Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Rankings - Stock-Risers, Part 2

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. Let's begin here with a look at six prospects who jumped in the rankings the most.    There is a lot of talent in the sophomore and junior classes at Silver Creek High School right now. They should compete in the Top 10 of Class 3A this season and could really make a push for the top next year. One of their most intriguing prospects is this 6'8" junior forward. Caldwell showed some real flashes of his potential over the summer which led to him jumping 30 spots in our rankings to #59 overall in the Class of 2026.     Shooting never goes out of style. We can you can absolutely fill it up from beyond the arc college coaches are going to take notice. Few in Indiana's Class of 2026 do that at a higher level than [player_tooltip player_id='1560961' first='Grady' last='Gardner']. We got a chance to see him more in person this summer and then again at the Metro Indy Fall League and his shot-making was on full display each time we would watch. Gardner is now up to #61 overall in the junior class.     Chapman is the perfect example of why it is important for us at Prep Hoops Indiana to be in the gym as much as possible. We knew he had a strong sophomore season at Evansville North and he came highly recommended from trusted sources down that way. However, when we got eyes on him at the Pocket City Fall League a couple of weekends ago he really stood out. That strong performance helped him jump 20 spots to #72 in the class.     After a strong sophomore campaign for a very good Terre Haute North team, Fennell is one to watch for to up his production further this season. The 6'3" guard is a very good jump shooter and has the size to finish around the basket at the end of his drives. He has continued to play well at the Metro Indy Fall League and is now flirting with the Top 100. There are so many guys in the 70-150 range really that could go in about in order.     As we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of players in this 70-150 range that you could really put into about any order. That is what makes rankings tough. We feel good about moving Packer up several spots though after watching him score 31 points in a contest at the Metro Indy Fall League. His shot-making ability, both from the mid-range and beyond the arc, really stood out. After a strong junior season at South Bend Riley don't be surprised if he is a stock-riser once again down the road.     Sims really broke out over the summer on the Prep Hoops Circuit ultimately leading his [program_tooltip program_id='2076166' first='Grand' last='Park Premier'] White team to a final four appearance in the 16u track of the Grit Region Finals. He had several big time scoring outputs along the way proving himself as a shot-creator and shot-maker out of the backcourt. Look for him to start to make his name known a bit more this season at Pendleton Heights High School.
