Class of 2026 Rankings Update: Rising Seniors to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rising senior class in Wisconsin is a talented group that will have talent land at every level of college basketball. We've highlighted a handful of kids in this class with the articles for the Top Ten, the biggest stock risers, and the new faces in the class. Today, we'll highlight some names who remain uncommitted and potentially under-the-radar players I think could contribute at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='842235' first='Mallory' last='Glysch']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glysch's time at Muskego has been an intriguing one to follow. She started her career playing JV, and by the end of her junior season, she had become an integral part of a team that played in the State Title Game. Glysch was always an excellent perimeter shooter, but she also improved as a defender and was a player who could fit into the Warriors' 1-3-1 zone, which helped them make their run last season. She contributes to winning basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='842229' first='Ella' last='Verbeten']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wrightstown guard has been a productive defender since her first practice. She's been a solid defender this summer when I've seen her with her [program_tooltip program_id='713127' first='Wisconsin' last='Legends'] group. However, Verbeten has improved her offensive game and become a more consistent shooter and finisher over the last few seasons. She'll draw attention because of her defense, and still find ways to complete her game on that end of the court, and could be a steal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533086' first='Kylie' last='Pieper']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pewaukee guard missed most of her junior season because of a knee injury she suffered in April of 2024. Pieper's played with talented players in high school and AAU, so she hasn't always been the standout. She has played her role everywhere she's been, and for a while, I thought that was all she was, until her Pewaukee team hosted Homestead in her sophomore season. Pieper took over that game offensively in the 2nd half and helped turn a six-point deficit at halftime into a 14-point win. That half of basketball gave me a glimpse of what she can be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1045830' first='Raya' last='Shaw']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eau Claire native is an excellent athlete who can defend at a high level. Her speed and lateral quickness set a tone at the point of attack. Shaw has been a prominent piece of the Old Abes' rotation and has been a solid creator on the offensive end in her first three seasons. Anyone who needs a defensive guard should take the time to watch what Shaw can do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
