2026 Rankings Update: Top Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings update came out on Monday with 285 prospects taking part of the update. Prospects jump up the rankings in every update and this one is no different. Here are the top stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2917025' first='Prosper' last='Highlander'], 6'6 SG/SF Gill St. Bernard's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlander jumped up 28 spots in the update, one of the biggest jumps in the rankings. The 6'6 wing has a good first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes strong around the rim. Highlander has a high release on his jumper and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is a strong rebounder and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Highlander's versatility is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2883913' first='Pharoahe' last='Dixon'], 6'3 SG Northern Highlands</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dixon also went up 28 spots in the update, tying him for the biggest jump in the update. The Middlebury commit uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor as he can score in the mid-range and finishes well around the rim. Dixon rises up nicely on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He slides his feet on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Dixon is a talented guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763471' first='Lamar' last='Little'], CG Overbrook</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Little moved up 15 spots in the update and has the potential to move up even further. He uses his handle to blow by his defender off the bounce and is unafraid of drawing contact. Little can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He works hard on the defensive end and pushes the pace well in transition. Little can fill up the box score and should put it on display this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2672990' first='Sergi' last='Monzo'], 6'5 SG Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monzo went up 11 spots in the update and will be looking to move up more this winter. The 6'5 wing uses his athleticism to finish above the rim and can draw contact in the paint. Monzo is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and wastes little motion in his shot. He uses his length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Monzo is a lanky wing prospect </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621316' first='Matthew' last='Kennedy'], 6'3 SG St. Mary's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy went up nine spots in the update and has the potential to have a big senior season. The 6'3 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Kennedy moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He is an underrated defender and rarely forces jumpers in the half court. Kennedy is a sharpshooting guard prospect whose ability to stretch the floor and defend on the perimeter will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Track:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2370553' first='Chris' last='Kasparian'], 6'2 PG Palisades Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2988435' first='Cameron' last='Brown'], 6'5 SG Riverside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3040469' first='Nick' last='Ferdinand'], 6'6 PF St. Peter's Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598348' first='Foday' last='Dumbuya'], 6'0 PG Morris Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3138624' first='Jeriko' last='Thomas'], 5'11 PG/SG Absegami</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
