New England 2026 Rankings Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The calendar turning to December signified that it was rankings update season and after covering <em>2025's</em> last week, we now turn our attention to the <em>Class of 2026</em>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong><em>#1</em></strong> spot continues to belong to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341271' first='Sebastian' last='Wilkins']</strong>. A talented combo forward at <em>Brewster Academy</em>, Wilkins in one of the top players in this class nationally and has serious two-way potential at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341304' first='Abdou' last='Toure']</strong> moves into the <strong><em>#2</em></strong> spot and his followed at <strong><em>#3</em></strong> by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341292' first='Collins' last='Chidera Onyejiaka']</strong>. Toure, a dynamic guard out of <em>Connecticut</em>, was a national stock riser last summer and is in line to be a dominant force in the <em>CIAC</em> this winter. Onyejiaka, a physically imposing big man at the <em>Newman School</em>, continues to improve at a rapid rate while flexing his muscle in the paint on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341286' first='Sam' last='Fleming']</strong> checks in at <strong><em>#4</em></strong>, one spot ahead of <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2563037' first='Darien' last='Moore']</strong> who holds down the <strong><em>#5</em></strong> spot in this update. A big wing at <em>Wilbraham &amp; Monson</em>, Fleming is a versatile offensive prospect that continues to round out his game on both ends of the floor. Moore, who stars at <em>Brewster Academy</em>, is a big time scorer at the guard spot that also profiles as a shut down perimeter defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In all, 200 prospects have been ranked in this update, with an additional 109 appearing on the <em>Watch List</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All six New England states are represented in these rankings, with prospects coming from the NEPSAC, Power 5, and each individual state association.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Positionally, these rankings feature 35&nbsp;<em>Point Guards</em>, 37 <em>Combo Guards</em>, 36 <em>Shooting Guards</em>, 53 <em>Small Forwards</em>, 33 <em>Power Forwards</em>, and 6 <em>Centers</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye on the site throughout the week as we highlight the Top 10, Newcomers, Risers, and more!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
