<p>The state of Connecticut overall has a great group of talented prospects in the class of 2026. Today, I will be highlighting five names that have impressed me in their sophomore year! Let's get started!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2407057' first='Declan' last='Griffiths'] is a polished off-ball guard with a diversified skillset. His primary weapon to score the ball is his three-point stroke. It's simply textbook form and is very comfortable shooting in a variety of ways. Whether it be off screens, off the catch, or pulling up, Griffiths can be dangerous from beyond the arch. He also shows some ability to hit mid-range floaters to keep the defenders off balance and makes smart decisions with the ball. On the defensive side, his weakside rim protection is outstanding for his age. Making plays mainly off instinct, Griffiths constantly any shot near the rim in recovery scenarios. His body is still behind his actual skillset right now, which will make him all the more dangerous when his body does catch up. Griffiths is one to track for programs and coaches.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2452018' first='Brandon' last='White'] is a pure-scoring threat with devilish offensive tools. He has crafty finish moves and isn't afraid to take contact around the rim. White loves to dribble around defenders and use the glass to his advantage. His ability on the inside while undersized is pretty remarkable. White is also a threat from deep on catch-and-shoot opportunities, which set up his inside game perfectly. He also makes solid passing decisions to open teammates in the half court and transition settings. Defensively, he competes hard and will get steals and deflections. White is one to watch as he continues to get more playing time and experience in the coming years.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2341412' first='DJ' last='Biggins'] is a quick and athletic guard who plays with real burners. You can't keep him contained on 1 v 1 scenarios. Once he gets by you, it's over as Biggins has already finished at the rim. He combines his speed with some impressive off-the-dribble shooting from the mid-range and three-point areas. The southpaw is smooth and effective from the top of the key and the corners as well. Biggins is also not afraid of going inside and finishing like an acrobat. He loves to jump high and contort himself to get the ball in the cup. This toolsy guard should be high on programs and coaches watch lists.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2553793' first='Hunter' last='Stoll'] is a developmental wing with functional ball skills. He has got good handles for his size and has a nice floater to score the ball. Stoll also loves to use the glass on his drives and showcases great touch. He also shoots off the catch effectively using a wide base and quick arms to get his shot off. In ball handling opportunities, he carries himself with a steady pace and nothing looks rushed or too big for him. Stoll loves to run in transition for dunks and also loves to chase down opponents on defense for blocks and rejections. While his body still needs to be filled out, Stoll could be very scary real soon and should be on everyone's radar.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2465130' first='Jeremiah' last='Medor'] is a strong-built lefty guard with some intriguing combo guard skills. He can shoot on and off the ball with little to no effort in his stroke. Pull-ups are no challenge for Medor and can hit those shots with ease. The passing flashes he has shown are really interesting, whipping rockets across his body in the half court. Medor has a high processor and can find open teammates so fast, that the defense has no time to react. Defensively, he has active hands and feet and can anticipate well for steals. Medor is not afraid of anyone and is always up to the challenge. He is someone who can make waves for coaches in the next couple of years with his package of all-around ability.</p>
