Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Rankings – New Names, Part Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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 more new names in part two of this two part series.<a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/10/prep-hoops-indiana-class-of-2026-rankings-new-names-part-one/"> For part one, CLICK HERE</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2573024"],"_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-6719463164c10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2573024' first='Asher' last='Arkenau'] is the perfect definition of a new name. We were unaware of him until attending a fall workout at Park Tudor where he stood out. Then, the 6'3" guard came to our Prep Hoops Indiana "The Expo" showcase where he once again played very well. Now that he is on our radar we have Arkenau ranked #126 heading into his junior season. By this time next year it wouldn't surprise us if he moves up further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471417"],"_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-6719463164c6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Center Grove lost a lot to graduation from a 21-win team, but luckily they have a junior varsity squad to move up that went undefeated. Goodpaster was one of the leaders of that group and a guy who could step into a primary role for the Trojans as a junior. The 6'4" versatile forward projects well as a potential small college prospect. He is ranked #118 in the junior class now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561089"],"_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-6719463164cce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you are going to have an elite skill making it be catching and shooting gives you a chance to be a legitimate prospect. Johnson is exactly that and he showed it time and time again over the summer for 5 Star Basketball 16u. The Northridge High School guard will factor into what should be a very good team this season. He makes his debut at #129 in our Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Prospect Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471421"],"_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-6719463164d2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'3" wing from Columbia City High School, Marshall had a strong sophomore campaign and then a great summer to help earn him an offer from Bethel University. He will once again be a go-to piece for an Eagles team with quite a bit of talent in the junior class. Marshall makes his debut here in our Class of 2026 Prospect Rankings at #117 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2472620"],"_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-6719463164d82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We like a handful of young prospects coming up at Hamilton Southeastern High School right now with one of them being Osswald who debuts in our rankings at #127. The 6'3" wing is highly versatile, handles the ball well, and had a consistently good summer. There is some upside with his athletic and physical tools as well. One to watch over the next couple of years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1557324"],"_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-6719463164dc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It can be hard to evaluate all of these Ben Davis guys because there are so many talented pieces and not all of them have much varsity experience. Even this year it will be a crowded backcourt for some of these junior guards. However, it doesn't change the fact that guys like Reddick absolutely are prospects worth knowing. We have him at #120 right now, but that could change as we get a chance to see him play more and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
