2026 Center Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tuesday, we released the Summer update for the Class of 2026 rankings. Circling back around, below is a quick look at the centers who were included in either the Top 100 or the 125-player watch list. Below that are any newcomers to the position group when we updated the list this time around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12120","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684f43d4b76c8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">NEWCOMERS</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761166"],"_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-684f43d4ba4d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taryn comes from a nice family lineage of <strong>Bryn Shoup-Hill</strong> (Illinois) and <strong>Kyra Hill</strong> (Ashland), as she tries to carve her own path to the next level. Taryn is strong, physical, and very assertive around the low block. She does a nice job of creating contact, holding her position, catching, and finishing at the basket. I also like her approach defensively, as she doesn't like to let anyone come down the middle of the floor to score easily.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1256480"],"_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-684f43d4ba56f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aubrey is one of those small college prospects who can create mismatches at the next level simply because of her size. She has broad shoulders and some strength, but she also possesses really nice length. She typically does a nice job of keeping the ball high, and she has learned how to shoot it over defenders, as well as rebound without fouling. As she continues to work on her lateral quickness and core strength, she could become a D3 nightmare.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["883672"],"_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-684f43d4ba5e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jade has made a really nice transformation from last Summer, to this Winter, to this Spring. She has always been strong, but now she looks overpowering, lighter on her feet, and she does a really nice job of not allowing taller, longer prospects to block her shot...her ability to create angle scores stands out. Additionally, she plays hard, battles for boards, and she does a solid job of coming out on the floor to sit down and defend ball screens/handoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
