2026 Rankings Update: Biggest Movers Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have gotten through Memorial Day and are ramping up to the start of "summer ball" in the coming days. AAU season is more than halfway over and July will be here before you know it. It's time to update our rankings, starting with the class of 2026. These rising Seniors have seen a lot of movement over the years and have had a few players transfer out of state. Here's a look at the biggest risers of this update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2317259"],"_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-6834e6cab4d1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adams is on the cusp of the top ten in the class as he has risen from 20th overall to 11th in the class and his ceiling is high enough that he Taeshawn may not be done moving up those rankings. A high energy forward who plays with a great motor and is switchable defensively, Adams is extremely young for the 2026 class and may not be done growing. He definitely has the chance to add some bulk to his frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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-6834e6cab4dc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Staying in the same district, Douglass' [player_tooltip player_id='2045987' first='Tate' last='Robinson'] moves from 31st to 22nd in this update. Possibly the best shooter in this class, Tate has a super high basketball IQ and continues to get stronger and more comfortable with the ball. Robinson has grown up in the gym and it shows. Don't be surprised if Tate doesn't grow some more as he just turned 17 last month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1901830"],"_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-6834e6cab4e5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">More commonly known by his nickname of "Chief", Cameron is primed for a huge breakout at Saint X this coming season. The point guard moved up from 45th to 27th in this update and could continue trending up. With [player_tooltip player_id='1302983' first='Chance' last='Dillingham'] gone and [player_tooltip player_id='2122466' first='Brandon' last='Dayes'] giving up basketball to focus on professional soccer, look for Chief to be the primary ball handler and playmaker for the Tigers from now on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2647506"],"_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-6834e6cab4ee5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the biggest movers this time around, Adrian goes from 93rd to 31st and could be the 6th region player of the year as a Senior if next season plays out like this one did. A big wing who can really shoot the ball, Wilder has a lot of potential with his ability to score inside and out. A 43% shooter from three with a quick release, don't be surprised if Wilder leads Butler to a big 2025-26 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
