She can score in bunches from all over, but especially from attacking the rim. Her ball handle is strong, and she's willing to do whatever is needed out of her in that possession. A seamlessly fitting guard who can excel where ever she's placed. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["661254"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":731376,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eCracking the top 75, in a class full of guards with tremendous talent.. Donovan sticks out just about wherever she plays. Her IQ is always the first thing noticed, and her ability to play the game with poise is the main thing that intrigues me. She plays the game far more mature than her age, and she can run the offense with just about any type of player. As the skills start become fine tuned, and she starts to grow.. Kate will start to see her name next to top talent in the state.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["686474"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eA paced type of game but the aggression and strength are present. Ruholl On the drive to her right seems to be a bucket each time. She has the confidence from outside the arc, and she knocks down a fair amount of them. The ability to knockdown the midrange off the dribble is present as well.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["728414"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eDonald has impressive instincts when she's filling the facilitator role, and her height and length are key to that as well. She's a risky passer, but the vision is there and the passes are usually pinpoint. She's active, tough and has no agenda when she plays the game. An outside shot is present as well.

Defensively she's alert on rotations, she's willing to guard who ever and her instincts to blow up lanes, skip passes or lazy passes are evident. On the opposite side of the ball, you can see her skillset starting to form. Can get to the rim, while also being able to knock down the long ball. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c6d2ae38391"} /--> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=PG">CLASS OF 2026 Point Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=SG">CLASS OF 2026 Shooting Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=CG">CLASS OF 2026 Combo Guards</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->

The 2026 class has been the topic for most of the spring and summer, hints why it took us so long to get this list updated. The talent pool is deep, but the physical size in this class can't be overlooked. The new era of basketball is here and this class is at the top of the change.
