Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Rankings - New Names, Part One

We are in the thick of rankings update season here at Prep Hoops Indiana headquarters. This Monday we expanded and updated our Class of 2026 Prospect Rankings releasing a Top 150 along with nearly 300 more names on the Watch List. As we do each week when we release rankings, we will spend time diving deeper providing content that highlights stock-risers, new names, positional breakdowns, and much more. After highlighting 12 of our top stock-risers in the junior class, let's now turn our attention to some of the new additions to our rankings. Here are six new names in part one of this two part series.    Admittedly, Ladd's was a name that I thought we had added to the previous update. However, he did finally get his appearance here this time around debuting all the way up at #28 in the Class of 2028 Prospect Rankings. The 6'4" wing shoots it at a high level from beyond the arc, has the athleticism to create his own shot going to the rim, and has the length to be disruptive across multiple positions defensively. He had a great summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] 16u on the Prep Hoops Circuit.     Previously one of the top homeschool prospects in the state of Indiana, Karnes entered the Class of 2026 and enrolled at Lawrence North High School for his junior season. The big time scoring threat will make an instant impact for a team that will begin the season in the Top 5 of Class 4A. Karnes is a very good shooter, both off the catch and the dribble, with enough positional size to hold his own at the highest levels. He debuts in our rankings at #44.     Harvey was already on our Watch List previously, but after finally getting to evaluate him further the 6'8" big man from Ben Davis High School jumped all of the way into the Top 50 at #46 in the Class of 2026. He played very well in the month of June with Ben Davis serving as a backup between two of the best senior forwards in the state. Look for Harvey to make an impact this season and then really breakout over the summer going into his senior season. Definitely a name for college programs to know.     We've certainly comes across this 6'6" Brownsburg High School post player a few times over the years and he was on our Watch List for the class. However, we finally got a more in-depth evaluation of him at the Metro Indy Fall League and came away very impressed. Brandon moves well for his size, isn't afraid of contact, and can score it on the low block. He appears to be a fluid, versatile, two-way interior prospect very much worth keeping a close eye on.     A consistent standout over the past few weeks at the Metro Indy Fall League, Kesler looks poised for a breakout junior season at Roncalli High School. Another prospect who was previously on the Watch List but now debuts in our rankings, Kesler comes in at #87 in the Class of 2026 with more room to rise.     There are so many good players coming through the program at Crown Point High School right now. One that had slipped through the cracks, at least in terms of our radar, was this 6'4" wing. Bagley has played very well at the Metro Indy Fall League showcasing his impressive two-way versatile and athleticism. He makes his debut in our rankings inside the Top 100 at #88 in the Class of 2026.
