Class of 2026: Names to Know

To close out the weekend, I'd like to highlight a few rising seniors who haven't committed yet following the conclusion of the AAU season. There are a handful of players who could be impactful at the next level who are still available. There are also a few players who are flying under the radar for various reasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='533082' first='Libby' last='Gilmore']   Gilmore is coming off a knee injury that robbed her of her junior season at Arrowhead. However, the last time we saw her play significant minutes in a Warhawk uniform, Gilmore was an integral piece of a unit that won a Division 1 State Title in 2023. Gilmore may not be a player who scores 20 points every time she steps onto the floor, but she does everything else that helps her team win games. She's a glue player who has shown flashes of what she can do on the offensive end, if she's in a place where she gets a bit of a leash to express herself on that end.   [player_tooltip player_id='509699' first='Graycin' last='Phillips']   The 6'1 forward from Waunakee has been a player who battled injuries early in her high school career. However, Phillips excelled in her junior season. The Warrior was an excellent floor spacer who knocked down perimeter shots as a solid clip, and helped her team compete in games they otherwise wouldn't have if she weren't on the floor. She also has the length that can help her defend around the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='766594' first='Audrey' last='Sellinger']   Sellinger is a player who makes everything around her make more sense. She's a high-IQ player who can do a little of everything, depending on the personnel around her. The Wauwatosa native can play in the paint and score over either shoulder. However, Sellinger also has the tools to attack off the dribble, shoot from the perimeter, cut, and make passes into small windows. She's a Swiss Army knife.   [player_tooltip player_id='624965' first='Claudia' last='Asman']   The Kimberly forward played her best basketball to end her AAU career. Asman looked confident with the ball in her hands and used her length to make plays on the defensive end of the floor. I was impressed by what she did starting at the end of May, and it felt like she turned a corner. Now, due to injuries in the Papermakers frontcourt, Asman has the potential to be an impactful player in her senior season in red and white, and I'm eager to see how she handles it.
