Class 2026: Players to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Listed below are 5 players that are coming off strong sophomore seasons in 2023-2024. Expect each one of these players to have a more dominate roll in their programs as some seniors graduated last year. I also would expect the recruiting will pick up after next Live Period as they showcase thier game in July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574244"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666b1c0208cab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sharp shooting guard that can change a game in a hurry with her 3 point shot.

Izzy is a legit 6'3 forward that I believe is still flying under the radar. A 2026 that missed the circuit last year due to a knee injury. Izzy has fully recovered and is having a great summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On offense she has a great understanding of how to play in the pick n roll game. Good outside shooter that can stretch the floor with an outside shot.

The type of player as a coach you must have on the floor cause she makes things happen. On offense she moves well off the bal finding the open spots on the wing for a knock down 3. Impressive was her mid range game when driving to the rim. Nice footwork on the pull up jumper or step through getting to the rim. Defensively the kid you want guarding the other team's best player. At 5'10 she has the skill set and size to play 2-4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666b1c0208dec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">District Player of the Year earning second team honors as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443065"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666b1c0208e47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical guard that once she get her shoulders going down hill she will not be denied a chance to score.
