2026 Rankings Update: More New Additions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week the Prep Hoops SoCal team released a fresh update to our class of 2026 rankings in the region and there were more than 20 new names added to the mix. Below we break down some of the top new additions to the junior class in SoCal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2622305' first='Mateo' last='Ingersoll'] | SF | Arcadia</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ingersoll is a long, wiry and athletic wing/forward whose ability to attack the basket off the bounce and finish above the rim in transition and half-court offense are his best qualities as a prospect. At 6-feet-6 with an impressive wingspan, Ingersoll also impacts the game on the defensive end as a defender who can guard multiple positions. The next steps for Ingersoll, who checked in at No. 66 in this rankings update, is to become a more consistent three-point shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2530698' first='Elijah' last='Sumi-Scruggs'] | CG | Aveson International Sports Academy</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sumi-Scruggs has a skill that translates immediately to the next level and that is his shooting ability off the catch and off the bounce. The 6-foot-4 guard has deep and consistent range on his three-point shot and knocks them down with confidence from multiple spots of the floor. Sumi-Scruggs is also a capable mid-range shooter when using the shot fake and one or two dribble pull-up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2622334' first='David' last='Abisogun'] | F | Fairmont Prep</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abisogun is a high motor and mobile forward/center who, at 6-feet-8, protects the rim with active hands, verticality and the ability to stay vertical and contest without fouling. He also has the lateral foot-speed and athleticism to contain guards in emergency switch situations. Offensively, Abisogun is best as a dunker spot finisher and offensive rebounder who finishes put-back opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2622344' first='Kye' last='Davis'] | G | Palisades</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a strong, burly guard whose combination of strength and downhill speed allows him to achieve paint touches at-will in transition and half-court offense. The 6-foot guard does a nice job of making reads on when to hit a teammate or take a scoring opportunity for himself when he gets into the lane. Davis is also a guy who can knock down the open three-point shot with time and space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2622326' first='Kai' last='Carlson'] | SF | Cathedral Catholic</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carlson's value is in his versatility at the offensive end of the floor. The 6-foot-5 wing can stretch the floor to the three-point line, scores with savvy around the rim and is a consistent threat to shoot or drive in face-up situations. Depending on the matchup, Carlson's shooting ability and ball skills allow him to play both the three or four spots on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
