8 Under-the-Radar Seniors to Follow

We've spent a lot of time recently highlighting the prospects that will be attending our upcoming Prep Hoops Indiana Showcases. However, now that fall workouts are starting up after Labor Day and college programs will be hitting the road for some open gyms it is time to turn our focus back to some under-the-radar prospects. Here are eight guys from the Class of 2026 that college programs from various levels should make a point of seeing this fall.    Bravard is an explosive guard that can attack off of the dribble and elevate to finish around the rim at the end of his drives. The 6'1" senior at Southport High School showed some real flashes over the course of the summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2471005' first='Legacy' last='Ice Elite']. His aggressiveness off of of the bounce and the ability to get to the rim consistently makes him an intriguing under-the-radar college prospect. After averaging 3.6 points per game for the Cardinals as a junior, Brevard could be ready for a breakout senior season.     Doolin immediately broke into the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 100 after we went to watch Greenwood play at Plainfield last season. The 6'6" athletic forward made a couple of catch-and-shoot three-point shots and then finished an impressive baseline drive with a two-handed dunk. He went on to average 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a junior and should really blossom into an attractive small college prospect during his senior season. Look for his recruitment to heat up.     One of the most talented playmakers in the senior class that you may not have heard of his this 6'3" guard from Calumet New Tech High School. Hudson IV averaged 15.5 points and 7.9 rebounds as a junior and made 43 three-point shots at a 33.6% clip. His ability to consistently create his own shot from all three levels, coupled with impressive positional size, makes him an intriguing prospect for the next level. Look for Hudson IV to have a big senior year up in The Region and garner some more college interest.     In terms of pure scoring and playmaking ability there are few prospects in the senior class, especially without offers, that have the talent of Jones Jr. The Marion High School star averaged 19.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 4.1 steals per game as a junior for the Giants and could easily become one of the top scorers in the state this season as a senior. A left-handed guard with a bigger, strong build Jones Jr. plays with impressive pace and has proven to be productive when playing against high levels of competition. Scholarship opportunities could come his way through the course of his senior season.     A strong, physical interior presence from NorthWood High School, Pearson has steadily improved throughout his career. He is a post guy that you can run action for and throw it to him in the post with the purpose of scoring. Pearson gets good, deep position, has clean footwork on the low block, and possesses the requisite strength to bang around with like-sized big men. The 6'7" center is one of the best small college big men prospects on the board in the Class of 2026.     There is no denying the physical and athletic tools of this 6'3"-6'4" hybrid wing/forward from Park Tudor. Smith was impressive over the course of the summer both with the Panthers and with [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] on the grassroots circuit. He is an active and effective cutter, can attack the rim downhill in a straight line from the perimeter, and projects as a highly versatile defender across multiple positions. Smith is a guy that more small college programs should be actively pursuing at this point.     With three Division I prospects and a ton of depth right now at Silver Creek High School it can be easy to forget that Sprigler was the second leading scorer on last season's team. Sprigler averaged 15.4 points per game for the Dragons and proved himself as one of the top catch-and-shoot threats in the state finishing an incredible 70-132 (53.0%) from three-point range. Small college programs should continue to be all over this 5'11" guard that can play both on or off of the ball at the next level.     Wade is a prospect we've remained pretty high on here at Prep Hoops Indiana over the last year or so. He is a capable catch-and-shoot threat with some legitimate scoring chops. In his third year of varsity action, the 6'2" guard averaged a career-best 12.6 points per game last season and should see his offensive role grow even more as a senior. Small college programs should continue to monitor him as a high-upside, two-way prospect.
