The highly anticipated new edition of the class of 2026 rankings have finally been released, with over 140 players in the rankings, including over 40 new players to the list! Here's a look at part four of the new faces in the update.   #101 [player_tooltip player_id='2575694' first='Chris' last='Rochester'] | 6'7” PF | VA Academy   Rochester makes his debut and will likely see himself move up on this list in the next coming years as he continues to develop, as he looks like a late bloomer who is starting to figure it out. At 6'7” he's a stretch forward who can play both on the perimeter and in the paint, he knocks down shots at a good clip from deep and he is starting to look more athletic as he's grown into his body.   #104 [player_tooltip player_id='2618830' first='Nick' last='McIntyre'] | 6'3” SF | Princess Anne   McIntyre is set to have a big junior season at PA playing alongside one of the best point guards in the entire state, and that will bold well for him and his particular skillset. The 6'3” wing is the prototypical “3 and d” archetype with good size and length on the wing, he shoots it at a high clip from deep and he brings great energy to his team on both ends of the floor.   #106 [player_tooltip player_id='2618834' first='Gabe' last='Christian'] | 6'8” C | Peninsula Catholic   Christian is a very intriguing prospect who makes his debut after a good fall with Peninsula Catholic, and while he's just scratching the surface he has a lot of potential to work with moving forward. He's a load in the paint as he clogs the lane defensively at 6'8” with long arms, he can challenge shots without fouling, he has good touch around the rim and he's willing to do the dirty work too.   #111 [player_tooltip player_id='2618835' first='Carter' last='Bullock'] | 6'2” SG | Catholic   Bullock burst onto the scene this fall with a talented Catholic group and he'll be one of the best sixth men in the state which fits his game perfectly with his energy and ability to make plays on both ends of the floor. The 6'2” guard is a good athlete who can take guys off the bounce and finish around the rim, he guards the ball well and jumps passing lanes off the ball and he brings great energy to his team in multiple ways.   #112 [player_tooltip player_id='2618837' first='Christian' last='Dinges'] | 6'3” SG | Handley   Dinges is another player making his debut that could easily move up this list with time, as he has a lot of intriguing physical and athletic tools and a budding skillset that just continues to get better. The 6'3” off guard uses his length and athleticism on the defensive end to make plays, he's developing nicely into a good shooter from deep, he's a good secondary ball handler and just continues to work and improve every time we see him,    #115 Desean J. Parham | 6'2” CG | Huguenot   Parham transfers to Huguenot from Henrico where was a standout last season and now will be the go to guy, and the way he's played this fall he looks ready for that kind of role. He's grown quite a bit and is now a big guard with a quick first step, he changes directions well and can break guys down in isolation, he can make tough shots from multiple levels and he has toughness to his game you can't teach.   #117 [player_tooltip player_id='2148679' first='Willie' last='Bennett'] | 6'1” CG | Fairfax Christian   Bennett is one of a number of new faces on this Fairfax Christian team that will be looking for a three-peat in the VISAA D3 classification this year, and he's part of a very talented backcourt they have. The 6'1” lefty is a strong and quick guard who can get in the paint and play through contact, he has an awkward shot but he makes it at a good clip and he is a pit-bull of a defender on the ball too.
