'26 Prospects To Have An Eye On Ahead Of Fall Ball

With both AAU tournaments and camp season fully in the rearview mirror, we embark on the month of September and that means both high school fall leagues and preseason showcases are upon us. With an abundance of games to be played over the course of the next couple of months before the month of December rolls around, let's dive into some under the radar prospects in the 2026 class that'll be looking to turn heads and gain a little more exposure throughout the course of this fall's action with their high school programs.    Coming off not only a junior season that saw him average 19.8 PPG, while also knocking down an impressive total of 88 threes, but also a strong spring and summer with the NJ Panthers, [player_tooltip player_id='1985469' first='Gavin' last='Randall'] will look to build on his strong play over the last calendar year heading into his senior season. A flame thrower from three point distance that can also attack off the bounce a little bit and get in the paint, Randall will look to showcase his ability to be a more of a diverse scorer for Madison this fall.     A steady combo guard with great feel for the game, [player_tooltip player_id='2883913' first='Pharoahe' last='Dixon'] will look to build off his strong summer and showcase much of his ability to be effective both as a floor general from the point guard spot while also providing scoring from different areas on the court at the two guard spot. Dixon has shown an impressive ability to initiate offense and be a trustworthy decision maker in combination with his ability to be an aggressive downhill attacker and perimeter shot maker and that should continue to be on full display throughout the course of this fall.     The engine behind Barringer's offense, Frederick Guerrero will look to continue to show his ability to score the basketball on multiple levels. Guerrero consistency plays at his own pace in getting to his spots offensively. Guerrero has, going back to last season, and will look to continue to showcase his ability to put pressure on the rim while also finding his in between game mixing it up with an array of floaters and mid range pull ups and even being effective knocking down outside shots from behind the three point line.     A versatile wing that can do a lot of things on both ends of the floor to impact the game, [player_tooltip player_id='2763474' first='Aivaye' last='Ingram'] will look to continue to showcase his ability to not only be someone that can handle the basketball and initiate offense but also make shots in a multitude of ways— finishing at the rim, off the dribble pull ups in the mid range area, and knocking down shots from three point range. Defensively, Ingram is somebody that can also use his length to rebound the basketball effectively, guard multiple positions, and play the passing lanes with great anticipation.     Ilijah Adams is a point guard that plays extremely fast on the offensive end, constantly looking to push the tempo while also being ultra disruptive on the defensive end of the floor, pressuring opposing ball handlers the length of the floor. Adams is capable of using his quickness to get in the paint and make plays for his teammates both in transition and half court pick and roll scenarios. Adams is also a pesky defender that has quick hands that just wears down opposing ball handlers throughout the course of a game.
