2026 Prospect Rankings Update: The Top 75 Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue with the stock risers and the guys that are making nice sized jumps in the top 75.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1858796' first='Ezra' last='Cunningham'] of St. Paul Academy/[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. The 6'5 combo forward is coming off of a 19.5 point, seven rebound per game average season and he's taken another step playing with the Heat. Ezra grabbed an NAIA offer from Morningside and has better range than expected. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1874800' first='Brayden' last='Gorton'] of Minneapolis Washburn/[program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury']. The 6'8 left handed skilled stretch four man continues to rapidly improve. We saw him in late January and were intrigued, and this spring Brayden continues to take steps towards more and more consistency. A nice prospect that has a good ceiling at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560786' first='Lexyn' last='Grof'] of Jordan/Hoop Habits. Grof is one of the better shooters in this class and he has shown that in high school in 17u. Grof scored 22 points a game hitting 37 percent of his threes in the winter despite all the attention, and it helped his team to 16 wins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2417626' first='Will' last='Gyarmaty'] of Rochester Mayo/[program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury']. Will shot over 42 percent from the arc this year leading Mayo in scoring as a 6'4 wing. He scored nearly 16 points a game for a balanced team and now he's become a consistent scorer for Fury Reyes who just continues to win more than expected. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560850' first='Tristan' last='Hanson'] of Centennial/[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. At 6'5 Tristan has a shooting touch that has forced opposing defenses, colleges, and everybody else to respect what he can do. Hanson scored 15.4 points a game last season but he also did the work grabbing 8.5 rebounds a game and position wise Hanson is one of the best in the state contesting/shot blocking at his position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2145758' first='Thomas' last='McEachern'] of Zimmerman/[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. McEachern is an explosive athlete that can finish above the rim but can also do whatever a football coaching staff likes making him a prospect there as well. He scored nearly 20 points a game as a junior and has shown an improved perimeter touch with the Heat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2124278' first='Isaac' last='Peterson'] of Rochester Mayo/Minnesota Lightning. A college loves consistency, shooters with height/length, and a guy that can stretch the defense with a quick release in the corner and that is Isaac. He's a two time all league honored player at Mayo where he also plays football and baseball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2119645' first='Tyrel' last='Pride'] of St. Paul Johnson/Powerhouse Hoops-[program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. One of the quickest players in the state, Pride led Johnson in scoring this past season and he's made Powerhouse a competitive team once again at his age. Pride has also played some with the Heat and he's been the speedy paced player that gives them a new element. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2115657' first='Gavin' last='Roderick'] of Alexandria/[program_tooltip program_id='2075496' first='Grassroots' last='Sizzle']. Gavin was the fourth double figure scorer for the state champs putting up 11.5 points a game. He is a 6'4 explosive finisher that does a great job being active off the ball cutting to the cup, running the floor, and moving to putbacks. He's had a great off-season producing buckets in bulk. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560769' first='Ethan' last='Sonju'] of Glencoe-Silver Lake/Minnesota Swish. Pound for pound you likely won't find many scorers that can match all the way that the GSL Panther can score. The guys that can compare with Ethan can be counted on one hand. Ethan scored 24.5 points a game as a junior and he's been one of the leading scorers in all of 17u. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
