Six Players Make Big Jumps in 2026 Rankings

The June 2026 class rankings update saw six prospects make significant moves up the ranks from the March update. The movement reflects not just growth in the players' games but also how much more growth is expected to come as college basketball prospects. Enjoy this look short list arranged in rank order.   [player_tooltip player_id='544984' first='Avery' last='McCorry'], 5'10", SF, Bishop Carroll - Movement within the class of 2026's top 20 is difficult to make given the talent level composing it. McCorry's seven spot rise to #13 should not be taken lightly. In all of the 2024 season's post-season honors dished out McCorry is one of the most unappreciated talents in the state. Left off every all-state team, making just the Greater Wichita Area League's honorable mention list, She diverse talent being recruited in multiple sports. McCorry has handles and scoring ability to play on the wing, passing ability to sport play at point and length and smarts enough to spot play at power forward. She is a matchup nightmare for most opponents because she handles well at speed, uses her handles to create space, is quick with good ball fakes to create scoring and passing opportunities off the bounce, shoots the three ball consistently and plays both ends of the floor with energy. On a deep and talented Eagles roster she was the team's best pure scorer when opponents slowed down their bread and butter transition game and did so at all three levels.   [player_tooltip player_id='881001' first='Jakayla' last='Davis'], 5'6", PG, St. Mary's-Colgan - This summer I finally got the opportunity to see Davis play in person. Her 48 spot rocket up to #33 reflects that not only is she the top 2A point guard in the class by a wide margin but is also one of the best at the position overall. Her value to a Panthers team that has lost only 4 games in her two first two seasons of high school ball has been immense and been recognized. Following the 2024 season she made the Crawford-Neosho-Cherokee League first team (2023 second team), KBCA second team and KSHSAA's and Sports In Kansas' honorable mention lists. She has terrific speed and control working in transition, quick hands, and athletic scoring ability. I am in complete agreement with what PGH Nebraska scout Jeremy Brooks has said about her. In naming her to the 2024 PGH KC Clash 16U/17U first team he considered her the real deal. A well rounded talent and a smooth operator with the ball in her hands offensively. Davis, he wrote, "...can score from all three levels in the blink of an eye, she is selfless in her play-style, and she works relentlessly on both sides of the basketball." Brooks stated that she "produces no matter the situation" and that if she continues to play like this in the future he will be intrigued as to where she ends up competing collegiately.   [player_tooltip player_id='621243' first='Quinacy' last='Galbert'], 5'5", PG, The Independent School - The Panther point guard is having a strong summer. She has been strong in polishing her game with the Dynasty club program. Having watched her at Wichita Southeast (GWAL HM) before joining 2A state champ Independent for her 2024 season. I have seen consistencies in her game: speed with the ball; quickness; and terrific perimeter shooting ability. The solidly built Galbert has grown into a quick-handed point guard gets downhill in a hurry, finishes and scores in the mid-range using a variety of shots with either hand and disrupts defensively. She has shown 30' jump shooting ability too. As her consistency as a finisher, free thrown shooting and shot selection improve Galbert will become that much more dangerous as a scorer. A shifty, very quick and dangerous talent to watch for the defending 2A state champions. Her 30 spot climb to #66 is for real.   [player_tooltip player_id='634243' first='Arika' last='Feldman'], 6'1", SF, Little River - Feldman has been rising through the rankings over the past year almost as fast as she has grown. And in her short time playing high school ball she has added several inches and gone from an end of bencher varsity player to the best forward on the team. Not only does her selection to the Wheat State League first team reflect that but she picked up 1A Division I KSHSAA second team, KBCA third team and Sports In Kansas Honorable Mention honors. Feldman has caught the eye of PGH scouts from Texas to Nebraska over the past calendar year with her versatility, size, perimeter shooting, finishing through contact with either hand, scoring challenged jumpers and IQ. A recent PGH Battle In The Big Friendly all-16U tournament first team selection, Nebraska's Jeremy Brooks called the lefty a mismatch nightmare in the open court with a complete game on both sides. She is "...also standing out as a rebounder and top-notch communicator." She flat directs coverage on the defensive end. The top prospect in the classification in her class, Feldman climbed 24 spots to #67.   [player_tooltip player_id='649150' first='Amelia' last='Bootsma'], 6'2", C, The Independent School - One of the best and most unknown bigs in the class is the Panther's Bootsma. Playing for Dynasty club team she is beginning to generate attention. She has been biding her time at Independent, unable to play due to her previous high school's interference, and is expected to make an immediate impact for the defending 2A state champs. With great length, legitimate size, continuously growing athleticism, and solid transition speed she plays hard and is competitive on both ends. She competes on the boards, is unafraid of contact, and is only tapping her potential offensively. She was well noticed by college coaches at the recent MAYB Summer Kickoff. She advanced 34 spots to #78.   [player_tooltip player_id='650612' first='Molly' last='Numrich'], 5'3", SG, Blue Valley Northwest - Numrich is a rising shooting guard that climbed 32 spots to #83. That despite struggling for playing time on a deep roster that has graduated D II and D I recruits among others. A high motor, very quick and fast with the ball prospect Numrich wastes little movement on her jumpers. She is also laterally quick and disruptive defending the ball in the full and half courts. PGH Nebraska's Jeremy Brooks commented, while seeing her at May's KC Clash, she "...get's downhill in a heartbeat. Works hard on and off of the ball, never taking plays off on either side of the floor. A prospect that leaves it all out on the floor. Just by watching her for five minutes you can tell that she works relentlessly to become better and give it her all when she is out there. All while being a solid in the skill-department of the game.” Expect Numrich to seize her playing time opportunity this high school season and emerge as one of the Huskies' top guards.
