Continue ReadingThe PrepHoops Oregon Top 250 Expo takes place on Sunday and it will be a full house of prospects looking to make their mark in front of college coaches both in person and online. We are starting to build the database for the Class of 2026 and lucky for us, at least a dozen of freshman have signed up to be a part of the event. Here are some of the names we’ll be watching at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA.
Keion James Adell Keion James Adell 6'0" | CG Grant | 2026 State OR , Grant
Adell is a 6-foot point guard with a quick dribble and great court vision that comes into high school with one of the highest reputations out of anyone in his class in the state. It will be interesting to see how he matches up against some of the top seniors at the event.
Jemai Lake Jemai Lake 5'11" | CG Tualatin | 2026 State OR , Tualatin
We saw Lake in summer league playing with the varsity squad and were immediately impressed by his skills, maturity level for his age, and willingness to take – and make – big shots. If his development curve is anything like older brother JoJo’s, watch out.
Jemel Baker Jemel Baker 6'4" | SG Roosevelt | 2026 State OR , Grant
Baker – likely a top five player in the class – comes into high school with the reputation as a high-level scorer, really capable of creating his own shot and getting loose in transition. At 6-foot-2, he’s already got solid size for a freshman.
Ryan Barone Ryan Barone 6'1" | CG Jesuit | 2026 State OR , Jesuit
While it takes awhile to move up to the varsity level at Jesuit, Barone is a lefty shooter who has the kind of game that fit in perfectly with their program and system.
Diego Garcia Diego Garcia 6'0" | CG Reynolds | 2026 State OR , Central Catholic
According to Central Catholic head coach David Blue, Garcia played with the JV summer league squad and is a solid all-around player that is more physical than most others his age.
Jayonni Redbird Jayonni Redbird 5'10" | CG Roosevelt | 2026 State OR , Roosevelt
Roosevelt head coach Yusuf Leary isn’t afraid of having freshman on his varsity roster so it wouldn’t be surprising to see 5-foot-10 Redbird competing for minutes off of the bench behind the talented junior trio of Hill, Morris, and White.
Abraham Taylor, Summit
Taylor is currently listed at 6-foot-2 but we’re guessing he’s still got some growing left in him as older brother Miguel stands at 6-foot-7.
Kingston Marshall Kingston Marshall 5'5" | PG Westview | 2026 OR , Westview
The younger brother of senior point guard Marchon at Westview, Marshall is looking to make a name for himself as well.
