2026 Rankings Update: Top unsigned Western Pa prospects

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 the top remaining unsigned seniors in the western portion of the state.    The top-ranked unsigned prospect in the entire rankings, Bruce-McCrommon has as high an upside as almost anybody in the state and has made notable strides this year toward putting it all together. Averaging north of 20 points per game for a Gateway team off to an 8-5 start, he's a strikingly smooth wing scorer with alluring shotmaking ability from all over the floor. Bruce-McCrommon shows the ability to both create his own shot or slide off-ball and find his offense within the flow. He has interest from a wide range of D1 programs, with the possibility of a prep year also being in play to work on his body and add further experience given that he'll graduate at just 17 years old.     One thing that simply can't be taught is size, and Kalau brings that to the table in spades as an imposing two-way presence in the paint. The Congolese big man is a transfer from Andrews Osborne (OH) who's made an instant impact as the man in the middle at Montour, following in the footsteps of current UT Martin freshman Ama Tening Sow. Averaging nearly 15 points per game, he thrives inside as an above-the-rim finisher from the dunker spots or as a roll man. Defensively, he poses a natural deterrent with his size and length as a rim-protector. Despite some struggles with injury, Kalau is being pursued by programs all across the scholarship spectrum.     Easily one of the bigger sleepers in the state, Scarff flies under the radar at South Park but continues to make a splash throughout his senior year. Averaging just shy of 22 points per game, the athletic two-way forward has the Eagles off to a 12-2 start. He thrives around the rim on both ends where his size and athleticism combine with a nonstop motor to make him a highlight waiting to happen whether as a finisher or shot-blocker. He's effective beating opposing bigs down the floor in transition while showing flashes of ball skills and perimeter shooting that suggest greater upside left to tap into. Scarff should be a target this spring for scholarship-level programs in need of frontcourt help and could also benefit from a post-grad year to further his development and get more exposure at the D1 level.     One of the more natural athletes across the state, Harrison has been playing at a consistently high level throughout the winter with New Castle off to an undefeated start to the year. The athletic swingman is averaging more than 15 points per game, playing an efficient complementary style on the wing. He's effective spotting up off the ball and really thrives in transition where he can use his speed and vertical explosiveness to make momentum-swinging plays at the drop of a hat. Also a standout on the football field, it remains to be seen if Harrison will pursue hoops in college, but remains on the board as an intriguing scholarship-level option should he so choose.     The highest-ranked newcomer to the rankings, Saroya has stood out throughout his post-grad year at Erie Prep with his size and offensive versatility. A graduate of Kelowna Secondary in Canada, Saroya plays across the positional spectrum with his ability to initiate offense off the dribble, spot up on the wing, or make plays with his length around the basket. His shooting figures to be his calling card at the next level, with a smooth stroke out to the arc and ability to play out of a wide range of actions. He plays with a clear unselfishness and feel for the game that should bode well for his translation to a scholarship-level role before too long.
