<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to players and the next level the landscape has changed as many are flocking to 2-year school as they are serving as a prep school now that they do not count against your playing eligibility. Everyone is looking for gems now, especially some of the 4-year schools. Here are some gems in the Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879144"],"_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-682df162e2e40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you can get Barlow at a small school maybe a small JUCO she would be an ideal 4/PF/SF type of a player that has athleticism and as a multi-sport athlete Barlow moves well and she has solid instincts and she rebounds well on offense and defense. She gets up and down the floor very well. She is a small school gem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796804"],"_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-682df162e2e99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kegel is a sharp shooting guard that can hurt you in a catch and shoot because she shoots that at a high percentage. Kegel has good size off the ball and could help a team spread the floor. Look for her to have an outstanding year this coming season. Kegel is another small school prospect maybe even an NAI type of player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879702"],"_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-682df162e2ee2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hales does a little bit of everything but the thing she does that can help her at he next level is that she does it with a high level of physicality. She is a gem as she can give you a few 3's and rack up rebounds. Hales is a double-double machine. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789057"],"_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-682df162e2f28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Expeft Fiefia to have a breakout year as she is a player that can dominate the paint. With soft hands and a soft touch she can make easy work of any deep paint catches. Fiefia when aggressive could bully ball a lot of defenders down in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796797"],"_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-682df162e2f6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wyaskett could easily land on a D2 or high level JUCO as she is a PG that has the ball on a string and she can fly up and down the floor in an uptempo style of play. Great skill set breaking down defenders and creating space for herself and others. Wyaskett will be a gem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

When it comes to players and the next level the landscape has changed as many are flocking to 2-year school as they are serving as a prep school now that they do not count against your playing eligibility. Everyone is looking for gems now, especially some of the 4-year schools. Here are some gems in the Class of 2026.
