Emerging 2026s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Freshman class has had almost an entire season to prove themselves at the varsity level and a few players are really starting to make a name for themselves. Here's a few 2026 prospects whose stock has been taking off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["568110"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Predominantly a shooter at this point in her career, Macke is putting up respectable numbers of 8 points and 3 rebounds per game with shooting splits of 37-32-57 on the season. To take her game to the next level, Saylor needs to become more aggressive off the dribble and attacking the rim and capitalizing on her opportunities at the free throw line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e006320cd26"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["571230"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ryle seems to just consistently be reloading as opposed to rebuilding. Jones is playing a role in her Freshman season as the 4th scorer for the Lady Raiders. More than likely, Jaelyn will step into the [player_tooltip player_id='164392' first='Abby' last='Holtman'] role next season and start getting the bulk of the shots for Ryle. Her shooting numbers are very good and she's only going to get better as a big guard.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e006320cdb9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["583793"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ava is making the most of her role as a freshman on a PC team that has 2 Seniors taking most of the team's shots.

Kennedy is a big time scorer and can get a bucket at all three levels. She already excels at getting to the free throw line and she converts at a high level when she gets there. Keep an eye on Lane to start drawing D1 coaches to Owensboro soon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e006320ceae"} /-->
