2026 Rankings Update as New Faces emerge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I added over 20 players, and I'll probably be dropping another 20 plus on my final update coming in March as I close out the class, but here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1359160"],"_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-696777fc35889"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robbins is a smooth guard who not only can create her shot under pressure but also knock it down in clutch situations. Her<strong> "poise under pressure" </strong>caught my eye a few years ago, yet seeing her being able to score <strong>"in the flow" </strong>as well as make good decisions while seeing the floor has been nice. She scores off the dribble and also does a good job defensively</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303384"],"_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-696777fc35904"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper is<strong> "long and athletic"</strong> which is the base, and seeing her<strong> "on the court"</strong> progression over the years has been nice for me. I expect her to make a huge jump as her team makes a deep run this year, and she will be a major factor in how well they do because she rebounds on both ends and defends inside and outside the paint. Scores around the basket and blocks shots </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874890"],"_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-696777fc35953"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott will also probably be making a major jump because her jumper has caused major problems for defenders over the years. She too, is<strong> "long and athletic" </strong>and she adds something else to the equation: she's a big guard that can shoot, and that profile is coveted by many next-level coaches, and with a flick of the wrist, she can nail it with a hand in her face. She scores off the dribble as well as around the basket, defense in the set looks good as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782602"],"_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-696777fc3599b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dudenhoffer was one of the standouts at the <strong>PGH Top 250 Showcase </strong>back in<strong> 2023 <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/10/pgh-top-250-showcase-review-teams-3-4/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/10/pgh-top-250-showcase-review-teams-3-4/" target="_blank"><em><strong>.</strong></em></a> I</span> hadn't seen her until this season's <strong>Sandra Meadows Classic</strong>, as I had placed her on my<strong> NEW FACES Tip Sheet</strong>, as it had been a couple of seasons <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2026/01/new-year-brings-new-faces-sandra-meadows-classic/">since my last evaluation.</a></em></strong> This is why I try to hit as many tournaments across the state as possible.
