2026 Rankings New Additions!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's the players that have cracked the top 100 rankings for this latest update. These players were evaluated along with dozens of others to determine if they should be ranked and where. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2711614' first='Gavin' last='Giesse'] Gavin is off to a blazing start for the AA Oak Glen squad averaging 12 points per game in his junior season. Giesse will certainly be the northern most ranked player in the 2026 group hailing from the top of the panhandle. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2711610' first='Jacob' last='Mick'] is another new player coming out of the gate quickly for single A Gilmer County. Mick is putting up 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists so far in the Titans schedule. Mick plays well from the point or easily slides over to shooting guard when necessary while shooting 43% from three. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2684076' first='Brent' last='Conley Jr.'] has had some great outings dating back to last year and we've seen his confidence and consistency build. Playing on a roster littered with scorers, Conley typically gets 3-4 buckets as well as puts numbers in every other stat category while competing in WV's top division. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2704995' first='Nathan' last='Dixon'] has had to step up and play lead scoring role many times while so much attention has been put on a couple teammates. Dixon has been great with shot selection and shooting at a solid rate from deep. Dixon also does a great job putting the ball on the floor and handling when needed. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2633937' first='Brycen' last='Slack'] has showed up big on several occasions including this year providing scoring support on a very young but talented roster versus WV's biggest schools. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2696768' first='JD' last='Williams'] has led the Patriots in scoring most outings this season during a tough start. Patriots have a young and smallish roster which requires shooters to be on point and so far Williams has held his own. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691253' first='Jaxon' last='Murray'] is a senior guard who's been a fixture in the Linsly program for four years. Being the main distributor on a squad with two division I players might sound easy, but when you see the competition they face every week it becomes clear that's more of a challenge than one thinks. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691014' first='Ryan' last='Mann'] has been nothing but great so far this season. Mann is averaging 13 points and 10 rebounds currently adding nearly four assists per game as well. Mann is quickly trending towards being a likely next level prospect given his size and talent. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2686841' first='Austin' last='Porta'] has done nothing but light up the scoreboard to date. Averaging a bit over 21 points per game with 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Porta has carried the load for the Trinity squad this season. Porta could quickly trend towards prospect level with a great offseason. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2683734' first='Braydon' last='Swanson'] is necessarily a huge stat sheet stuffer, but rather adds much needed support to the very athletic Jefferson lineup in many ways. The 6'5" forward shoots it well from deep as well as add support in the paint to an otherwise smallish lineup. Swanson has played well so far this season in all games we've been able to watch. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2638524' first='Jayden' last='Smalls'] gives much needed depth to a Morgantown lineup that uses alot of players given its defensive schemes and intensity. Smalls does an incredible job with ball pressure as well as taking care of the ball in transition. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2679289' first='Malcolm' last='Brown'] has done a great job for South Charleston early on this season. The talented guard is an exceptional role player on a squad of playmakers but also doesn't hesitate to take the lead as well when necessary. We really liked his defensive efforts and play in transition when we saw him in December. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691774' first='Cam' last='McDaniels'] stock has continued to climb it seems week after week this year. He's been a standout player in almost every event Huntington Prep has played in. McDaniels gets yet another opportunity in the Grind Session at Louisville this weekend where he'll start the weekend off squaring up against a 5* recruit. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691777' first='Jairo' last='Van Den Berg'] has been a starter for Huntington Prep national roster for this season. The 6'8" wing from the Netherlands will get high level D1 attention soon as scouts are in the gyms hot and heavy to watch this HP roster. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
