Paisley Hogan Paisley Hogan 6'1" | SG/SF Fort Smith Northside | 2029 State AR has been great for the Lady Grizzlies this year, but when it comes to the postseason, Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR has the pedigree, and she, of course, has the talent.

Schmidt has been a force to be reckoned with, particularly on the interior. She has incredible athleticism and footwork, killing defenders with both acrobatic finishes and dreamshakes. If a defender does still stand in the way, she can shake them off with a fake or a quick dribble move.

The Tulsa commit has a good jumpshot; I just want to see more of it, believe it or not. She has proven that in the lane, defenders don’t have a chance of contesting her jumpers, thanks to her length and high release. Which also means turnaround jumpers are definitely in her bag.

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR played a vital role in bringing a championship to Fort Smith last year, and now at the helm, she can do it again.

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR has had one of the best offseasons out of everyone in the state. She has quickly risen through the rankings, and I doubt that will stop anytime soon.

Schmidt has picked up several Division I offers recently, including Stetson, Iona, UTSA, La Salle, North Alabama, Tulsa, UCA, just to name a several. After helping lead Northside to a win in the 6A championship game last season in her first year with the team, Schmidt is back, this time as the number one option.

Schmidt is an excellent slasher, using her long frame to easily score over the defense. Her length is her most evident strength, as it allows her to be a great rebounder and defender, in addition to her offensive abilities. Like most great forwards and bigs in today’s game, the senior can stretch the floor with her solid outside shot.

I would imagine that Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR dominates this coming year, and maybe that is why all of these schools are jumping on the hype train, which is heading into the station in Fort Smith.

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR is one of the highest ranking risers, and she is far from finished. As she enters her second year with Northside, the expectations are higher than ever.

Schmidt averaged around 11 points per game for the Lady Grizzlies last season, and she was an important part of their championship team. The forward is best when attacking the basket as she can use her length and athleticism to score over and through the defense.

For the opposition, they dread seeing Schmidt on the other side of the floor. She can swat shots into the third row, or she can pick off passes and trigger the fastbreak. She can also overwhelm the other team with her ability to crash the glass hard.

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR has picked up some Division I offers as of late, specifically Cleveland State, Incarnate Word, and Central Arkansas. In addition to her stellar play with the AAO Flight , Schmidt is expected to be Northside’s go-to scorer next year. All of this played a major role in her ranking increase from #32 to #10.

Schmidt also stands at “the magic number” and watching her use a deceptive first step to score off the dribble was nice, so was her scoring around the basket, putbacks included. She also did a good job defending both inside and outside the paint

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR had a great first season with Fort Smith Northside after transferring from nearby Van Buren. She was a major contributor in the Lady Grizzlies’ 6A championship run and colleges have begun to take notice.

Back on April 30th, Division I Cleveland State sent an offer Schmidt’s way, which is a smart idea considering she is expected to be Northside’s primary scoring option in 2025-26. Schmidt has also been balling out for the Banshees , being recognized as a standout in session 1 of UAA play in late April. She also earned all-conference and all-state, in addition to being 6A all-tournament and a part of the River Valley Democrat-Gazette all-area team.

Schmidt has racked up the accolades, and it is all warranted. She is a matchup nightmare for any defender. Schmidt is too tall for a guard, as she can get into the post and score with her back to the basket. Bigs cannot keep up with her, as she can outrun players half her size. She has a great shooting stroke, and once she catches the ball from the 3-point line, it is cash money.

Camryn Schmidt Camryn Schmidt 6'0" | SF/PF Fort Smith Northside | 2026 State AR should not be #30 in her class. I believe by the next ranking update, she will be a top-10 player in the 2026 class. Keep up with this star forward throughout the rest of her summer with the Banshees .
