2026 Sleeper Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 2026 class is full of quality players who have the ability to play at the next level. These girls can hoop and regional schools should keep a close eye on them as the summer ends and school starts up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161475"],"_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-6889836608846"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Turtle Mountain star is a scoring machine. She plays with a toughness and grit that any coach will appreciate. She is a smaller guard but is very physical and can battle defensively against bigger guards. She is a crafty player that can finish at the rim in many creative ways. She is a good outside shooter and will make lazy defenders pay with a sweet looking shot. Aubree is a great player and will be a good addition to a college roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1125219"],"_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-68898366088aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really like how Maycie plays. She, along with others in this article, might not get as much attention as they deserve due to how good of a team she plays on. She is a super solid point guard and an excellent defender. She moves really well and does a great job at stopping driving lanes. I like her basketball IQ and her decision making with the ball. She is a quality guard who can play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469462"],"_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-68898366088f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Grand Forks Central Knights have struggled to win games in recent memory, but have produced a handful of very high-quality players. Jacie falls into that category and will need to take over the role as top-dog on her team this coming season. She is a physical force and one of the best rebounders I have ever seen. She does a terrific job of pursuing long rebounds and rebounding with two hands. She continues to improve her offense and has become a solid finisher around the basket. She is a very good forward and I am excited to see how her senior year goes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1053416"],"_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-6889836608932"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minot is a program that is at the top of girls basketball in the state of North Dakota. They have multiple division 1 prospects, girls that can shoot and defend, and girls with competitive toughness. Eve found herself on the All-WDA team this season and would have even better statistics if she played on nearly every other team in the state. Eve is a very good guard who can shoot and defend. She has the size and athleticism to play college ball. Teams always need girls who play the way Eve does.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1212045"],"_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-6889836608971"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grand Forks Red River is always a state tournament caliber team due to players like Reese. She is a feisty guard who flies all over the court with passion and energy. She led the EDC in steals and assists last season and is lightning quick. She had a great role model growing up in NDSU player Jocelyn Schiller. Reese will find herself on the All-EDC team next season and will be even better than this previous year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["658263"],"_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-68898366089af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoe is a fantastic guard who has an edge over other players due to her mental toughness. She is a great golfer and I am a firm believer that golf helps athletes develop coping skills to overcome adversity. Zoe plays with a toughness on the court that is contagious. Another thing I have noticed about Zoe is how she gets better each year. This points to her commitment in the offseason and is exactly what college coaches expect out of their athletes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["641206"],"_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-68898366089ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Callen is a very good player and someone who will have her best season yet as a senior. She has continued to improve each season and I think she will thrive next season with more freedom to operate around the basket. She is a tough, strong, and physical 6' forward who isn't afraid of contact. She is exceptional at drawing fouls and is a very good free-throw shooter. Callen is the type of player who always sprints the floor and is good for a sneaky rim-run bucket or two per game. I think Callen will be critical to Sheyenne's success in 2025-2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056241"],"_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-6889836608a29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The talented forward on the Bottineau Stars will have her chance to run the show in 2025-2026 due to the graduation of stud teammate Kyra Beckman. Hallie has done an excellent job of playing "Robin" to Beckman's "Batman", but will do great as the main option next season. She is a strong post and possesses good size for a forward. She is a bucket, already eclipsing the 1000 point mark as a Junior. She would be great at a junior college or a lower division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629948"],"_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-6889836608a66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tameka has had an incredibly productive off-season. She has received multiple offers from regional junior colleges, a level I think she will thrive at. She continues to improve each season and has a high ceiling as an athlete due to her length and athleticism. I think playing a year or two at a JUCO will set her up for future scholarships at 4 year schools. Tameka will be critical at helping Fargo South to their best season in recent memory in 2025-2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
