Missing Pieces:Under the radar 2026's that will shine in July

July marks the final live period for the Class of 2026, and they're not only looking to enjoy the moment—but to finish with a big BANG! Here are some 2026 prospects who could be the missing pieces for college programs.    [player_tooltip player_id='514601' first='Talia' last='Busser'] is a sniper from behind the 3-point line and can shoot it from deep. She has recently started to showcase her ability to handle the ball, attack the rim, and finish through contact. She recently picked up a Division II offer, and I foresee this opening the floodgates for the rest of her recruitment.     [player_tooltip player_id='1223016' first='Leah' last='Barker'] is hard to call "under the radar" at 6'5", but she has only recently popped up on the scene for most. She has been impressive in this short July viewing period and could really catch the attention of programs with her ability to run the floor, her light footwork, soft touch around the rim, and her strength in playing through physical contact.     [player_tooltip player_id='847610' first='Allevia' last='Williams'] is an impressive player to watch. At 6'1", she's a combo guard who can run the point and get the system going, or play off the ball and knock down shots from deep. Her versatility to score off the dribble or the catch makes her a valuable asset. With a Division II offer already, she's poised to pick up more heading into her senior season.     (Cover Photo) [player_tooltip player_id='514564' first='Jailyn' last='Williams'] is a pure athlete with excellent footwork and a relentless work ethic. She plays with a motor that will translate well to the next level. Coaches value players who give their all on every play, and Jailyn does just that. She also has the ability to hit jump shots—if she begins knocking them down consistently, she could be flooded with offers.     [player_tooltip player_id='221613' first='Alyssa' last='Hallman'] has next-level size and scoring ability. Her dynamic skill set allows her to score from all three levels, making her extremely difficult to guard—especially when she's in rhythm and knocking down shots off the dribble. Hallman has picked up an offer this travel season and is poised to capitalize on her current interest as she prepares to compete on the biggest stages this July.     [player_tooltip player_id='1204369' first='Charlie' last='Scibelli'] has the ability to stay in front of ball handlers and force them to run their system. She also has a high basketball IQ on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she knows how to make the right passes to get her teammates open and can shoot the ball well off the catch and from the midrange. She excels in pushing the ball in transition and getting it out quickly for easy points. Charlie protects the ball well when dribbling—you rarely see her get stripped, as she handles tight defense without panicking. Her ability to provide whatever her team needs to win will complement the offer she already holds as she continues to compete this July.     [player_tooltip player_id='514627' first='Yamise' last='Haygood'] has elite speed and quickness with the ball—quicker than most even without it. She has the ability to get off the floor quickly around the rim and bounce right back up like a pogo stick. The same quickness applies to her shot, as she can pull up off the dribble with ease. This translates just as well on the defensive end, where she is always in the passing lanes and a nuisance on the ball. It's no surprise that this past high school season, she was one of the top players in the state in steals.
