2026 Rankings Update: Sleepers to Track

Today, we finish our breakdown for the Class of 2026 with a look at some of New England's top sleepers.   Each of these five prospects falls outside of the Top 50 in our most recent rankings update and holds a ranking outside of the Top 10 at their position.   However, each also has the skill, athleticism, and potential needed to rise up the rankings and potentially garner scholarship level interest down the line.   Let's take a look at five Sleepers to Track in New England's Class of 2026:    Kasanga, a reclassified 2026 at Vermont Academy, was a stock riser this summer but still profiles as a recruit that might be flying a bit under the radar. A terrific defender in the open floor, Kasanga seems to consistently generate steals and deflections with his activity level. He's a good athlete with above average athleticism that has proven capable of guarding multiple positions. Offensively, he does a great job in transition, utilizing his athleticism to finish strong at the rim. He's an instinctive cutter, has some burst off the bounce, and does a good job of getting into the paint and spraying it out to teammates. He's developing as a shooter and continues to prove capable of handling the ball as a secondary option. He'll have a chance to impress against a higher level of competition this winter in the NEPSAC and should carve out a key role at Vermont Academy.     Webb, who had a strong summer with the Middlesex Magic, is a late blooming big man that has a versatile skill set and the ability to impact a game on both ends of the floor. Webb has continued to expand his game in recent months while improving his conditioning and adding strength. He's an incredibly versatile forward, capable of grabbing a defensive rebound and starting the break or establishing post position and finishing with authority by the rim. He does a good job of moving without the ball, has the ability to come off screens and knock down jumpers, and attacks closeouts off the bounce to finish at the rim. Defensively, he's capable of guarding on the perimeter or in the paint, while also controlling the glass and providing a high level of rim protection. The move to Deerfield Academy should allow his game to continue to blossom, giving him the opportunity to pop on the radar of scholarship level coaches this winter.     Trimboli, one of the top perimeter scorers in New England, has take his game to another level over recent months and should see an increased recruitment because of it. A confident, high IQ guard, Trimboli has a quick trigger on his jumper and in the grm range. He does a great job of moving without the ball, runs hard and wide in transition, and quickly squares up to the rim on the catch. He has some wiggle off the bounce and has started to show the ability to leverage his shooting into opportunities to attack the paint off the dribble. A high academic prospect, he plays with a solid understanding of the game on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he's a gritty on ball defender that likes to compete and does a great job of moving his feet laterally. One of the top performers in the NEPSAC last winter, he should be a prospect to watch for high academics and scholarship level programs this winter.     Brennan, a reclassified wing at the Holderness School, is a high IQ perimeter prospect that should only continue to improve against a higher level of competition in the NEPSAC. Brennan, who spent the summer on the travel circuit with the New England Storm, is a versatile wing that can handle in transition, make shots from behind the arc, and show solid decision making as a passer. The form on his jumper is clean, he does a good job of putting the ball on the floor against bigger defenders, and has proven to be a crafty finisher around the rim. Overall, he just continues to prove that he has a good feel for the game and knows how to play in and out of structure. Defensively, he's strong, competitive, and mobile. He can defend multiple positions, rebounds with authority, and supplies some rim protection from the help side. The move to Holderness should help with his visibility and improve his recruitment going forward.     Haglund, who's coming off a big scoring summer with the Middlesex Magic, has a chance to improve his stock this winter at Brimmer & May. A threat to score at all three levels, Haglund has continued to improve his strength and athleticism, as well as expanding his skillset. He's a versatile guard that can play on or off the ball, makes solid decisions in the half court, and does a terrific job of putting pressure on the defense in transition. He's a big time shot maker that elevates into his jumper and does a good job of establishing his feet before the catch. Defensively, he moves well laterally, can rebound in space, and does a nice job of jumping passing lanes to create turnovers. He's continued to get better month by month and now has a chance to shine in an increased role this winter at Brimmer & May.
