<p>We introduce our updated Class of 2026 rankings!! Rankings are subjective and PrepHoops.com ranks purely upon potential and where the player will be at their basketball peak. Production factors in only when helping prove the potential is greater or lesser. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at five Class of 2026 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.</p>

<p>#58<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2358333' first='Justin' last='Nordin'] </strong>- Bearden</p>
<p>"He has done really well," said Bearden Head Coach Jeremy Parrott. "He is surrounded by good players. He has done a great job facilitating. He is a high-percentage, efficient shooter. I think he is going to grow a lot mentally and physically over the next year. He is definitely a college player. He can score on all three levels."</p>
<p>High-academic. Coach Parrott and I think Justin will have a variety of college options because he can hoop, but also will be a target by those institutions that truly prioritize school over athletics (D3, Ivy, etc.).</p>

<p>"Justin's older brother, Tyler Nordin was on our State Championship team," said Coach Parrott. "Brother Lucas is a D1 soccer player. So, there are good genes." </p>
