Biedleman grabbed our attention with his long 6’9 frame and ability to put it on the floor and get to the paint from the corners. He has work to do, he wasn’t always successful, but he did show he could play on the perimeter, and go inside to get a bucket. He put up 3’s along the perimeter. He’s on the Wright’s Watch List
Price took on some of the scoring at this event. He’s starting to knock down mid-range, and 3ptrs with some consistency. Being in the 2026 Class he plays a somewhat mature game. He’s a big guard with the skills to play both. He’s actively looking to put points on the board when he has the ball. He uses his size and dribble to take on defenders in the paint. His passing is good.
Bare has made good progress since the last time we saw him at the state finals. He’s moving better in the post. He’s a big with improving presence in the paint as a rim protector, he swatted away plenty of shots. He’s getting buckets, and dunks in the paint, he’s a lob guy, he’ll get his rebounds. He’s a rising 2026 prospect and should attract more attention if he continues to develop.
Ramey is hard to deal with when he’s focused. He has a good all around game, can play both guard positions, he’s a willing passer. In one game he dropped 4/5 3-pointers in the first half in a blow out win. He showed speed and strength in finishing in transition. He’s a ball handler with quickness to get to his spots. He’s a speedy defender with good lateral movement.
He’s a confident scoring guard who can put the ball in the basket coming from different angles on the court. He has the body and handles to get into the paint, he can pull-up on the dime and he doesn’t hesitate to pull-up for open 3’s in transition or on the perimeter.
Gomez continues on the upward path. The versatile 2026 has a good set of skills and body to work with. At 6’5 he can generate a buckets in different ways. He has good hops, decent handles and the body to bump his way into the paint for buckets. He can hit the short jumper and a 3ptr that’s improving. He attacks the rim hard in transition, and along the baseline. He rebounds and defends with good effort.
