Continue ReadingThe’26 rankings just dropped and let me tell you this is a special class. A phenomenal, dynamic class at that, which is filled with some bucket getters. From state champion Kimora Fields Kimora Fields 6'2" | PF Bradley Central | 2026 State TN leading the way, the freshman class is talented from top to bottom. These young ladies took the high school game over with gusto, and they still have 3 more years of playing ball left to go. Folks, I am telling you, there are some big names that will be hooping one day at the next level coming from this class.
As we continue to talk about stock risers, let me touch on this ‘26 class. These youngsters are some pure ballers, lighting up the nets everytime they touch the floor. Yes, they are clutch from the field, but it’s the other things they do that help their clubs win. Rebounding, blocking shots, dropping dimes, these young ladies are truly all around and are hungry for more. They are more than just quote “role players”. These girls have come in and immediately made an impact. Expect the list and competition to grow as years go on, but let’s get started and talk about the stock risers in the class of 2026.
Robynn Thompson Robynn Thompson 5'9" | CG Melrose | 2026 State TN (5’9/CG/ Trezvant)– She’s starting to blossom into something nice. West Tennessee has a special kid on their hands. This year she put the area on notice and this kid is definitely super tough. High motor kid who plays the full length of the floor. Scoring, rebounding, getting steals, making assists, she makes such an impact on the game that coaches are starting to take notice. Her energy is infectious and her talent is crazy good. You can tell Robynn loves the game and she just gets after it. Has toughness, speed, and is super athletic, she’s going to be a force for years to come.
Nya Burns Nya Burns 5'7" | CG Gatlinburg-Pittman | 2026 State TN (5’7/CG/ Gatlinburg-Pittman)– Super tough kid who has an absolute motor. Her ability to change the momentum of the game is crazy good. Has great court awareness, she isn’t afraid to get after it. I will tell you this much, she plays the game at 110%. Nya left me in awe when I saw her ball out. Had a tremendous mid-range game, lit it up from deep, and was hitting open teammates on time in tight windows. Defenses tried to slow her down, but she was carving them up in more ways than one. Then to top it off, she was locking up the other team’s best hooper and giving her fits. Super great talent who is gonna be a beast when it’s all said and done.
Andrea Flores Andrea Flores 5'10" | SG Daniel Boone | 2026 State TN (5’10/SG/ Daniel Boone)– Very impressive kid. The way she can shoot the rock is amazing. She can launch it from deep with ease, but her ability to put on the floor and create shots for herself is crazy good as well. Blessed with great size, she’s a kid who can take advantage of mismatches. Inside or out, she’s going to find a way to carve her opponent up. Was very impressed with confidence and she was just poised with the ball in her hands. She let things definitely, which only most veterans could do. Such a heady player with a bright future for sure.
Trinity Dixon Trinity Dixon 5'6" | PG Fayetteville | 2026 State TN (5’6/PG/ Fayetteville)– An absolute “dawg” with the ball in her hands. She has such great court awareness and can score the rock. Has a nice punch step, great counter moves, her ability to get down hill with ease is crazy. She can score from deep, but with that quick first step, her mid-range game is lethal. Locks up on the defensive end, buckets off creating turnovers comes easy to her. Has a great motor and is an all out go getter. Don’t let her stature fool you, she comes to play no matter who the opponent is.

5'8" | SG
Cookeville | 2026
State
TN
(5’8/SG/ Cookeville)– Took major strides this season and was one of the leading catalysts to her club’s successful run to state this year. She wasn’t afraid to step in and took the game by storm. Allie can shoot the rock. From the mid-range to beyond the arc, her ball hits the bottom of the net. What I also liked about her was she wasn’t afraid to get down and defend. She stepped up in big time moments and when the lights were bright at the state tournament, she embraced the moment and competed. This kid is someone special and will definitely be the X factor for years to come.

South Gibson | 2026
State
TN
(5’6/PG/ South Gibson)– Heady player who will continue to thrive and keep getting better. She’s a floor general who can score the rock. Doesn’t get rattled against defensive pressure, just has a great overall court presence. She’s a leader who loves challenges. No matter the opponent, she salivates at the opportunity to go at someone. A multi-level scoring threat who is coming into her own. She plays with a chip on her shoulder, feisty, this young lady is scrappy as all get out. Opponents beware, when you play So. Gibson, you’re going to have a 32 min dog fight on your hands.
