2026 Rankings: The Stock Risers

She's long and athletic, and scores off the dribble and around the basket but her jumper is creating some problems, as well as her<strong> DEFENSE</strong>, and seeing her post <strong>"I bet on myself" JUST DID IT</strong> for me</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510472"],"_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-675ad316ee87b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pete also moves into the <strong>Top 10</strong> from <strong>#13 to #8</strong> after seeing her in the <strong>Conroe Lady Tiger Classic</strong>. Since I don't see a lot of these players over the club season with countless platforms and locations I'm not at, it was great to see how much her game has grown and the poise she shows on the court <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jordan-pete/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486456"],"_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-675ad316ee8c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jamari rhymes with Atari yet she's also taken her game to a different level. I often have mentioned she was one of the most powerful guards in Texas yet watching her performance at the <strong>Texas Invitational </strong>has her jumping 6 spots up to #9 <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jamari-milton/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> She did a good job facilitating and setting her teammates up for gimmes yet she also flipped the switch to score however and whenever she wanted</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["597323"],"_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-675ad316ee90b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has turned several corners moving up to <strong>#35 from #44</strong> and her maturity, aka "on the court" progression stood out. She falls into the "doesn't know how good she is" group yet watching her understanding how to take games over was very nice for me because I already know what's there. I expect another huge jump after her <strong>Peggy Whitley Classic</strong> performance <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kobe-johnson/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486421"],"_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-675ad316ee958"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is one of the toughest guards in her class, on both ends, pound for pound, inch for inch, and catching up with her at the<strong> Texas Jamboree</strong> elevated her from<strong> #54 to #47</strong> <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/brittney-anderson/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855744"],"_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-675ad316ee99d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dickson was another standout I caught at the <strong>Texas Invitational</strong> and catching up with her on the final day of the event via <strong>LIVESTREAM </strong>has her jumping <strong>18 spots to #50<em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mariyah-dickson/"> see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890958"],"_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-675ad316ee9e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blount has elevated her high school team's chances of going deep in a wide-open Region 3 in the 6A classification. She moves up<strong> 6 spots to #61</strong> and her ability to change the momentum, from either end, has been a joy each time I've caught her this season<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/samyra-blount/"> see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[939061],"_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-675ad316eea25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hill also has continued to show she is hard to handle and her "speed with the ball" plays a part in it because she can blow by defenders in both the set as well as in transition as well as showing a very nice "stop and pop" jumper. On the flip, she applies "on the ball" heat baseline to baseline <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jazlyn-hill-2/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong>as she jumps from <strong>#73 to #65</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2025-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2026-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here to view the updated 2026 Texas Rankings!</em></strong></a></em></strong></a></h4> <!-- /wp:heading -->
