2026 Rankings Update: Top Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings update came out yesterday with a little more than 260 players ranked. Prospects jump up the rankings in every update and this one is no different. Here are the top stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621316' first='Matthew' last='Kennedy'], 6'3 SG/SF St. Mary's Rutherford</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy is the biggest stock-riser in the update as he moved up 46 spots in the update. The 6'3 wing attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of contact. Kennedy can also score in the mid-range and has a good release on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Kennedy picked up an offer from Georgian Court this summer and is looking to extend his offer sheet this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763474' first='Aivaye' last='Ingram'], 6'5 SF/SG Trenton Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ingram jumped up 26 spots in the update and has the potential to move up more this winter. The 6'5 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and can draw contact in the paint. Ingram has a nice handle and pushes the pace well in transition. He rarely forces jumpers in the half court and uses his athleticism to make an impact on the defensive end. Ingram is a talented wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621632' first='Joshua' last='Swain'], 6'5 SG Rancocas Valley</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Swain went up 22 spots in the update as he showed his ability to play either spot on the perimeter. The 6'5 wing has a nice release on his jumper and can make opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. Swain moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the half court. He has the size to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Swain's ability to play either spot on the floor is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2672990' first='Sergi' last='Monzo'], 6'5 SG Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monzo had a big summer, which resulted in him moving up 20 spots in the update. The 6'5 guard has a good first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and knows how to finish around the basket. Monzo is more than just a slasher as he has a good shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. He slides his feet on the defensive end and uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor. Monzo should get the ball in his hands more this season, which should help his development throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107943' first='JP' last='Skoric'], 6'8 PF/SF Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skoric saw his stock rise in a big way this summer as he went up 18 spots in the update. The 6'8 forward has a good shooting stroke and can knock down jumpers in bunches. Skoric can also put the ball on the floor and finishes well around the basket. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated defender. Skoric is a versatile forward prospect who should put his game on full display throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763494' first='Jayden' last='Solomon'], 6'2 CG Newark Collegiate</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763471' first='Lamar' last='Little'], CG Overbrook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107955' first='George' last='Boley'], 6'3 CG Jackson Memorial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342636' first='Chidi' last='Chukwurah'], 6'2 PF Sayreville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628194' first='Robert' last='Lopez'], 5'11 PG Glen Rock</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
