June Rankings Update: 2026 Lead Guard Prospects

As session one of the spring Grassroots season comes to an end, we look to update our rankings for each class in preparation for the summer high school season and the second session of Grassroots basketball. There were many prospects who demonstrated a progression in their game during the high school season and added an exclamation point with a strong Grassroots session this spring. These are the 2026 point guard prospects who climbed our rankings with notable performances and progress during our evaluations.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/michigan-rankings-explained/">Rankings Process Explained</a>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Risers</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='614713' first='Cece' last='Bonner']-5-6-Muskegon-[program_tooltip program_id='713442' first='MBA' last='UAA']   Cece is a special lead guard prospect with unique athleticism, physical strength, tight ball-handling, accuracy shooting off the dribble, excellent passing vision, and lockdown on-ball defense. Her shifty quickness and ability to beat defenders with explosive steps off the bounce have impressed our scouts and college coaches, including D1 offers, all spring. During the evaluation process, Cece has proven to be physically stronger, quicker, and more athletic than other point guards in the state and we believe she has the highest ceiling. Cece has proven herself with a strong high school campaign and an exceptional spring against elite guards to be Michigan's top-ranked point guard.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/05/mba-2026-all-tourney-team/">Read more about Cece</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='613942' first='Mariah' last='Cross']-5-3-Wayne Memorial-[program_tooltip program_id='712354' first='1' last='Nation'] Elite   Mariah is a quick point guard prospect who has made a great impression not only on our scouts in Michigan but PGH scouts across the country! She is a lockdown defender on defense who forces steals and turnovers. Mariah sees the floor extremely well and fires the ball to open teammates on a rope. She buries triples off the catch and the bounce, while using a variety of combo-dribbles to beat defenders to the rim. Her athleticism to elevate and impact the game on both ends, combined with her toughness and hard work makes her a top lead guard prospect in the state. Mariah has earned a D1 offer from Iona and is on pace to earn more.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/02/the-nubian-classic-standouts-part-1/">Read more about Mariah</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='502308' first='Lexi' last='Raska']-5-11-Grand Ledge-Mystics-S40   Lexi towers over other guards at her height and her combination of fundamental point guard abilities is what gave us the confidence to move her ranking into the top tier. She has great handles and vision to distribute the ball to open teammates, but will rip the nets with her high-arcing 3-point shot off the catch or the bounce. It's simple math, she has 5'11 length to dwarf defenders and then adds a variety of combo moves to attack and finish in the paint or create space for a pull-up jumper. Lexi has the frame and the fundamental skills to develop into a highly recruited point guard prospect at the next level.   <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yZ_MDJMHa0">Watch Lexi Play</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='666667' first='Makayla' last='Schlorf']-5-3-Tecumseh-[program_tooltip program_id='713024' first='Michigan' last='Drive Premier']-S40   Makayla has one of the greatest work ethics and passion for basketball in the state; she has shown that to our scouts for over a year now and earned high marks across the board. In the past year, she has continued to develop herself through strength training into a point guard who physically looks ready to contribute at the next level. Her 3-point range (distance) and efficiency (makes per attempt) as a shooter have seen clear progress. Makayla locked down elite scorers in the 2024 HS playoffs to help Tecumseh make a deep run and upset elite teams, she communicates on defense, competes with toughness, and has the ball-handling with a burst to beat defenders off the dribble. Makayla has impressed me as a coach and a scout since I first saw her play last August at David Barns; there is no doubt in my mind that she has earned recognition as one of our best point guard prospects. She shows such passion and love for basketball that any college coach would benefit from having in their program.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/the-clash-2026-prospects-pt-2/">Read more about Makayla</a>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Additions</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='919220' first='Sophia' last='Prins']-5-6-South Christian-[program_tooltip program_id='713442' first='MBA' last='UAA']   Sophia has been a dominant point guard all spring and etched herself as one of the best lead guards in Michigan. She has impressed our staff during the evaluation process by proving herself as a consistent top performer against elite guards and with her complete game. Sophia works hard on both sides of the ball and turns steals into transition buckets. She knocks down 3s off the bounce or the catch and has great vision on her drives to the basket. Sophia has the combo dribbles and footwork to finish in traffic and delivers the ball to teammates with accuracy and makes smart reads. Sophia is physically strong and has demonstrated elite abilities offensively and defensively with consistency that gave us the confidence to put her with the best point guard prospects in Michigan.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/05/mba-2026-all-tourney-team/">Read more about Sophia</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='924015' first='Reegan' last='Helderop']-5-6-Hopkins-[program_tooltip program_id='716121' first='West' last='Michigan Crush']   Reegan has been playing up against 2025 prospects this spring and proven herself as an impact player on both sides of the ball. She has impressed us as an outstanding defender with great passing vision and an effective downhill game off the dribble. Reegan competes with an unlimited supply of energy on defense and creates turnovers with her outstanding ball pressure. She finishes full speed drives to the rim with both hands and extends her range to drill shots beyond the arc. Reegan communicates on defense and establishes a standard of toughness for her team. Reegan is a prospect we are excited to rank and continue to watch moving forward.   <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/west-michigan-crush-17u-at-the-clash/">Read more about Reegan</a>
