit suiting it up with a talented Florida Lady Huskies squad.  Her body, length and athleticism give her a ton of potential and a high ceiling.  I look forward to seeing more of her and follow her growth.      [player_tooltip player_id='470396' first='Skye' last='Thompson'] (New River / GT Queens) – 5'10 Forward   Ranking: 114   Thompson is a solid, all-around post that has a ton of positive attributes and is extremely intriguing.  In a day and age where every post wants to be a wing or guard, Thompson is a true low post player who is comfortable playing with her back to the basket.  She is strong and aggressive down low and does a great job making her presence known in the paint.  She is a promising front court player that is a potential stock riser.      Michael Wholey is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.
