Last 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 power forwards and posts 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.

NEWCOMERS:
Haileigh Allen
Haileigh
Allen
6'0" | PF
Randolph Southern | 2026
IN
, 2026, 6-0 PF, Randolph Southern H.S.
– Haileigh made quite the splash last season as a Freshman, as she finished third in scoring (11.2 ppg), and second in rebounding (5.7 rpg) for Randolph Southern. She is extremely long and wiry, and while she will need to get stronger, she has some shooting touch and solid ball skill.
Sophie Hart
Sophie
Hart
5'11" | PF
Crown Point | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-11 PF, Crown Point H.S.
– With a lack of much size in the program, Sophie could find herself earning key Varsity minutes as a Sophomore. She has a fairly strong frame, solid all-around athleticism, length, and she plays with a motor. She will battle inside for boards, but she can score it in the mid-post as well.
Taryn Hill

– Taryn is the younger sister of Brynn Shoup-Hill (University of Illinois) and

(2024). Taryn is a strong, physical, low-block post right now. She’s willing to be physical and impose her will down low, plus she works hard at both ends of the floor. I’ll be curious to see how much she grows.
Kendall Kaiser
Kendall
Kaiser
5'11" | PF
Evansville F.J. Reitz | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-11 PF/C, Evansville F.J. Reitz H.S.
– When I saw Kendall at the end of July, I felt like she has improved quite a bit in the last 12 months. She is long, fluidly athletic, and she runs the floor well. She is absorbing contact and finishing better around the rim, but she also has some skill facing the basket. She’s very active at both ends.
Anna Sachire
Anna
Sachire
6'1" | PF
Penn | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-0 PF/SF, Penn H.S.
– Anna is another prospect who should benefit because of her program’s lack of size. She has tremendous length, a wiry-strong frame, and she moves well in most directions. She will need to get stronger, but she plays mostly in the mid-post and around the perimeter facing the basket.
Rachel Suttmann
Rachel
Suttmann
6'0" | PF
Oldenburg Academy | 2026
IN
, 2026, 6-0 C, Oldenburg Academy
– Rachel is a long, wiry, but versatile frontline player. She moves around the floor fairly well in most directions, she plays with a nice motor, and she will rim-run with effort. As she continues to get stronger and stretch her game away from the rim, she could be a matchup problem.
Makayla Triplett
Makayla
Triplett
5'11" | PF
Fishers | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-11 PF, Fishers H.S.
– Makayla is the younger sister of Walsh University Freshman Alycia Triplett. Makayla is very long, wiry-strong, fluidly athletic, and even somewhat bouncy. She makes plays with her athleticism right now, but as she continues building her skillset, she should be highly productive inside and out.
Savannah Walker
Savannah
Walker
6'2" | C
Homestead | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-1 C, Homestead H.S.
– “Savy” popped up on my radar in early July, and she has a great deal of upside. She is extremely long, fluidly athletic, and bouncy. She has some touch/face-up skill in the mid-post, but she can also play above defenders and finish at the basket. Strength will really help her moving forward.

SUMMER/FALL STOCK-RISERS:
C.C. Quigley
C.C.
Quigley
6'3" | C
Noblesville | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-2 PF/C, Noblesville H.S.
– C.C. has been on an upward trajectory for quite some time now. The player she was at our Freshman Showcase last Fall is just a shell of what she is now. She has gotten stronger and much more confident. She was a key sub for Noblesville down the stretch during the 2022-2023 season, and she continued that strong play throughout the Spring & Summer grassroots season. She is skilled, athletic, and likely still growing.
Komari Booker
Komari
Booker
5'11" | PF
Pike | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-11 PF, Pike H.S.
– Komari’s stock is rising simply because of people becoming more familiar with her. She is a really nice athlete with length, an athletic frame, and a nice toughness to her game. She is more of a rebounder and defender right now, but she has shown some touch from about 17-feet, and I think she can develop into a nice face-up ‘4’ around the perimeter with more work. She plays with a nice motor, and she backs down from no one.
D’Aaliyah Kemp
D’Aaliyah
Kemp
6'2" | PF
Park Tudor | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-2 PF, Park Tudor H.S.
– D’Aaliyah is an extremely long and wiry kid, with fluidity and the potential to grow another inch or two. She was at North Central as a Freshman but is now at Park Tudor. She is not a post, she prefers to face the basket, and she is great in the mid-post but can also occasionally knock down an open rhythm 3-pointer. She needs strength, but I like how she tries to play physical and be assertive inside the paint. She has real upside.
Gabby Helsom
Gabby
Helsom
5'11" | PF
Homestead | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-11 SF/PF, Homestead H.S.
– Gabby put together a highly productive Spring & Summer grassroots season. She has broad shoulders, some length, nice strength to her frame, and she’s willing to be physical inside, plus she can flash some skill outside. She has really nice touch in the mid-post, and she can occasionally extend that to 3-point range. She will battle on the boards, and she can defend the paint inside or wings on the ball outside.
