2026 Rankings Update

<p>With the turn of the new year came an update to our statewide rankings for the class of 2026. Keep reading for a look at some of the highest debuts in this edition of the rankings.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#25 - [player_tooltip player_id='1358185' first='Adrian' last='Mathis']</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Mathis didn't make it to Perkiomen in time for our last update, enrolling a few weeks into the school year as a post-grad from Lake Travis (TX). Since then, the lead guard has done nothing but impress, taking the leadership reigns of the Panthers and standing out as a true floor general with his ability to run a team, get others involved, and call his own number when appropriate. He was particularly crucial in helping stem the tide brought on by an early-season injury to backcourt mate [player_tooltip player_id='1413231' first='Elijah' last='Crispin']. Mathis has consistently looked the part of a D1 guard with each viewing, staking his claim as one of the top unsigned guards in the state.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#30 - [player_tooltip player_id='3046636' first='Anthony' last='Pannell']</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">It was largely an oversight not to have had Pannell in our last update, as the emerging rim-runner experienced his breakout this past summer while playing on the 16U circuit with the class of 2027. A senior at Bartram, Pannell easily aces the look test with towering height, an enormous wingspan, and natural mobility that makes him a budding force on the defensive end. Still relatively new to the game, he's still a work in progress, but has the type of tools and a foundational skillset that are impossible to overlook when projecting as a long-term prospect. While still likely to elect for a post-grad year and enter the 2027 class to further his development, Pannell slots in for now in the top 30 of our 2026 ranking.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#44 - [player_tooltip player_id='3044147' first='Tarun' last='Saroya']</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">A post-grad by way of Canada, we got our first look at Saroya in the early season and were immediately impressed with him as a prospect worthy of being in the upper portion of the rankings. Saroya impresses with his versatile offensive skillset with the blend of size and fluidity to thrive at either forward spot. He possesses a smooth shooting stroke across a variety of actions, along with smooth ball skills and passing ability. With limited recruitment still to this point, he could prove to be a steal for any number of programs up to the low D1 level.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#51 - [player_tooltip player_id='3044163' first='Ekene' last='Anyiam-Osigwe']</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Saroya's frontcourt mate on Erie Prep's post-grad team, we similarly hadn't had a chance to evaluate him until the season started, thus a good bit after our last update. Similarly to his teammate, he impressed with his two-way versatility as a modern forward. He shows natural passing ability from all over the floor while posing a mismatch as a scorer with his ability to take slower bigs off the bounce or punish smaller defenders in the post. The flashes of shooting potential are just a bonus. A post-grad from Santa Margarita Catholic (CA) originally from Nigeria, Anyiam-Osigwe has established himself quickly as a clearcut scholarship-level forward.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#59 - [player_tooltip player_id='2634105' first='Bennett' last='White']</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Having moved down from Newman School (MA) and enrolling at Perkiomen for his senior year, White immediately takes his place in the upper portion of our rankings. A smooth Canadian swingman, he built his reputation at Newman as a shooter, but has impressed in his time at Perk with his auxiliary skillset as an opportunistic driver and creative passer. White could rise even further if he shows greater consistency down the back half of the season, as he's a clearcut scholarship-level wing with the size and translatable skillset to even catch D1 attention when he's playing his best.</p>
