Top 110 SFs Climbing the Ranks

We have diligently evaluated 2026 prospects year-round throughout their high school careers, and the rankings have taken shape. Our list now includes 500 total prospects, and the final rankings update is just around the corner. 92% of the prospects in this class are projected to play for programs at the NAIA/D3/JUCO level. My hope is that all the girls on this list will have the opportunity to play basketball at the college level. I believe there's a kid who can help a college program at every level in these rankings. Here are several small forwards who earned a higher ranking in our latest update.     Sienna is back to full strength, and she's been an offensive juggernaut for Rockford this season. She took home Co-MVP honors from the West Michigan Hoop Summit and hit her 100th career three-pointer against Midland. Sienna's ability to drive and finish, accuracy from three, footwork, length, mobility, and inside/outside versatility make her the top wing-small forward in this class. Sienna leads the Rams in scoring often, and she's going to be essential to making another run to the finals.     Lillie has been busy adding to her Miss Basketball resume, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion that she will be a Finalist when all is said and done. Lillie set a new Gladstone single-game scoring record with 47 points in December and reached 1,000 career rebounds before the new year. She became the new career scoring leader at the beginning of January and is on pace to hit 2,000. Lillie's guard-like skills and forward length make her a daunting matchup for opponents.     Alesia has battled injuries throughout her career. That hasn't been a problem this season, and she's shown all of the qualities that make her a top 15 prospect in the state. Alesia is fundamentally sound. Her footwork, confidence handling the ball, finishing touch, passing vision, three-point accuracy, rebounding, and active defense make a big impact for the Hawks.     Sadie has been one of the best and most athletic wing-guard prospects in the state throughout her career at Yale. Her straight-line speed, ability to finish in traffic with both hands, and pull-up jumper make her a prolific scorer. She creates deflections and steals on the defensive end, then flies up the court to score in transition. Sadie is committed to the University of Michigan for Track and Field.     Bella was a hidden gem in this class, and SVSU is getting an absolute steal. She's fundamentally skilled, strong, and tall. Bella has vision like a guard, finishes with power and soft touch off two feet, is a determined rebounder, and an active defender. Bella has been a double-double producer for Stevenson and set the single-game school record for steals with 14.     Tanner is one of the top unsigned wing-forwards still available. She's been a foundational contributor at Goodrich throughout her career, and that's been no different this season. Tanner knocks down perimeter shots, creates driving lanes with her dribble, and finishes well at the rim. She's tough, active on the boards, and protects the basket as a shot-blocker.     Kimora averaged 25 points and 17 rebounds as a junior for Bridgeport. She stood out on the court when I watched her play in Hamilton, Ohio, with 1 Nation Elite. She's athletic, long, an explosive downhill scorer, and a relentless rebounder. Kimora recently picked up offers from Lansing Community College and SC4.     Zion had a productive junior year at Berrian Springs, averaging 10 points, six rebounds, 3.4 steals, and 2.6 blocks per game. She's taken her game to another level as a senior. Zion has multiple 20 and 30+ points games. She's hitting double digits in steals and rebounds as well. Zion's physicality, length, athleticism, strength, and ability to attack off the dribble will be a great addition to a college program.     Meadow's recruiting really took off during the travel season prior to an injury. She's back to full speed and making a huge impact on the court for Macomb Dakota. Meadow's been leading the way in January with three 14+ point and 8+ rebound games, including a double-double during a win against Chippewa Valley. Her athleticism, outside range, and two-way impact will be an exciting addition to a college program.     Grace is a versatile, skilled, and lanky wing who consistently stood out on the travel circuit and at showcases. She has the handles to create driving lanes, attacks downhill with a burst, and finishes with touch at the rim. Grace has excellent instincts off the ball and is a knockdown three-point shooter. She crashes the glass to secure rebounds, deflects passes on the defensive end, and makes the effort plays. Grace is averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds per contest in her first five games of the season for TCW. She picked up offers from Kalamazoo College aPayton nd Aquinas during the summer.     Payton was selected as the Gaylord Herald Times Girls Basketball POTY as a junior and she's off to a stellar start for Gaylord St. Mary's as a senior. Payton caught my attention with [program_tooltip program_id='1239258' first='HB' last='Elite'] in the spring and her dual-threat scoring ability stood out again at the Big North Shootout. She drives hard to the hoop for layups and has a dangerous stroke from three-point distance. Payton reached 1,000 career points in December and the Snowbirds are off to a 7-1 start.
