Track These Rucker on Wood Senior Impressers During the Season

The 2026 class at the RCS Sports Rucker on Wood overall was the strongest classes throughout both weekends! In this article I will be going over five names that performed at a high level during the event.    [player_tooltip player_id='2556062' first='Shia' last='Francis'] showcased his exceptional skills during the Rucker on Wood event, effortlessly dominating the Rucker on Wood. His opponents struggled to contain his scoring prowess, as he effortlessly sank shots from various locations on the court. His athleticism and imposing frame set him apart, allowing him to finish strong even with contact. Additionally, his shooting touch was evident when he made shots off the dribble and catch. Shia's commitment to the Navy Midshipman is evident in his performance.     [player_tooltip player_id='2558803' first='Tywan' last='Collins']' defensive intensity was evident during the Rucker on Wood, as opposing players were forced to pass to teammates or commit turnovers. Overall, Tywan was undoubtedly the best defensive guard I watched in the 2026 class at the Rucker on Wood. Off turnovers, Tywan was one of the main players to score in transition at the basket. Offensively, there were multiple times where Tywan would aggressively attack the basket, absorbing plenty of contact and finishing at a good rate. Throughout my time watching him this past AAU season, I'm expecting him to carry his momentum into the upcoming high school season! You can count on Tywan to compete with every minute he has on the court.     [player_tooltip player_id='2952224' first='Garv' last='Bhandari'], a prospect I wasn't familiar with before the Rucker on Wood for the 2026 class, impressed me with his exceptional shooting ability. He can damage defenses if you leave him enough space to shoot. I was particularly impressed with his off-ball movement, as he was always ready to shoot, just one pass away, which resulted in him making multiple shots from range. His shooting touch left an impact in multiple games, and I wouldn't be surprised if I heard his name more as the upcoming high school season progresses!     Fola Sodipo was a dominant force on the interior during the Rucker on Wood event. Standing at 6'7” with a physical frame, he's a big man who would be a valuable asset to any team. His offensive game involved running the floor and making himself a passing target with his off-ball movement. He also showcased his defensive prowess by competing with opposing bigs, altering shots and demonstrating his strong rebounding skills. I'm highly impressed with Fola's game and believe he has the potential to translate his skills to the next level. Any college program that can secure an offer to him before his senior year ends would be in a strong position!     Christian Zayed made his mark by being a dominant force in the interior, leading his team to victory in this year's 2026 Class Championship at the Rucker on Wood event. In the championship game, the defense struggled to contain him due to his imposing physique, which he used to overpower his opponents in the post. Christian often found himself scoring by simply running the floor, creating himself as an open target in the half-court. His fluid movement for his size is noteworthy, as he is a prospect with the potential to significantly impact the interior. Be sure to watch out for Christian as he becomes a key player for Katy Tompkins this upcoming season!
