Class Of 2026 Hidden Gems

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the last article we touched on some household names from the class of 2026. In this article we'll take a dive into some hidden gems you'll want to keep an eye out for this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='379592' first='Norah' last='DelaBarre'] </strong>– LaMoure –<strong> </strong>5'9 - DelaBarre really has come into her own and looks to lead this competitive young Wolves squad. She's physical, can play inside and out as well is a surprisingly solid defender. I think she's got the tools to be a great leader for LaMoure in the coming years as she'll be looked too as the main option these next few seasons to come. With the talent that the Wolves have coming up this season could be a huge jump for this young squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aubree Jeanotte</strong> – St. John – 5'5 - Aubree is a firecracker of a players. She's dynamic on the court and play at both ends. Quick, decisive and agile. She has no issues getting to the rim and if left open beyond the arc she's cashing in for 3. She's a defensive power and has quick hands. I'd like to see her gamble less and play straight up more on defense as she's got the tools to be an active aggressive defender. A player that is going to shine and will surely average above 15 points a game this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='415694' first='Rachel' last='Neumiller']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/rachel-neumiller/"></a> – Harvey – 5'9 - Rachel is a stretch big that can do a multitude of things on the court. She's a proficient scorer that doesn't take no for an answer in the post as she's relentless around the rim. I'd like to see her add a few finishing touches around the rim with either hand, but what she lacks in post moves is made up for in her ability to stretch the defense on the perimeter having to play her straight up from beyond the arc. Not the most lethal shooter but given enough space she's adding 3 to the scoreboard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='629950' first='Elsie' last='Becker']</strong> - Fargo South - 6' - Elsie is still a little raw but has the mechanics to make a great Varsity player. She's gotten stronger in the post and has nice fundamentals about her. I'd like to see her work on footwork a bit more and get more clearing space when going against smaller posts, but she's come a long way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mya Glynn</strong> - Ellendale - 5'7 - Mya is a lengthy guard that's got a great motor. She's gotten stronger over the years of watching her play and is more aggressive than ever on defense. I'd like to see her be a bit more active with her hands and not her hips as that often gets her in foul trouble. She's got a great lefty shot and we all know lefties are the ones that can be most dynamic on the court and tougher to guard. She's got a great shot that's she timid at times to take, but honestly needs to let it fly when left open. As the confidence grows so will her skill set. This is my dark horse to watch out for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
