Breaking Down the 2026 Top Ten

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top ten for the 2026 class is one of the most talented and diverse in terms of position that we've seen in recent years. The potential for wings, which are highly sought after, to be recruited is off the charts. We love the development we've seen from these players over the last twelve months as well as their recruiting interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>10. [player_tooltip player_id='2092029' first='Coby' last='Dillon'] - Coby ranks this high for many reasons. He's been consistently the best shooter I've personally seen over a 12 month span including mid-range and three. Dillon is also a high level ball handler who has excellent court vision and recognition of scorers in transition or in the halfcourt. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>9. [player_tooltip player_id='1203909' first='Alex' last='Starcher'] - Starcher who's recently overcame and rehabbed from injury has shown an excellent display of skills as well as great speed and explosion from the wing position. Expect a huge junior season from the Teays Valley Christian star who has everything necessary in his bag to play at the next level. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>8. [player_tooltip player_id='1851975' first='Max' last='Olejasz'] - Max has creeped up these rankings by doing the simple things and doing them at a high level. Highly fundamental in every way, Olejasz can play and is willing to play multiple positions from a wing to wing/forward or a post. His skill set as well as just enough explosiveness puts him in position to make plays. A player who does not need the ball in his hands to effect a game. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>7. [player_tooltip player_id='2243492' first='Dazon' last='Reid'] - Reid is one of the most anticipated players for people to watch. A true point guard and one with length which is always a preference to coaches at the next level. Reid has what we believe is enough skill, size and explosiveness he could be projected at the Division I level by the end of his senior season and that projection could be aided by his recent move to Huntington Prep.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6. [player_tooltip player_id='2303399' first='Anden' last='Santamaria'] - maybe surprises some to be ranked this high, however, he like the aforementioned Reid has a high ceiling and possible projection at the next. Santamaria will need intense work in the weight room and possibly a prep year, but the skill level is certainly there. Santamaria handles the ball like a guard, has guard-like court vision and great basketball IQ. Another player that can play multiple positions within successive possessions. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>5. [player_tooltip player_id='2114433' first='Zyon' last='Hawthorne'] - Hawthorne is being courted by a handful of Division I school and has a standing offer from Radford. Zyon has consistently excelled in games where he was matched up against other Division I guards which has led his recruiting to take off and expand. Hawthorne has nearly no weaknesses on the offensive end and most notably is a high level creator with the ball whether it be for himself or others. He delivers consistently and on time. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>4. [player_tooltip player_id='1851877' first='Harry' last='Silvis'] - Silvis for two years has lit up the AAU circuits with his deadly shooting from anywhere. A great scoring guard with length to utilize on defense, Harry has received high praise from some of the most notable basketball scouts on the eastern seaboard. Silvis currently sports a Division I offer from Radford and will be receiving multiple offers over the next eighteen months from D2, to prep school and other D1's. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>3. [player_tooltip player_id='1851878' first='Noah' last='Lewis'] - Another Radford offered West Virginia native, Lewis has had the state on notice since his freshman year at George Washington High School. Lewis has started to transition himself from a power forward type player to utilizing his athletic ability to play more basket facing style to accommodate most college styles. A fearless rebounder and paint scorer, Lewis will see his value and offers go up if his face up skills can be displayed in the next six months. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>2. [player_tooltip player_id='2211906' first='Eli' last='Sancomb'] - Sancomb is who we think is the best overall player who is a West Virginia native as well. The combination of length, ball skills, vision and play making are unmatched. He has no offers that have been announced publicly but we do know from our sources that the Division I interest is there and will likely result in offers. Point guards with this skill level and length are at a premium anywhere in the country so don't expect Sancomb to slip through the recruiting cracks. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>1. [player_tooltip player_id='1705961' first='Nate' last='Miles'] - Miles is a recent addition to the Huntington Prep roster who is a Toledo Ohio native. Miles holds multiple Division I offers including Cleveland State, Toledo and Central Michigan while being a four star ranked recruit on ESPN. At 6'5" 195lb, Miles already looks the part of a mid-major or power five conference player. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
