<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 Player Rankings have undergone a big update. Here are some players who moved up in the rankings from their previous spots:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["439459"],"_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-67dc77f20368d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's not easy to move up in the rankings when you are already in the Top 15 of the state, but Ashley has done just that after scoring 16.5 ppg this season. She arguably has the best frame in the class, and is (and should be) a massive target for college coaches at every level. Ashley is a three-level scorer that can put up points in a hurry with her shooting ability, size and strength to get to the rim, and clean pull-up jumper with a high release. Her bag and her handles are ever-evolving, so I have no doubt she can climb these rankings even more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216440"],"_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-67dc77f20370e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kailani has moved up double-digits spots in the rankings and cracked the top 20 now. You can't deny her length and ability. She continues to improve her body control &amp; has a versatile game with her height. KK can put it on the deck and get to the rim, block shots and get in passing lanes using her length and anticipation, and also corral rebounds with that size. When healthy, she's in the top percentile of this class without a doubt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["752545"],"_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-67dc77f203772"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jamila is one of the bigger stock-risers in this class as she's up nearly 20 spots and into the Top 25. She is a quick, athletic hooper that excels in transition with her length and speed. Her jumper continues to improve and she's very hard to stop when going downhill with her right hand. Jamila is a high motor kid that works hard on the defensive end and on the boards as well. She has so much versatility in her game. There's definitely still more potential here, for sure!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249395"],"_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-67dc77f2037d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jazlyn has moved up into the Top 30 after an impressive Junior season. She is one of the leaders on a young HS team, and she absolutely makes those around her better. Her ability to hit the deep ball, knock down a pull-up jumper, and use the bounce to get to the rim makes her one of the best three-level scorers in her class. She's very versatile with her size &amp; has massive upside at the next level!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892014"],"_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-67dc77f20382f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelsey has moved up the rankings after being a primary leader and contributor on her high school team. She's so quick and an absolute pest on defense with her ability to read the offense and get in every passing lane. Those steals lead to a lot of easy transition points for her and her teammates. Her quick first step and shiftiness with the ball in her hands make her very hard to contain, but you can't sag off of her or she'll knock down the 3 ball in your eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514636"],"_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-67dc77f20388b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">J'yan is up double-digit spots after a quality HS season as one of the best post prospects in the 2026 class. She's long and active on the defensive end and is a double-double threat any time she touches the court. JT averaged 11.1 ppg &amp; 8.4 rpg on a 22-win team with good, young guard play. Her size and athleticism give her a high ceiling with her potential being through the roof.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["470395"],"_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-67dc77f2038e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isyss jumps nearly 20 spots and slots herself into the Top 75 of the entire state. Her size and frame make her very versatile and a tough matchup for opponents. She averaged 8 points &amp; 6.8 rebounds per game on one of the best teams in South Florida. She's strong, physical, and has nice footwork around the rim. With her being a bit of a tweener, if her outside shot continues to improve - she will even more of a force!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
