Our scouts added in 48 new names from all across the Washington DC+ Maryland area after watching summer and fall tournament basketball, with a total of 150 prospects listed. Let's break down some of the highest-rated new additions among the 2026 class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2607609"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6709bc9fc2f7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Our top addition to the ranking is an athletic combo guard from Louisiana that can score at a pretty high level. A lanky, fluid athlete- our scouts came away impressed with his shot-making ability from the midrange and beyond the arc. Parlow has good burst on his drive to the rim, good balance on his pull-up, and some sneaky bounce that comes out from time to time on rebounds and putbacks. Interested in tracking his usage within a pretty deep MZ rotation</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528359"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6709b4fd478d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Skilled guard that transferred into Wise this season after spending his first two seasons at Gonzaga, came away impressed with his ability to get to the rim and score in the paint. Walker sizes up the defense and uses a herky jerky dribble cadence to lull the defense to sleep before getting to his spots. Made the only 3 that I saw him take in two games, midrange jumper and floater looked fluid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2575608"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6709b4fd47934"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Finn is a scrappy utility guard that can hit shots but works hard to chase down 50/50 balls and make the extra pass to teammates. Handle is developing nicely but he serves as a good connector within the Seahawks' offense, timing backdoor cuts and hitting rollers with a touch base or pitching it to the opposite side of the floor to one of his shooters. Had a strong summer league at DeMatha and looks to carry that momentum forward with a South River team determined to defend their first AA County Championship</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540468"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6709b4fd47974"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Gramling has stood out at several showcases as a productive point guard that overcomes a thin frame by having a nose for the ball and outhustling his matchup to it. He can hit perimeter jumpers, take his matchup off the bounce, and forces a lot of turnovers and jump balls by anticipating the offensive player's movements. His shooting and IQ translate to him being successful both on and off the ball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2616662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6709bc9fc30b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-At Prep Hoops we like a good underdog, Fowlkes has earned his opportunities and has been productive at both ends in his role coming off the bench as a junior after leading the Cadets' JV team in scoring. A physical downhill slasher that patiently re-adjusts his driving angles to score with either hand around the rim, he can also knock down jumpers off the ball or serve as a rolling connector in the short corner against zone defenses. Fowlkes plays hard, plays within himself, and is an exemplary teammate whether he's having a great game or cheering from the sideline-- gotta love that energy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
