Continue ReadingEarlier today we published our updated Class of 2026 prospect rankings. By now you are aware that we have a new #1 ranked 2026 prospect in Jordan Dill Jordan Dill 5'11" | CG Germantown Friends | 2026 State PA . After a tremendous high school season at Germantown Friends School, Dill ascended to our top spot for the 2026 graduate year.
We reviewed the Pennsylvania Class of 2026 rankings to discover five other players who like Dill, used the 2022-23 high school season to increase their recruiting stock.
Below is a review of Dill’s outstanding season as well as those of five other southeastern Pennsylvania 2026 stock risers you need to keep an eye on during the upcoming spring grassroots circuit and beyond.
8 to 1… Jordan Dill Jordan Dill 5'11" | CG Germantown Friends | 2026 State PA – 6’3” / Germantown Friends / BW Elite / Combo Guard: Dill has quickly become one of the most talented and intriguing prospects in Pennsylvania regardless of graduate year. Dill was a varsity starter for GFS as an 8th grader. Then in 2022-23 Dill continued to prove that he is a three-level scoring machine who plays with composure well beyond his age. This winter he averaged 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2 steals per contest. Dill also splashed 59 triples this season and posted numerous double-doubles. He rung up games of 38 and 35 points this season. Dill was a 1st Team All-FSL selection and has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career.
44 to 4… KJ Coles KJ Coles 6'2" | CG Pocono Mountain West | 2026 State PA – 6’2” / Pocono Mountain West / PSA Cardinals / Combo Guard: Over the last nine months, Coles has been one of the most impressive 2026s in SEPA. He has displayed elite quickness, tremendous distribution skills, the ability to score off the bounce and logo range on his jumper. Coles plays with extreme pace, but he always remains poised and under control. So, he rarely turns the ball over. During his freshman campaign Coles posted 13.6 points per game while draining 69 triples. He directed PMW to a District 11-5A runner up finish and the 2nd Round of the 5A state tournament. Coles scored a season high 26 points (5 threes) vs. Chichester in1st Round of states.
14 to 7… Dior Carter Dior Carter 6'3" | SF Academy of the New Church | 2026 State PA – 6’1” / Academy of New Church / Philly Pride UAA / Combo Guard: Prior to the start of the 2022-23 school year, Carter transferred to ANC and reclassed into the 2026 graduate year. Both moves paid huge dividends for this athletic and high IQ combo guard who thrived this past season – 8.5 ppg. and 7 rpg. Carter is an off-the-dribble playmaker who creates opportunities for himself and teammates. He excels at getting into the paint for lay-ins or drive and kicks. Additionally, he can hit jumpers from all over the floor. At the other end, he is a menacing on-ball defender and underrated shot blocker.
18 to 10… Stephon Ashley-Wright Stephon Ashley-Wright 5'11" | PG Neuman-Goretti | 2026 State PA – 6’0” / Neumann-Goretti / Team Final Red / Point Guard: In 2022-23 Neumann-Goretti’s starting five was loaded with major college prospects, so Ashley-Wright carved out a role for himself as the back-up point guard. With his speed and mixtape handles, Ashley-Wright can go coast-to-coast in the blink of eye. When he is out in transition, Ashley-Wright can get buckets or distribute. In the half-court he will blow by defenders for lay-ins, hit dribble pull ups and splash threes. During his freshman season Ashley-Wright posted a stat line of 4 points, 2 assists and 2 steals per night while helping NG to the PCL title contest as well as the PIAA 4A state championship game.
137 to 18… Ian Williams Ian Williams 5'9" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2026 State PA – 5’10” / Archbishop Carroll / NJ Scholars Elite / Point Guard: Coming into the 2022-23 season we knew that Williams was an extremely talented prospect, but apparently, we severely underrated him. This winter, Williams quickly earned his way into Carroll’s starting lineup and then proceeded to turn heads on a nightly basis. He is a versatile point man who can facilitate for teammates or flip the switch and become a score first lead guard. Williams can operate at a high-level in transition or in the half-court. This season Williams averaged 9.7 points, 4 rebounds and 4.6 dimes per contest while shooting 37.5% from behind the arc. One of the many highlights for Williams this season was his 24 point (5 threes) performance against Germantown Academy.
133 to 117… Josh Benka-Coker Josh Benka-Coker 6'8" | PF The Pennington School | 2027 NJ – 6’6” / Bethlehem Catholic / New Heights / Small Forward: A starter from day one of his freshman year, Benka-Coker is a traditional small forward who does his damage from the mid-range to the rim. He can score on the blocks with either hand, possesses a solid face up game and produces points via the offensive glass. Plus, Benka-Coker can score off a couple dribbles from either elbow. This season he averaged 9.4 points per night and assembled 12 double figure scoring games. Benka-Coker netted a season-high 22 points against Nazareth. His outstanding play this season helped push BC to the District 11-4A title game and 2nd round of 4A state tournament.
