2026 Rankings Update: Biggest Movers Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We released our latest rankings update for the 2026 class last week. While there have been quite a few transfers back into the state (and rankings) over the last few months, there have been several players who rose in this update. Here's a look at some of the biggest risers in this update on the Senior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2634565"],"_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-693641d5d69aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaiden makes a move up to 61st and may still be underrated at that spot. He's already had some impressive statistical games this season and Harris has plenty of opportunities to make noise over the rest of the season. A guard who can score or create for others, Kaiden is a name who should continue to be known all across the mountains this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543613"],"_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-693641d5d6a57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nichols is another guard that is off to a hot start in his Senior season. Central Hardin is 2-0 to start the year and Carson's hot shooting is a big reason why the Bruins are having success so far. A 17 point per game scorer last season, Nichols has picked right back up where he left off last year and he and [player_tooltip player_id='2420996' first='Camdyn' last='Hogan'] have Central Hardin right in the mix for the 5th region title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563828"],"_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-693641d5d6aa8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Santana is a guard who could qualify as both quick and fast. He's capable of getting into the paint on offense and makes good decisions once he's there. Anderson also can be quite the nuisance on the defensive end as he is capable of getting under opposing guards and causing havoc on that end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1485712"],"_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-693641d5d6aef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cayon has slimmed down and gotten more mobile. As a result, his college stock is starting to trend back up and Gaines looks like he can provide an interior force that J-Town really needs to be a complete team. If Cayon and transfer Johnny McCauley can provide a tough frontline, the Chargers will be very tough to beat when it matters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2823414"],"_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-693641d5d6b33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Primarily a driver from the guard spot, Blevins is a tough lefty who excels at getting downhill. He's done a good job of getting to the free throw line through three games but needs to capitalize on those opportunities and convert And-1s. If he can shoot the ball better, Tay can be a difference maker in the hyper competitive 43rd district.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
