<p>The Class of 2026 in Texas offers a deep group of high-ceiling big men in the 6'7″-6'9″ range who remain uncommitted and are carving out roles today with one eye on the next level. In this size-slice, we focus on six forwards/centers who combine length, activity and translatable skills that fit modern college schemes and beyond. Each profile below is built off available film, high school context and recorded measurements, with an eye toward how their games project. These are not finished products — they're ascending prospects with room to grow. Let's dive in.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2610436' first='Bryant' last='Herring'] brings a blend of size, mobility, and strength that fits the modern pace-and-space game. He attacks off two bounces, finishes through traffic, and consistently impacts the glass on both ends. His ability to grab rebounds and initiate transition offense makes him valuable in up-tempo systems. Defensively, his lateral agility allows him to switch onto wings while maintaining interior presence as a help-side rim protector. Continued growth as a consistent perimeter shooter and added strength in post contact will elevate his readiness for the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2635232' first='Trey' last='Hall'] profiles as a modern hybrid forward with the length and coordination to attack gaps, space the floor, and defend multiple matchups. He excels at finishing plays off two feet and maintaining body control in traffic. His motor shows through in second-chance opportunities and quick defensive recoveries. Hall's combination of balance and positional awareness fits seamlessly into switch-heavy defensive schemes. Continued development of his perimeter consistency and strength against physical forwards will unlock long-term impact at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2454445' first='Anthony' last='Spencer'] brings legitimate interior presence with the agility to play in modern transition-oriented systems. His physicality and strength allow him to seal defenders, contest shots, and rebound above the rim. He runs the floor well for his size and can finish lobs or dump-offs with authority. Defensively, he provides reliable rim protection and communicates effectively in help situations. For college systems, his power-forward skill set and interior toughness give him early rotational upside.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2233783' first='Marc' last='Anthony'] combines wing-level agility with forward size, creating a mismatch profile in both half-court and transition play. His shooting mechanics are smooth, and he's comfortable attacking closeouts or finishing off cuts. His length enables him to contest shots and guard up or down depending on matchups. At the next level, his value will lie in his ability to space the floor while maintaining defensive versatility. Improving his handle under pressure and adding strength will solidify him as a two-way contributor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2715817' first='Macodou' last='Diouf'] projects as an energy big with legitimate rim protection, rebounding, and vertical pop. His combination of length, athleticism, and effort translates immediately to the next level. He competes for every rebound, rotates well as a secondary defender, and finishes with power inside. Diouf brings an excellent blend of athleticism and fundamentals — capable of scoring at all three levels while maintaining efficiency around the rim. His ability to guard multiple positions and stay disciplined in help coverage makes him a valuable piece for modern defensive schemes. Continued growth in mid-range touch and offensive reads out of double-teams will round out his profile as a versatile, two-way frontcourt option.</p>
