Spring Rankings Update: 2026 Point Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id='624882' first='Addison' last='Smith'] (2026) from Eastern High School in Pekin, Indiana.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Spring has arrived, and it's time for us to update the prospect rankings in all four graduating classes currently enrolled in high school. For the Class of 2026, it means this is the last time they will be ranked throughout their careers, and the overall list (<em>rankings &amp; watch list included</em>) has expanded from 275 total prospects to 300 total prospects. With that said, below is one additional look at all of the talented point guards the 2026 class has come to produce over the last four seasons. Below the rankings chart are some quick updates on a handful of uncommitted prospects (<em>as far as we are aware</em>).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12123","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c849dc3530f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["624882"],"_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-69c85fc6b9bad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Addison is riding high, coming off of a Class 2A State Title. We've had her and her sister, Avery, in our database for some time, and maybe I was admittedly a little late to the party, but I felt like her play to end the season warranted her addition to the Top 150. She is a nice all-around athlete, she has some length, good balance &amp; strength, and she is also well-rounded skillfully. She can handle it and act as a traditional point guard, she can attack the basket North/South and find open teammates or finish through contact, but she also possesses some touch around the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1256524"],"_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-69c85fc6b9c09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nina is always a fun watch, and she uses the combination of quickness, speed, good ball skill, and the ability to separate off the dribble to create offense for herself and teammates. She can lull a defender to sleep with the dribble, pull back and knock down a 25-footer comfortably. She can also make a similar move, hesitate to get them off-balance, then go by. Defensively, she does a nice job of using her quickness to contain opposing ball-handlers, plus she has quick hands and can create deflections/steals. The fact she remains uncommitted is a little surprising, because she is a playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["886428"],"_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-69c85fc6b9c52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gracelynn is another fun watch. She plays fast, likes to make plays in transition, has a lot of creativity in her game, and she can make shots with range, get to the rim, or find open teammates. South Central struggled for a few years, but with her and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='743640' first='Hailey' last='Conder']</strong> (<em>2027</em>) in the backcourt together, they made things happen the last couple of seasons. I feel like Gracelynn is someone who can come in and immediately help a team, especially by giving them sort of a "microwave" instant offense affect off the bench. She could be a nice small college recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486472"],"_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-69c85fc6b9c97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reagin is another smaller, quick &amp; shifty playmaker, who I have been watching since she was between her 8th Grade and Freshman years. She is good with the ball, she can change directions quickly, create space, and she has touch with some range as well. Additionally, she has done a nice job of being a true facilitator, and she gets through gaps and finds open teammates in positions to score. She is a crafty defender as well, she can create steals/deflections, and she does a nice job of pursuing rebounds at her size. <strong>Update:</strong> As I was writing this, I learned Reagin gave a commitment to Hanover College.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
