2026: Radar Mainstays

We have some exciting talent about to enter their senior years in Texas. The players below are student athletes to keep on your radar early and often throughout the upcoming season.    Josh is a skilled, patient combo guard with the ability to work his way into the best opportunities available and absolutely dissect the opposing defense while doing so. He's got a great handle and use that combined with his positioning and physicality to get to spots in the key where he's nearly impossible to stop. He scans the floor effectively and he's always calm and collected - even when he gets in a jam or high-pressure situation. He has a good eye for his teammates and knows where they're most effective from. He allows them to get to their spots and then dishes the rock at the perfect moment to strike. His shooting range extends well beyond the arc and he's a tough assignment for his opposition on both sides of the floor.     Sebastian is a hard-working, talented shooting guard with a non-stop motor on both ends of the floor. He doesn't gloss over fundamentals or doing the work that may not be the flashiest, but is key when it comes to being a winning player on a winning team. He boxes out every time as he racks up boards on both ends, he can take it coast to coast if he sees an opening, and he has a good eye for his teammates in advantageous positions. If he doesn't block his opponent's shot on defense, he finds ways to alter it without fouling, often leaving them frustrated and ineffective. He's an excellent passer off the fast break and he elevates all of his teammates, as major impact players do. I'm impressed with his outlet passes, not only does he stack rebounds, but he immediately looks up the floor and gets the ball to wide open, streaking teammates with pinpoint accuracy for easy buckets.     Rashaan is a versatile, skilled combo guard that can impact the game in a myriad of ways for his team. He has great footwork, often using it on the drive to put himself in an unblockable position for incredibly easy looks at the basket. He's lengthy and can cover an impressive amount of ground after he gathers on his way to the rim. He never shies from contact and he's effective at finishing through it, often leading to bonus points for his squad from the charity stripe. His range extends well beyond the arc and he's not a player his opposition ever wants to give any amunt of space to. When they play him tight, he has the speed, ballhandling skills, and IQ to work his way past his defenders with ease. Listenbee leaves his opponents exhausted with the way he routinely wears them out on the offensive end.     Adrian is a fast, flexible shooting guard with the ability to slide to forward if called upon to do so. He runs the floor incredibly well and knows how to get a jump on the opposing defense, leaving him with wide open opportunities on the fast break. He's got a nice shooting form and he doesn't settle - if he sees an open lane to the rim or a way to open one, he'll pass on the jumper and opt for a higher-percentage opportunity. He's effective in the key and he's long, often tipping or blocking shots which lead to steals and extra possessions for his squad. He uses his length nicely in the air as well, often extending past his defender for an uncontested layup before his opposition knows what happened.     [player_tooltip player_id='2854586' first='Austin' last=''] is a lengthy, sharpshooting point guard that makes impact plays for his team and makes his teammates better. He uses his length effectively to get jumpers off over his opposition and consistently create disruption for his assignments on the defensive end. He's lethal from beyond the arc and his opponents quickly pick up on this, opting to attempt to eliminate any sort of space in front of him to get off a shot. The thing about [player_tooltip player_id='2854586' first='Austin' last=''] is he adjusts, too. He's a gifted passer as well and will shift to finding cutting teammates with airtight delivery if his own opportunities are being limited. He has a high arc on his shot that's beautiful to watch for the spectators, and not so fun to watch for his opponents.
