Six Uncommitted Class of 2026 Forwards/Centers to Watch – Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As more and more prospects go off of the board and the high school season draws nearer it is time to run back a recurring series here at Prep Hoops Indiana where we highlight some of the top uncommitted prospects at each position. These are players that definitely can play at the college level, and many of them have interest already, but remain uncommitted at this time. Here are six guards that college coaches need to have eyes on heading into the Indiana High School Basketball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2272233"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee56bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'7" center has really came into his own over the last few months and has turned into a legitimate college prospect. Brandon runs the floor well, is agile for his size, and is very bouncy around the rim. He is an above-the-rim finisher with the ability to rebound outside of his area and protect the paint defensively as well. There is a lot to like about his upside. Look for Brandon to have a big senior season and continue to play his way into more and more college interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561079"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee571e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fuller-Tucker has been a multi-year contributor for very good Providence High School teams. The 6'6" forward is an excellent rebounder and is a versatile defender with the unique ability to get out and hedge ballscreens, switch across multiple positions, and bang around with big men on the block. Small college programs that want/need to take a big man in their Class of 2026 should absolutely take a look at Fuller-Tucker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2272826"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee576e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'4" forward has flown under-the-radar in terms of statewide recognition, but the statistics speak for themselves. Harris will end up being a four-year varsity contributor and could potentially end his career averaging a double-double. He put up an impressive 14.9 points and 12.6 rebounds per game last season at Taylor High School. Small college programs that want a big time rebounder and consistent interior finisher should be on Harris heading into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2880789"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee57bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We had the chance to see Jones again recently when attending Merrillville High School open gym. There are few front court prospects in the state as bouncy as he is. The 6'6" forward/center can rise up and dunk it more like a 7-footer than a player of his size. Jones also shows the ability to step out and make open catch-and-shoot three-point shots which makes his upside pretty intriguing as well. He averaged 6.8 points per game for the Pirates as a junior, but now coming off of a strong summer should be ready to step into a larger role. Jones is very high academic as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399010"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee5805"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swoveland's offensive versatility at his size is what makes him so intriguing to college coaches. He is a legitimate 6'6"-6'7" with solid perimeter skill including catch-and-shoot ability. The Jay County High School prospect averaged 10.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game as a junior and looks ready to breakout even further this coming winter as a senior. Swoveland has attracted a good deal of small college interest so far and expect that to continue throughout his senior season leading up to when he makes a final decision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561085"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e67bfee584e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bloomington High School South is one of those places where you should always look to recruit from. Not only do they routinely turn out college-level talent, but because of how good Coach J.R. Holmes is their guys generally are more ready from day one at the college level. Tierney is an athletic, mobile, 6'8" center that is good on the rim run and on the roll. He does a good job of catching any pass thrown his way and can quickly elevate to finish. As he continues to get stronger his game will only take off further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
