Jackson Whitaker Jackson Whitaker 6'1" | CG Liberty (Renton) | 2026 State WA (24) – Liberty HS
Jackson played a big role as a freshman last year, being a starter. He is a leader on the court, being vocal and playing beyond his years. He has a smooth jumper, being able to sink the long range shot with ease and at high volume. He finds his open teammates, being one of the best passers on his team.
Nick Norrah Nick Norrah 6'2" | SG Bellevue | 2026 State WA (25) – Bellevue HS
Nic got some solid minutes last year on this Bellevue team that was a tough team to go up against. He gets downhill effectively, using his speed and strength to his advantage. He plays under control with the ball in his hands, being able to adjust nicely to what the defense gives him.
Mateo Cummings Mateo Cummings 5'11" | SG Lake Washington | 2026 State WA (53) – Lake Washington HS
Mateo has grown a bit since the beginning of his freshman year, as he stands roughly 6’2″. He’s a guard who will have a much bigger role next year and in my eyes, will surprise a lot of people. He has solid handles and a great shot from mid-range and deep. He moves his feet well on defense, hustling hard every play. He’s a player who could sneak into the top 25 in the rankings.
Jackson Skaggs Jackson Skaggs 6'1" | CG Bellevue | 2026 State WA (60) – Bellevue HS
Jackson’s a player with a very high ceiling. He attacks the ball very well with both hands and finishes around traffic down in the paint efficently. He should see more minutes for Bellevue and will take advantage of the playing time, showing why he should be on the court. He will be a great facilitator for the team.
Andrei McDonald Andrei McDonald 6'4" | SF Mercer Island | 2026 WA (WL) – Mercer Island
Andrei will be ranked by the end of next season if he continues to grow his game at the rate he is. He is a gritty player who will do all the little things on the court. He dives on loose balls, fights for rebounds off the glass, and isn’t afraid to play tight defense. Be on the lookout for McDonald with Mercer Island next season.
