2026 Ranking Highlights - Players 6-10

As we look at the next five players in Utah's 2026 class rankings, the competition remains fierce — and the talent level keeps rising. Several of these girls have already made their college commitments, securing their spots at the next level, while others are still weighing their options with multiple programs showing interest. Each player brings a distinct style of play and a unique set of strengths — from dominant post presence to elite-level shooting and leadership.    Olivia, a UVU commit, is a quick and agile guard who can create her own shot under pressure and knock it down from anywhere on the floor. Her release is smooth and confident, even when tightly defended. This season at Alta, she'll form a dangerous trio alongside [player_tooltip player_id='796802' first='Alia' last='Baldassano'] and [player_tooltip player_id='796804' first='Quincy' last='Kegel'] — a combination of speed, shooting, and defensive grit that will be difficult for any opponent to contain.     Rachel is another tall presence in the top ten, coming off a breakout year where she racked up over 240 points in her first true varsity spotlight season. She's developing into a strong two-way player — a dependable shot-stopper on defense and a growing scoring threat inside. Her timing around the rim and touch continue to elevate her game. As she builds more strength and confidence, Rachel's ceiling will rise even higher, positioning her as a future asset for larger programs looking for size, defense, and potential.     Sophie has been the steady leader for Brighton over the past few years, running alongside the number six player in our rankings. She led the team in every major statistical category except blocks, proving just how complete her game is. She's fearless when attacking the rim, thrives through contact, and is automatic when the ball is in her hands. While she hasn't officially announced her college commitment yet, expect her to stay close to home.     Kenadie, who recently committed to Seton Hall, brings a mix of finesse, control, and athleticism that reflects her background as a two-sport athlete. She's a reliable presence in the paint, consistently pulling down boards and finishing strong around the rim. Her poise under pressure and natural feel for the game make her a steady offensive option, while her versatility allows her to impact both ends of the floor. Uintah will lean heavily on her leadership and production this season as one of the driving forces anchoring their lineup.     Lave's strongest impact continues to be inside, where she dominates the boards and controls the glass on both ends. Her rebounding instincts and physical presence give Lone Peak a reliable interior anchor. Over the summer, she's made noticeable strides in expanding her offensive game, showing more confidence in finishing through contact and developing a mid-range touch. If she continues to build on that growth, Lave could become a more complete player and add another key dimension to an already loaded Lone Peak roster.
