<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their Junior seasons are kicking off and running and the class of 2026 is absolutely loaded with scholarship level talent. Instead of breaking down the same players over and over, let's dive deeper! Here's a look at the biggest risers in this rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2045987"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f677c4fb5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">New to Kentucky after transferring from Utah, Tate was plugged in at the very back of the rankings at the last update. Now that we've actually been able to see him, there is a lot to like. A big shooter who has fluid mechanics and a quick release, Robinson moves from 180th overall to 54th in this update. Shooting 57% from three through 4 games at Douglass, it's clear that Tate is an elite shooter with a very bright future. Excited to see him more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1901831"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f677c4fbf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the breakout stars of the summer, Combs moved from 79th to 56th and is trending up, long term. Daulton is a skilled guard who can play on or off the ball and has a good looking jumper with repeatable mechanics. While he's a below the rim player, Combs knows how to read a defense and make plays once he gets into the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874790"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f677c4fc4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the standouts of fall camp season, Stricklin is a really good guard who is deceptively athletic. He's gone from123rd to 63rd overall and could still be underrated. Acey hasn't had the best start to his Junior season statistically but he has shown his potential in the camp settings this fall that makes me know he has more to show before this season is over.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543627"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f677c4fca2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samuel had one of the most impressive shooting performances I've seen so far this season. Making a move up ten spots from 74th to 64th in this update, Seawright has had to wait his turn to get the majority of the shots for the Bears and should have a really big season as a Junior. Ultimately, I think Samuel can and will play college basketball thanks to his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1567477"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f677c4fcf7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another player who has had to wait his turn, Woodall is having a good start to his Junior year after waiting the last 2 years for more opportunity. He moves up from 81st to 65th in this update and could move up more by years end. Averaging 13 points and 6 rebounds per game, Hank is capable of averaging a double double if he gets more aggressive with his rebounding. Right now, Lexington Catholic needs someone to step into the alpha dog role and it could end up being Woodall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
