<p>July is almost over as August starts in less than a week. The new academic school year is right around the corner and the 2026 class is looking to end their varsity careers on a high note. Here are the 2026 Independent school wings to track this Fall.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148602' first='Eric' last='Hillsman'], 6'7 SF Patrick School</strong></h2>   <p>Hillsman should make an immediate impact at his new school as he transferred in from College Achieve during the summer. The 6'7 lefty finishes strong above the rim and finishes nicely around the rim. Hillsman can also score in the mid-range and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and rises up for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Hillsman is a lanky wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595671' first='Jebron' last='Harris'], 6'4 SG Patrick School</strong></h2>   <p>Harris can play either spot on the perimeter, which makes him an intriguing prospect to watch in the class. The Monmouth commit has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Harris moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He slides his feet on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Harris is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1764304' first='Gabe' last='Hornberger'], 6'5 SG Peddie</strong></h2>   <p>Hornberger made noise during his first season with Peddie and should have an even bigger impact in his second season. The Columbia commit has a good shooting stroke and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Hornberger is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the rim. He uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and rarely forces shots in the half court. Hornberger's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his game throughout the course of the season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1412111' first='Brian' last='Tassey'], 6'5 SG Lawrenceville</strong></h2>   <p>Tassey has the ability to play on the ball, which he should showcase this winter. The 6'5 guard uses his size to see over his defender and finds his open teammates in the half court. Tassey can also score in the mid-range and finishes well around the basket. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Tassey is a versatile guard prospect who should put his game on display throughout the course of the season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763489' first='Dede' last='Andre-Mushipu'], 6'5 SG/SF College Achieve</strong></h2>   <p>Andre-Mushipu is looking to make an immediate impact on the perimeter after transferring in from St. Benedict's this summer. The 6'5 wing attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Andre-Mushipu move well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the half court. He is a solid rebounder and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Andre-Mushipu should get more touches on the offensive end this season, which should help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p>
