Updated 2026 Rankings: New Faces (Part 6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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 six of the new faces in the update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#133 [player_tooltip player_id='2548297' first='Gart' last='Heller'] | 6'6” C | Powhatan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heller is a new name to keep an eye on in the Richmond area, as he's a high upside forward who is just scratching the surface with how good he can be. The 6'6” big man is a good athlete for his size who can run the floor and play above the rim, he plays with a great motor on both ends and he shows good touch as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#134 [player_tooltip player_id='2618856' first='Camryn' last='Clark'] | 6'0” PG | Oscar Smith</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark is the next in a line of very talented guards that have come through Smith the past few years, and while they have a deep backcourt now he'll get plenty of changes to show what he can do. The 6'0” guard is a great floor general who can handle pressure and makes plays for others, he can create off the bounce in isolation and in pick-ad-rolls and he sets the tone defensively too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#135 [player_tooltip player_id='2618872' first='Christian' last='Myers'] | 5'10” PG | Massaponax</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2502957,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/tempImagewHTQij.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/tempImagewHTQij.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2502957" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Myers is part of a talented Massaponax backcourt that will be tough to match up with throughout the season, and he's a naturally talented scorer who can fill it up in bunches. While he isn't the biggest guy he's crafty off the bounce with the ability to touch the paint, he has a great middle game with pull-ups and floaters and he can move off the ball and knock down shots too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#137 Isaac Amoaka-Boateng | 6'1” SG | Fairfax Homeschool</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amoaka-Boateng may not take the traditional route as he's homeschooled, but he showed at the Prep Hoops VA Expo he's able to play with the best of them and has a lot of upside moving forward. He's a strong and athletic off guard who gets after it on the defensive end and is a good rebounder for his position, he can finish at and above the rim and he can make open shots from multiple levels too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#138 Dean Quaye Jr, | 6'0” CG | Life Christian Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548441,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageH4FnnJ.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageH4FnnJ.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548441" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quaye dealt with some injuries last season for LCA out of Petersburg, but now that he's back and healthy he looks like he's primed for a big junior season this year. He's the type of guy who plays the game at a different cadence which makes him very hard to guard, he can make contested shots in the midrange and finish through contact and he can make plays for others as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#139 [player_tooltip player_id='2548316' first='Ryder' last='Zingelmann'] | 6'5” SF | Liberty Christian Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zingelmann is one of a number of new players at LCA in Lynchburg as he transferred in from North Carolina, and he'll be a big part of their team with his size and shooting ability. He's the type of player you can play at multiple positions as he's strong enough to guard post players and rebound, he is a very good shooter from deep off the catch and he can attack closeouts with one and two dribble pull-ups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#141 [player_tooltip player_id='2548284' first='Ben' last='Bolle'] | 6'2” CG | Broad Run</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bolle is set to have a very good junior season at Broad Run, as the combo guard is part of a team that all can shoot and make plays for others, much like he can. Bolle is a scrappy guard who doesn't shy away from doing the dirty work and the little things particularly on the defensive end, he can knock down open shots off the catch and he makes good reads in transition and when he touches the paint too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#142 [player_tooltip player_id='2548292' first='Colin' last='Regan'] | 5'9” PG | Spotswood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Regan is part of a very talented Spotswood backcourt that will give opponents headaches throughout the year, and he's in a good spot to make an impact as a playmaker and secondary option. He's a high IQ guard who makes great decisions and finds shooters and cutters in stride, he can make shots from deep and has a good middle game and he brings energy on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
