Top Stock Risers from 2026 Rankings Update

Our 2026 Rankings Update saw a handful of players make jumps after strong playoff performances to wrap up their Junior high school season, in this article we'll break down the top five stock risers from this update.    Singleton put on a show at the state championship game where Columbus Academy fell just short to perennial powerhouse Lutheran East. An athletic wing guard who makes a big two-way impact, Singleton exploded from a prospect with just one Division I offer heading into 2025 to now having a handful of Division I offers and a high major offer from Nebraska with numerous other high major programs closely monitoring his development. I expect Singleton to crack national rankings lists by the end of the summer if he performs how he has been on the EYCL circuit with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets']. One of the top trending names in the midwest, Singleton is a legacy recruit for the Ohio State Buckeyes who have our number two and three ranked players in 2026 already committed.     Maybe the most athletic player in Ohio, [player_tooltip player_id='2376402' first='Willie' last='Foster'] can absolutely fly through the air. One of the flashiest dunkers I've seen in years coming through Ohio, Foster will probably have one of the cooler senior season mixtapes of any player in the country. While the flashy dunks are cool, Foster also uses his athleticism to make an impact defensively and covers a ton of ground on the defensive end of the court. If Foster can consistently make shots from the perimeter he will see the floor sooner rather than later at the Division I level.     One of the shiftiest point guards in the state, Calloway has consistently improved his 3-point shot and turned it from a weakness to a strength and that dedication to his game has made him a steady stock riser in our rankings updates. Despite being an undersized guard, Calloway is a relentless on-ball defender who doesn't back down from a challenge. After a monster performance in the state tournament for Bishop Hartley, Calloway and company are set for a strong UAA season after winning the 16 U UA Rise championship.     Maybe the most skilled big in Ohio, Horton is the rare high school player you can throw the ball to on the block and watch him score over either shoulder. Able to pass out of double teams and make quick decisions, Horton is a coach's dream offensively. If Horton can defend pick and rolls and rebound at the 3SSB level, he'll continue to add to his already strong list of college interest and offers. Very interesting prospect to track in Ohio's 2026 class as Ohio rarely has bigs like Horton.     Already committed to Ohio State for football, Greer showed some of the ability that we saw during a freshman year state championship run that made us so intrigued by his ability on the hardwood. After a dominant playoff run, Greer showed us monster interior scoring and soft touch in the paint. The future Ohio State buckeye offensive linemen is a force on the hardwood as well.
