<p>Rankings are always debatable. We have some prospects who are ranked too low, we have some that may be a bit too high. It's alway a chore to get it right but we'll stay in the gym, keep working to bring notice to NorCal High School Basketball. These are the prospects who entered into the 2026 rankings top 100 because of their play on the court. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A capable point guard who brings confidence and toughness to the court. He has the tools to effectively run the point position, and excellent ball handler and passer.

<p class="text-gray-700">He's a quality guard that can handle things up top when called to do so. Settling the offense and finding open mates with his dribble penetration and ball movement along the perimeter. He seems more suited at this point working and moving off ball looking to knock down 3's in a variety of situations. He runs the court hitting 3's in transition, he'll work his way up for catch 3's along the perimeter. 111 to 91. We need to more of Casey</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He's a long wiry prospect standing 6'6. He's comfortable spotting up around the perimeter putting up catch 3's. This Spring we've seen improved play in the paint on both sides. He has the length to rebound, defend, and change shots. His passing is improved. 120 to 92.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He's put in good work this Spring sharpening his point guard skills. In other setting, he's an aggressive bucket seeker looking to drop 3's. He's still putting up shots, at 5'11 he's finding that balance. He did well running the teams offense when we saw him last. Good decision making, patience up top, long passes up court. He hit the mid-range jumper. 110 to 100.</p>
