<p>Making the Prep Girls Hoops Freshmen 50 – the first ranking of Minnesota's Class of 2026 – is a real accomplishment. It recognizes all of the time, effort and focus these players have invested to build their basketball skill set thus far, and it identifies players in the players in class who we think have the most potential. In our opinion, every player listed among the Top 50 has the potential to play college basketball at the scholarship level. Will that prognostication come to pass? Will they all make it to that level? Only time will tell. Our rankings will grow and evolve over the next four years but this is where it all begins.</p>

<p>Last week we started with the debate over who should be the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/09/who-is-number-1-in-minnesotas-class-of-2026/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/09/who-is-number-1-in-minnesotas-class-of-2026/">#1-ranked prospect</a></strong> in the Class of 2026 and followed that with the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/09/the-pgh-freshmen-50-meet-the-top-10/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/09/the-pgh-freshmen-50-meet-the-top-10/">Top 10 prospects</a> </strong>among the state's best 9th graders. This week we revealed the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/10/the-freshmen-50-meet-the-rest-of-the-top-20/">rest of the Top 20</a></strong>. And now we complete the process by giving you the rest of the players in the Freshmen 50. The complete list is available under the ‘rankings' tab. Here are the players in spots 21 through 50:</p>
