2026 Rankings: Underrated Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the PrepGirlsHoops team finishing the 2026 class for the rankings update, I am taking a look into the class to see which players are a bit underrated and college coaches still should be watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1138311"],"_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-67881d868d358"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace stepped into a bigger role both on the court and off the court, being a valuable leader for this Nooksack team. She has thrived this season, being a focal point of the offense and doing whatever she can to help her team get the win. She plays gritty and scrappy, always going 100% on every possession. De Hoog has a soft touch around the rim and elite footwork down low. She has already had multiple 15+ rebound games, even having a game with 20+. I wouldn't be surprised if Nooksack makes another solid run in 1A. </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-67881d868d3b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryah is a lefty guard/wing who moves without the ball very well. She gets open easy and can sink shots from anywhere on the court. Her quick release helps defenders not be ready for when she's letting it fly. She can put the ball on the court too, having a versatile offensive game. Around the rim she finishes at a high percentage, not being afraid to go right at contact to get the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584240"],"_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-67881d868d3f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ella has been stepping up for the Lyncs for the past couple seasons and continues to grow her game in big ways. She is becoming a well rounded offensive player who can drop 20+ points with ease but also can adjust to what her team needs and become a more pass first player if that will elevate all her teammates games. Fritts shoots the ball lights out and can shoot efficiently off the catch or off the dribble. Her dynamic offensive game paired with her elite speed and agility equal the key assets to a well rounded player, she will start to gather big time college looks soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["753739"],"_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-67881d868d437"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liliana is a dynamic, crafty guard who has a very, very high basketball IQ. She gets her teammates involved every game, being a pass first player who can score if her team needs. She knows her spots on the court and uses her plethora of moves to get there and find her buckets. Defensively she moves her feet quickly and is always vocal, being a leader for her squad. Her deep shot has been looking more consistent, which just shows that she has been making her game more well rounded in all aspects. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
