<p>The latest 2026 rankings have been unveiled! With that we look at the best point guards that remain on the board uncommitted for colleges heading into the home stretch of the season!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2734369' first='Justin' last='Oliver'] (Curie)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Oliver is the clear top lead guard remaining on the board. He has had a big senior year for Curie leading them to be the best team in the Chicago Public League through the first half of the year. Oliver has had several big games including a 39 point outing! Low-major plus programs looking for an upside play should be all over him with mid-majors giving him consideration as well.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1883952' first='Panayiotis' last='Sotos'] (Maine South)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sotos is a big and strong guard that has a great feel for the game. Like his playmaking instincts as a passer in the half court that can get a bucket when he needs it. Averaged almost 20 points and 5 boards over the holidays at Hinsdale Central. Will be ready to go physically from day 1 at the D2 or small college level.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2823476' first='Lawson' last='Zulu'] (Rock Island)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Zulu's game is reliant heavily on his speed and ability to push the pace in the open floor. He is so fast with the rock in his hands slicing to the cup for scores at the basket. Solid playmaking feel and is a capable shooter along with being an active defender.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323268' first='Tishawn' last='Clemmons'] (Decatur MacArthur)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the best true leaders in the class is Clemmons. His move over from Eisenhower as a senior established MacArthur as the best team in central Illinois. High IQ guard that sees the floor making passes off live dribbles along with hitting deep threes and has a soft touch floater game. Like how he gets after it on the defensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323319' first='Colton' last='Hawkins'] (Carterville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Good sized combo guard that can play both on and off the ball. Moves well getting open for threes along with being able to create on his own with his handles setting up jumpers and drives.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845364' first='Morgan' last='Travis'] (Perspectives)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Travis has had a strong senior campaign at Perspectives. The tough minded guard is a sound perimeter shooter that has knocked down triples at a good clip throughout the season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845365' first='Adoni' last='Vassilakis'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pass first point guard that likes to get others involved. Crafty with the rock in his hand on runners and nifty layups in the paint. Makes those around him better.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1977254' first='Luke' last='Smith'] (Althoff)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith is a combo guard that stuffs the stat sheet on a consistent basis. He can play on or off the ball where he is a plus shooter from three with a stop and pop mid-range game to go with it. Skilled passer and is a good rebounding guard that should be a priority at the small college level!</p>
