2026 Rankings Update: Stock Risers pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not a whole lot of movement on players I already knew about which means the progression continues the first 21 spots didn't change at all. I'll start with the players that moved up 4 or more spots in part 1 of the STOCK RISERS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510473"],"_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":"Richmond grabbed my attention years ago as she was one ofu003ca href=u0022https://girlzprepreport.com/2020-passthaball-next100-pt2-the-2026-class/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e u0022the girlsu0022u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e so watching her add a little of this and a little of that to her game at the u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/01/stock-risers-mansfield-spring-creek-invitational/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eSpring Creek Mansfield Invitationalu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e has her elevating upwards 12 spots. No matter what setting I've caught her in, she understands how to adapt because she is u0022poised under pressureu0022 and her comprehension of the game is solid. She does a good job of creating her shot under pressure yet what was even more impressive was watching her show the stop and pop in transition. Her ballhandling, as well as court vision was also solid, as well as her defense","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["597324"],"_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":"Carlton took a huge turn upward after catching her in one of the area tournaments this season yet after all, she's u0022long and athleticu0022 which will always be the base and her transformation is steadily creating some issues on both ends of the court. First of all, she's going after the ball off the rim, this is big yet she's also doing a better job finishing around the basket after contact. Another plus is she's taking the defender off the dribble to score and showing she can face the basket and drop it. One big plus is u0022better timingu0022 to block, alter and (or) deflect shots to go along with solid interior defense","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["802566"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Fox is a u0022long and athleticu0022 guard and teaming up with her talented sister makes them a formidable duo for their squad. Fox is one of those u0022never takes a play offu0022 type of player and the intensity she brings on both ends of the court is just something you can't teach and watching her u0022on the ball pressureu0022 baseline to baseline helps to create turnovers. Another way she creates turnovers is doing something I love to see and that's u0022playing the passing laneu0022. She scores off the dribble, nice body control on her finishes, after contact included and her pull-up jumper is very nice","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["510476"],"_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":"Walls made my u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/05/2026-day-3-eye-catchers-heartoftexas-pt-1/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eEYE CATCHERS Tip Sheetu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e from last season's Heart Of Texas yet watching her with her school teams at the Girl's TABC Showcase a few months later gave me a totally different perspective of her game, which is good because it shows she knows and understands how to not only adapt, but be relevant and separate herself. Yes, she scores off the dribble as well as mid to long-range but her ability to take games over when needed was a plus. Her court vision as well as decision making adds to what she brings to the table yet keep adding because her defense is also solid","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b0ed20a59b9"} /-->
