<p>Tuesday we released the updated rankings for the Class of 2026. We expanded the watch list from 50 prospects to 75 prospects, so if you include the Top-50 as well, there are now 125 members of the Class of 2026 listed on Prep Girls Hoops Indiana. Below, I wanted to highlight all of the 2-guards in the class who we currently have listed, as well as highlight those new to the list, and point out a handful of ladies who stood out throughout the Summer and early Fall.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='486513' first='Brennah' last='Cerny'], 2026, 5-6 SG, Roncalli H.S.</font></strong><br>- Brennah is a long, wiry-strong kid who is a solid athlete in all directions. As a Freshman, she saw Varsity action immediately, shooting 31% from behind the 3-point line. With a major backcourt loss to graduation, and another to transfer, she will be huge for the Royals this year.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='486546' first='Kendall' last='McLaughlin'], 2026, 5-7 SG/SF, Homestead H.S.</font></strong><br>- Kendall has been on our radar for a couple of years now, but it was her play throughout the Summer and this past Sunday that stand out. She is a strong wing who's willing to play with physicality and do a lot of the "little things". She's also an excellent shooter at all three levels.</p>

<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='492317' first='Keadriah' last='Butler'], 2026, 5-8 SG, Lawrence North H.S.</font></strong><br>- "KeKe" had an outstanding grassroots season, as she played "up" an age group and showed the ability to score the ball in a variety of ways at all three levels. She has nice length, a wiry-strong frame, and she is a really nice North/South athlete with some quickness. She is still best off the bounce, but she can knock down a rhythm 3-pointer, plus she has a solid pull-up jumper. She'll also defend with effort.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='567134' first='Joslyn' last='Bricker'], 2026, 5-8 SG, Warsaw Community H.S.</font></strong><br>- Not many people had seen Joslyn leading into the 2022-2023 season, and all she did was lead the 18-6 Warsaw Tigers in scoring. She has great length, fluid athleticism, and she plays with a lot of versatility. She can handle the ball and initiate the offense, she is an outstanding shooter, plus she uses her length well to defend. As she continues to get stronger and absorb contact better, she'll only be more productive.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='486523' first='Ella' last='Williams'], 2026, 5-10 SG, Washington H.S.</font></strong><br>- I have seen Ella a few times, but by July it was the best I had seen her. She is an extremely long and wiry guard prospect who moves almost effortlessly in most directions. She can handle the ball in transition, she's a good perimeter shooter, plus she can make a dribble-move and get by a defender, gliding to the basket. She's another one who strength will only help her productivity, but she is already a good one.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='420275' first='Lexi' last='Primus'], 2026, 5-8 SG, North Knox H.S.</font></strong><br>- During the Winter, Lexi is somewhat hidden down in the Vincennes area, but she played a lot of grassroots basketball this Summer and stood out at times. She is a really nice athlete who should only get stronger. She has length and skill, plus she plays with versatility. She can act as a slashing scorer, but she also comes up with rebounds, and she's an effective on-ball defender. She is kind of a Swiss Army Knife.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='486495' first='Olivia' last='Jones'], 2026, 5-8 SG/SF, Pendleton Heights H.S.</font></strong><br>- I had seen Olivia a few times coming into the Summer, but it was seeing her with her high school team in June that caught my attention. She is a wiry-strong, fairly athletic wing who does a variety of things for the Arabians. She can handle the ball, push in transition, and initiate the offense. She can knock down open shots, plus she is a nice North/South driver. Additionally, she will defend multiple positions well.</p>
