Continue ReadingThe 2026 class is starting their Sophomore season and their 15u AAU seasons are already behind them. This class is deep and talented and several players already have D1 offers and several have multiple offers. This class has had a big summer, collectively and the group is becoming harder to rank already. Here’s a look at the biggest movers in this update.
Crane makes a big move from 78th, climbing 50 spots to 29th overall. Truthfully, he could have gone even higher had he played AAU after April. Jaylin is a crafty scoring guard who has high level ball handling and could be a scholarship player in the near future if he gets back on the AAU circuit next Spring. He was having a big year with Phenom Gold before he stopped playing.
Jackson goes from 42nd to 31st in this update and will climb higher once he refines his shot selection and becomes a more willing passer. There is no denying that Keene is a talented player but he often defaults to either putting his head down and going or launching a three. If he buys into being a facilitator, there’s no reason Keene can’t be a top player in his region and a legitimate college prospect.
Highlights
Hutchinson moves up 12 spots, going from 45th to 33rd in this update and he is on an upward trajectory if he keeps developing his overall skill level. Hutchinson plays with a good motor and is an above average rebounder for his position. Look for him to keep trending up as he keeps adding to his skill set.
Highlights
Bradshaw makes the move up from 64th to 47th after a good AAU season with Midwest. Donovan is long and a decent athlete. He needs to start using his athleticism more on the court, especially as a rebounder. It remains to be seen what role he’ll play for Cov Cath this season but long term, Bradshaw’s potential is very high.
Highlights
“T2” makes a big move from 83rd to 48th after a growth spurt as well as an increase in confidence. Cooper was in the middle of a growth spurt the first time I saw him last year and was going through a clumsy phase. Now almost a year later, the guard looks like a smooth playmaker and shooter whose best basketball is all ahead of him. Don’t sleep on Cooper being a helpful rotation player for the Warhawks this winter.
