Spring Rankings Update: 2026 Combo Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>March is here, which means it's time for the latest quarterly rankings update. With regard to the Class of 2026, this group will now be viewed under a microscope as they move to the forefront as prospects. Below is a look at the top Combo Guards in the state, with a handful of standouts and newcomers highlighted below that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12121","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e7d36268567"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">CGs OF NOTE:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1131916' first='Precious' last='Anuka'], 2026, 5-6 CG, Cathedral H.S. - Precious is somewhat of an unfamiliar name to most people "in the know", unless you've seen Cathedral play. She has not played sustained grassroots ball while in high school, because she has dealt with injuries, so it will be fun this Spring to finally see her in person. She is a really nice athlete with speed &amp; quickness, she plays with a nice motor, and she can sit down and defend. As her offensive skillset continues to develop, she'll be that much more effective.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='686307' first='Alexis' last='Neely'], 2026, 5-7 CG, Warsaw Community H.S. - While the talented Lady Tigers had three Division I prospects in their lineup, Alexis stood out at times because she brought the energy. She plays fast in transition, she attacks the rim aggressively, and she rebounds &amp; defends about as well as most guards in the 2026 class. Alexis has a strong, athletic frame, and she's a bit bouncy as well. Skillfully, she can shoot it a little, and during the Spring &amp; Summer she will show her ball skill and play more of a PG role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='567133' first='Brynn' last='Owens'], 2026, 5-7 CG, Austin H.S. - Brynn has always had the reputation of being a dangerous perimeter shooter, and this Winter she was very good at making shots and putting up big scoring numbers. However, what I saw a couple of weeks ago at the Shamrock Classic is important to her recruiting, and that's the fact she was able to play more of a point guard role, handle the ball against pressure, and absorb contact better. That versatility will go a long way in college coaches' eyes this Spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='486492' first='Ailie' last='Taylor'], 2026, 5-5 CG, Princeton Community H.S. - Ailie is a really nice small college prospect who is a little under the radar because of her location. But if schools make an effort to get out and see her this Spring, I think they'll be pleasantly surprised. She is strong, compact, and takes care of the ball. She can attack the basket North/South, but she's also a willing &amp; capable passer. She also has some touch outside and plays hard. Defensively, she is tough, physical on the perimeter, and she'll rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
