<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 Player Rankings have undergone their June Update with players moving up, moving down, staying put, or new names being added. Our team has spent countless hours in the gym since the last update to make these as accurate as possible with evaluating the potential of these players. Here are some names below who have impressed and improved their rankings in the past few months with the Top 40 of the 2026 Class in the Sunshine State:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["515106"],"_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-685330d30217a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lovely has amazing size and a frame that is college-ready. Her strength allows her to move people around on either side of the ball, and she has nice touch on the offensive end with soft hands. When it comes to her back to the basket moves, she can feel the defender on her back and loves to finish over her left shoulder with her size that makes her so recruitable. She has received offers from UMBC, Radford, Bethune-Cookman, and Hampton since the last rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722918"],"_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-685330d3021ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kasey continues to be a name that a lot of coaches ask me about between Live at Lakepoint and the most recent Academic Showcase. Her length, athleticism, size, and skill make her one of the most versatile players in the state. I really am impressed with her ability to quickly elevate over an opposing player for a bucket or even elevate for a block on the defensive end. She has received offers from Tennessee Tech and Radford since the last rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1214946"],"_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-685330d30225e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dessy is one of the smoothest and smartest guards in her class. Her ability to handle the rock, shoot it, and make smart passes have really turned heads this spring. She has received offers from Austin Peay, UAB, and Jacksonville State since the last player rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207160"],"_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-685330d3022cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nalah is a true rim protector that stands at 6'2 with a long frame which is very rare and highly sought after. Her hustle and excellent job of crashing the glass on both ends is exactly what you want in a mobile post that can run the floor. As she continues to perfect her craft of finishing at the rim and extending her game, she will continue to rise in these rankings. She has received offers from Flagler, Stony Brook, Western Carolina, Mississippi Valley State, and Yale since the last rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376363"],"_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-685330d302335"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Asia has the opportunity to play against the best competition year-round between IMG and the EYBL circuit, so it's not surprise that her game continues to improve. Offensively, she can score it from all three levels but she really excels as a true PG. Asia is able to see the floor so well, facilitate with the dribble, and get her teammates involved with easy buckets. She holds offers from Coppin State, Virginia State, Howard, Hampton, Norfolk State, and Old Dominion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514604"],"_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-685330d3023a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma really impressed me in Rock Hill during the April live period. Her ability to play within herself and really shine as a true PG that also prides herself defensively is rare these days. Emma was locking folks up for the length of the court in the arena in South Carolina. Her court vision, unselfishness, and willingness to create for her team is high-level. She's a high academic kid that will commit to a school that caters to her desire to succeed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1035064"],"_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-685330d30240d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanae is a kid that has been somewhat under the radar in my opinion, but feels like people are starting to recognize her skill more. Her height, length, and soft hands/touch around the rim are solid for what you're looking for in a true post. She picked up an offer from Seton Hall after the April live period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
