Top Players Class of 2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New ranking just came out today and the Top 5 are big time HM players and the Top 10 has the same. Let's take a look at the Top 5. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert'] || Timpview ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New look for the swingman as he has a buzz and bleach but his game is the same and that is better than most. His size and athleticism paired up with his skills is making him a difference maker. He has that grab and go ability. Hi handle allow shim to bring the ball up against anyone. You can't defend him with a smaller player because he will take them in the post or simply shoot over them anywhere on the floor. He can play with his back to the basket and the kid has range and can really go off in a hurry. Defensively he can bother the best of the best in the country. Locally he is tuff to score on. He is not that skinny kid anymore eaither and he is playing with confidence and swag. HM will continue to track this kid and he will pick up more offers this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278435' first='Junior' last='County'] || Wasatch Academy ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278435' first='Junior' last='County'] has really moved on up not only in the rankung here locally but nationally as his game has taken shape as a lead guard as well. He was tasked to handle the ball a lot when opposing teams would face-guard one of his teammates and he in turn really excelled handling the rock. He has that explosiveness flat footed and he can create his own shots anywhere onthe floor. Recently County was invited to be part of the USA minicamp. This kid is nice and will be a huge get at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278443' first='Anthony' last='Felesi'] || Utah Prep ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Felesi continues to play well on his new club team. The three-level scorer and three-level defender has improved his game as well, especially his shooting. Felesi is a player that is multidimensional, so trying ot stop him is a challenge. He continues to rack up the offers and will do so even more this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Katrell Harmon || Wasatch Academy ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harmon like many others before him is making his way to Utah as he will attend Wasatch Academy. The 4-star athlete has an electric game. Not only does he absorb contact with his physicality he is also smooth with his finishes at the rim. He looks like he is gliding laterally and the kid knows how to create space for himself. He is going to be a much anticipated player to watch. He's got about 5+ offers and a lot of interest but with him playing in this new league look for him to rack up even more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] || Springville ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sondrup is an inside/outside problem. He can bully down inside but he can also step out and shoot it from deep. His footwork continues to improve and when he gets to college he is only going to get better as he will add muscle and speed to his game. Sondrup should have a big summer heading into July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
