Top 2026 Power Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In June, we updated the 2026 player rankings. The crew of 2026 power forwards is amazing with a minimum of four future D1 players at the top. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dig into what makes a few of these guys exceptional. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Always contact me @PrepHoopsTN via DM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77245","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"24753","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66947cde5f206"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tallest</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Height matters. Scan a college basketball roster and the heights will alarm you. Guards are routinely 6-foot-2 and bigs are generally 6-foot-6, or taller. Dozens if not hundreds of high school players see their careers end upon graduation simply because they are 2-3 inches too short. It is a cruel fact of life in the recruiting world. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are the tallest ranked PF's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2292618' first='Preston' last='Wade'] (6'10")<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2043374' first='Kaleb' last='Davis'] (6'10")<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1787950' first='Luke' last='Sigmund'] (6'9")<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1959160' first='Trey' last='Thompson'] (6'8")</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2292618' first='Preston' last='Wade'] was a Class of 2025 guy. Last month he announced he is now a c/0 2026 guy. Though raw Preston was already ranked in the Top 50 in 2025. He becomes a Top 15 overall guy in the 2026 group. He plays with a long wingspan. Needs to add weight eventually. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2043374' first='Kaleb' last='Davis'] is raised by a University of Memphis professor. The family aggressively watches their food intake. In fact, they grow an outrageous portion of their own food. Beyond that encouraging fact, Kaleb's older siblings played college athletics. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1787950' first='Luke' last='Sigmund'] plays for Maryville, a team with a legitimate shot at advancing to the 4A State Tournament in 2025. Luke's season will be a breakout campaign. Remember where you heard it...Sigmund will add 5 offers in 2025 alone. That March-May window will be exciting for him and his family as college coaches get their first in-person look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SLAM_HS/status/1811868491450052661","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SLAM_HS/status/1811868491450052661 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1959160' first='Trey' last='Thompson'] earned an ETSU offer before his sophomore year of basketball.
