<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The October update to the 2026 rankings is complete, and even with all of the stock risers and new additions, we still have some sleepers lurking. Check out this list of players to keep an eye on this season who are all in line to have big junior years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["587257"],"_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-6716e5c4e741a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Galbreath is a smooth guard who reads defenses at a high level, shows an ability to manipulate defenders with the dribble, and set up her drives or open up passing lanes. She's a solid decision-maker who can finish with either hand at the cup, scores efficiently from behind the arc, and can really be an engine on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759433"],"_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-6716e5c4e74b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stanley is a pure shooter who lets it fly from deep without hesitation. She showed that stroke off at the PGH Expo but was also a key offensive threat for Toledo during her sophomore season. Aside from being a knockdown shooter, she plays with great energy on the defensive end, has active hands, and does a great job attacking the ball. She'll be a leader at Toledo this season as the second-oldest returner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928029"],"_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-6716e5c4e750e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skogstad's a speedy, crafty point guard who shows good change of speeds and awareness to get defenders off balance and exploit gaps. She can really be a driver for their offense, getting to the middle, drawing fouls, and shifting defenses with her speed. She shoots righty but she has a strong left-handed dribble and should lead the Vikings to another strong season this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["588146"],"_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-6716e5c4e75c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's a strong post who's shown she can attack from different spots, putting the ball on the floor and using solid footwork to get depth and attack the basket. Has a good stroke too, knocking down shots at the line at a good rate, and though she plays a lot around the rim she does have the potential to stretch further out and sink some shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["753697"],"_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-671831a0a2a03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson's a strong post who displays good poise and strength down low to get the edge on her defender with drop steps and finish through contact. She's good playing against man or zone, and in the zone, does a great job staying active to find room in congested spaces and make herself available for entries inside. She's also a strong rebounder who combines aggression, positioning, and strength to attack the glass on both ends. She was the leading scorer (13.5) and rebounder (7.6) on last year's team and should put in another solid season this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
