2026 Stock Risers Coming Up Huge in January

With the new year in full swing, January so far has proven to be an action-packed month across the box state. Seniors on each squad are striving to cement their legacies and lead their team to state titles. Since the rankings have made a dramatic change recently, it's important we recognize the hoopers who are wasting no time making the most of the new year. Let's talk about it.    Sam Glynn is another crucial player on Kent Denver's stacked 11-3 roster, contributing an impressive 14.3 PPG, 3.4 APG, on 48% shooting from distance. Space creation is where Glynn thrives the most, switching up his pace and separating himself from his matchup to knock down difficult looks. Currently sitting as the #53-ranked guard in his class, Glynn has continued to show up and show out along with his other senior teammate, who's caught fire this season, G [player_tooltip player_id='1509234' first='Caleb' last='Fay'].     [player_tooltip player_id='1509234' first='Caleb' last='Fay'] pairs up with Sam Glynn to formulate a lethal duo primed for the big lights. Fay has a handle on a string while utilizing his size to score a sizzling hot 25.8 PPG, 8 RPG, and nearly 4 APG. There is no questioning Fay's work ethic, as he's built his way up the rankings brick by brick. The biggest takeaway from Fay's story is that hard work pays off, improving in nearly every statistic over his high school career. With the last semester of Fay's campaign being underway, he will look to seize every opportunity allotted to him.     [player_tooltip player_id='2299862' first='Cash' last='Boykin'] is now the number one-ranked SF in the class of 2026, and for good reason. Carrying Columbine to an 8-3 start to the season, Boykin demands attention on offense, cooking opposing defenses for 25 PPG. Boykin takes pride in forcing stops and suffocating his matchup when they have the ball. Earning a multitude of foul stripe points, Boykin has made it his mission to bump up his physicality around the rim and boxing out opponents, bringing down 9.4 RPG. Expect Boykin to continue dominating as we head into the February slate soon.       [player_tooltip player_id='2092293' first='Joseph' last='Haubert'] is Regis Jesuit's starting point guard who gets the job done on a game-to-game basis. If defenders fail to contest Haubert, they'll quickly find out he has a versatile arsenal of ways to attack the basket. Shooting 29% from three, Haubert is reliable from distance when he has the open look. The 6'0 PG enjoys hooking his teammates up with dimes served on a platter, and it doesn't suck to have F Eric Fiedler by your side, averaging 34.1 PPG either. Put in an environment that prioritizes winning, Haubert is set up to lead the Raiders back on a win streak.     [player_tooltip player_id='1622323' first='Kris' last='Redwine'] is an electric shooting guard who has propelled George Washington to a 9-3 start. Redwine excels in slashing to the rim and detonating above it. Chalking up 12.3 PPG on 59% shooting from the field, Redwine has gotten into a groove in his final high school campaign. Utilizing his wingspan and length at 6'3, Redwine closes out on shooters and rotates quickly on screens. Now ranked as the #16 SG in his class, Redwine has put together the ingredients for success.
