Continue ReadingThe 2026 class has a lot of depth to it and there are already 7 players claiming multiple D1 offers. But there are several others I would offer if I had the opportunity. So allow me to pretend to be a D1 coach for a few minutes. These are in no particular order.
Surratt is a super talented point guard with the potential to be a high major prospect in the near future if he keeps developing. DeMarcus is a very athletic point with good positional size and the ability to knock down shots in the midrange and from three. Long term, he’s one of the best prospects in this 2026 class.
Highlights
Jeremiah is a physical wing forward who has the tools to be a three level scoring threat thanks to his size and a frame that is already bordering on college ready. Jackson hasn’t become a knockdown shooter yet and that’s his biggest area for growth, long term.
Craig is already a high level shooter after knocking down 42% of his threes and 82% of his free throws as a freshman. Walker is a legit 6’6 and knows how to move without the ball. His biggest areas for improvement are those typical of a freshman in that he needs to get stronger and improve his overall skill set and ball handling.
Meagher is my prediction for “next up” at Lexington Catholic. Max is long and very athletic with the potential to be one of the best prospects in this class once he gets a chance to show what he can do after sitting the varsity bench behind a veteran group last season. If there is a player to buy stock in, Meagher is worth the investment.
Edelen is the most skilled player on this list and is an absolute sniper from deep. In his freshman season, he knocked down 44% from three and made over 3 per game. Cole is still on the skinny side and needs to continue improving his game in all aspects other than shooting but there’s a reason he has a couple of D1 offers already and could be a mid major or better recruit by the time he graduates.
