<p>There are a handful of big-name additions to this senior class, a couple of which are familiar names. Let's get to know some of the big additions in this 2026 class, as well as some late bloomers popping up on our radars in the early part of the season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Stokes has lived up to the label of top recruit in the country in his first two games with the Vikings. He's racked up near triple-doubles in both games (31 pts, 14 reb, 9 ast, 6 stl vs Renton, & 27 pts, 14 reb, 7 ast, 8 stls vs Blanchet). The powerful wing has been gliding through defenses for big dunks, deep threes, and chase-down blocks, providing a ton of highlights early in the year.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pond returns from a brief venture out of state to rejoin Issaquah and help lead the Eagles in his senior season after a stint with the Diamond Doves. He's a lengthy scorer who can score from each level and will be one of the more exciting players to see this winter.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The big wing is a new name to know out of Eastern Washington's Mode Prep. He shoots the three at a good clip, has some good footwork to get creative by the hoop, and has the size to guard both the perimeter and low post. With his size and shooting, he's a name to get to know as a late addition to this 2026 class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Kunz is another kid with some good size who has already made an impression in the early part of the season. He has some good athleticism and footwork that's allowed him to work both around the hoop and with catches closer to the perimeter. He's had some real flashes this winter and will be a kid to watch as the season goes on.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The Columbia River guard is a pretty crafty player who has excelled in the midrange and getting to the hoop so far this year. He's pretty shifty, can split defenders and change directions well, and he's also been good at using the glass around the paint to finish from different angles.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Chertkov is an interesting post who has shown some good work rate with his rebounding on both ends, but is still pretty raw in terms of his finishing. He is still a big to watch given his size and effort inside, and he's also a kid who will contest shots and get a couple blocks for you.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Hanrjrah is a strong post who, while a bit undersized, has a great understanding of how to use his big shoulders to create space, get distance between his shot and contests inside, and has shown some pretty good touch around the basket. He's also strong enough to establish deep position on a pretty regular basis, and usually doesn't have to use more than two to three dribbles to get where he needs to go.</p>
