2026s Best Available Point Guards – Recruiting

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We take a look at the point guards who remain unsigned at this stage of the season. It's a demanding role that requires poise under pressure, the ability to initiate and control the offense, and a strong feel for pace and spacing. At the next level, point guards also need enough length and defensive versatility to handle switches without becoming a liability. The players on this list bring speed, floor leadership, and defensive upside—traits that can immediately benefit programs still looking to fill a need at the point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["673099"],"_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-698ba74a84502"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tati combines relentless energy, smart playmaking, and scoring ability to fuel the Knights' offense. Her quick first step, confident ball handling, and basketball IQ consistently create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates. Across the season, she posted strong all-around numbers with double-digit scoring, solid assist and steal totals, and leadership that helped Lone Peak compete deep into the state tournament. She has the height advantage that places her above some other players on the list and could be a great pickup for a good NAIA/D2 program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796802"],"_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-698ba74a845c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alia already has serious traction on the recruiting trail, with interest from D2 and NAIA programs along with a deep list of NWAC and JUCO schools. A quick look at the stat sheet explains part of it—she's among the leaders in steals and scoring—but her real value shows up between the lines. She applies constant on-ball pressure, changes tempo defensively, and brings an energy that shifts momentum the moment she checks in. When she's off the floor, the difference is noticeable. Programs that value defensive tone-setters and competitive guards will need to act quickly, and West Coast schools may be best positioned to secure her commitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1250448"],"_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-698ba74a8464f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1250448' first='Sienna' last='Bramble'] is a senior guard who has developed into one of Mountain View's primary scoring and playmaking options. She plays with high energy and impact on both ends of the floor, bringing relentless effort on defense and in transition. Sienna can push the pace, attack off the dribble, and put points on the board from multiple spots, including from beyond the arc. This season she's been a key contributor in the Bruins' rotation, averaging in the double digits in scoring and ranking among her team's top stat contributors. Her competitive toughness makes her a standout guard in the 4A classification. She also is super coachable and isn't afraid of putting in extra work to get better. She would be an easy pickup for a local JUCO or NWAC looking to build a player with lots of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812022"],"_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-698ba74a846ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kate has been the engine for APA this season, sitting at or near the top of the 2A stat sheet across multiple categories and even ranking among state leaders overall. She plays with a low center of gravity that allows her to protect the ball through traffic, absorb contact, and stay balanced while attacking. That same leverage shows up defensively, where her on-ball pressure and timing consistently lead to steals and disrupted possessions. Her pace control, court awareness, and relentless motor make her a true floor general. Any NWAC, D3, or JUCO program looking for a quick, high-IQ guard who competes on every possession should have Kate firmly on their radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789080"],"_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-698ba74a84765"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='789080' first='Jazzi' last='Prieto'] has been a steady and reliable presence in Roy's backcourt, earning varsity minutes for multiple seasons and handling the responsibilities that come with it.

She contributes across the stat sheet with rebounds, assists, and steals, showing a willingness to impact the game beyond scoring.

She brings leadership, consistency, and a strong understanding of the game, making her a valuable piece as a player who will fit well in any systems that value ball control, spacing, and two-way effort from the backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='812048' first='Aundrea' last='Dennett']</strong> - 5'5" - East</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='879701' first='Ruby' last='Clegg']</strong> - 5'5" - South Summit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796850' first='Shay' last='Brown']</strong> - 5'5" - Maple Mountain</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796819' first='Kassali' last='Wall'] </strong>- 5'7" - Manila</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796851' first='Sela' last='Ama']</strong> - 5'8" - Copper Hills</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796891' first='Ava' last='Nielsen']</strong> - 5'5" - Brighton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
