Ten Most Underrecruited 2026's

Here's a look at the ten most overlooked, undervalued and underrecruited players in WV class of 2026.    Boyce is a fluid and assertive guard who has a college ready body. He makes great decisions with and without the ball, makes teammates better and is a natural floor leader. Boyce is well above average shot maker from all levels and his overall strength allows him to get under bigger players on defense.     Santamaria is probably slighter in build than many coaches like, however his length and overall skill-set is rarely matched at 6'7". Anden's game develops as his body does as well but has continually developed his skill to be effective at anywhere on the floor.     Riggs literally sprouted up from nowhere to his current height but wisely enough worked hard to expand his skill level and his speed/explosion. Riggs has a great blend of drive, pull up and getting to the tin. Sporting an NAIA offer, I'd put Riggs on a higher level D2 in the future.     Smith has worked incredibly hard to recover from a lower extremity injury his sophomore year. He got through last year probably still hampered, however when we saw him to eval recently it looked as though he may have recovered fully. Smith has a great feel for the game, looks smooth in transition and creates for himself in the halfcourt when offense breaks down.     Hall isn't big in stature but he brings a big motor to the floor every time out. He's fast, explosive and bouncy which creates some exciting downhill transition sequences when he has the ball. He does a great job pushing tempo and keeping eyes up to look for scorers ahead. Excellent on ball defender who makes good use of his athleticism.     Johnston is the swiss army knife of basketball players. He's literally played every position on the floor at a varsity level and played it well. He's solid shooting it deep, guard skills he'll get his paint touches and has good vision to distribute. Rebounds it well, handles it well in transition and with ball pressure. He really does several things very well but just not one who's worried about big scoring numbers.     Jaylen has quickly become a very recruitable prospect in recent weeks. He posted crazy combine numbers recently at an on-campus elite camp so his stock is rising. JD has solid handles and is dangerous in the open court but is savvy enough to make plays sharing the ball. His explosiveness and length will allow him to be dynamic in the coming season.     Swanson has showed quite a bit of growth since last school season. His game has developed and expanded into a role of primary scorer and taking tough defensive assignments. Looks to be quick enough laterally to play on the wing at some level. Can be a turn and burn rebounded if he works hard in the paint.     Bailes seems to be a guy ready to be a next level point guard. Has handled ball pressure, shot the ball well and play hard nosed on defense. Looks to be athletic and quick enough to play the point at the next level.     Although we haven't seen Smith in over a year, we have a fair grasp on his game. Smith is essentially a big guard. Small forward or swingman fits him well. He really does several things that stand out including drive the lane for scores or dishes, rebounds it well, pushes the ball in transition as well as finishes in transition.
