2026 Rankings-Top 10 Recap

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing I'm sure of is that the numbers by the names will change one more time, I base things on what I see., not on what others see or say This is a very deep guard class and by that, I mean impact or on the verge of being in that category so here's my initial first 10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510461"],"_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_0_evaluation":"#1 Abii is probably one of if not the most improved players over the past two seasons and here dominance on the inside is part of her being #1.  Another part is her versatility to play outside of the paint and her handling the ball after rebounding , she does that on both ends, and going coast to coast to score or dish creates problems for defenders. Her outside shooting has also improved yet her defense in the paint has also shot up","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["510462"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"#2 Flemings sold me in the 5th grade, yeah I dropped #D1Lock because I know where the bar has been set and her continuously adding more to her game has been very nice. Her size, her ballhandling and her BB-IQ to run a team is very good yet she understands how to set the defender up to score off the dribble or drop the jumper.

Watching her go after everything off the rim has always been special for me to see, not only because it's #THROWBACK but because she does it instinctively. She also finishes strongly around the rim, after contact included and can face the basket to score with the jumper or attack off the dribble","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["510463"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"#4 Arredondo is another player I locked in at #D1 in the 5th grade and her poise under pressure playing against older players was part of the reason. so was her ballhandling and court vision as I knew everything else would fall into place.

She was a difference maker  even back then by not only scoring but doing things that don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet but watching her set teammates up for u0022gimmesu0022 is special, so is her  pull-up jumper, which she drops with a hand in her face, along with scoring off the dribble","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["510465"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"#7 Pruitt is long and athletic, that will always be the base and the first time I saw her she dropped around 3o in a variety of ways, against a talented team and that falls into my u0022it's not what you do, it's who you do t againstu0022 saying so her progression on the court , playing the passing lane, her timing to block shots, and elevating over defenders to score off the dribble or knock down the mid to long-range creates match-up problems","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["510469"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"#8 Simpson is one of the most underrated players in this class, I've been watching her for almost 3 seasons and she has added a little more to her already impressive game in each season.
