<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The class of 2026 rankings were updated this week where we saw plenty of new names to chat about.  We also saw some changes in the rankings with athletes raising their stocks over the past several months with what they have been able to do on the court.  Let's take a look at some of these stock risers in the Charlotte area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

well with her [program_tooltip program_id='713552' first='1' last='of 1'] team over the past year, and she's continuing to have a strong travel season with [program_tooltip program_id='713558' first='Lady' last='Attack Elite'].  She's a strong presence inside the paint being able to rebound well on both ends and block shots on defense protecting the basket.  She uses a wide stance to seal off her opponents making it easier for her teammates to hit her with an entry pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

take advantage of every opportunity she gets.  She reads the floor well being able to use screens effectively, and she's even quick off the pass knowing exactly how she wants to move to get the open look.  She has a nice shot from deep, and she doesn't need the open look to make it.  She crashes the boards on both ends getting after rebounds making sure to take advantage of offensive boards.</p>

showing that she's a great shooter being able to put up her shot off a quick release whether she is shooting off a half court set or she is hitting it in transition.  She can handle the ball well with speed pushing the tempo for her team, and she understands the right pace for her team as she can certainly pull back waiting for a play to develop.  She can anticipate passes well on the other end grabbing steals to take the other direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

motor that never seems to turn off.  She can really push the tempo for her team whether she is running up the court on solo fast breaks, or she's flashing in an open lane getting lost by her defender as she catches the pass to score in transition.  She sees the floor well being able to hit her teammates with sharp passes, and she can definitely knock down her shot from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph
