<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2026 National rankings update saw 10 players ranked on our website that are not found on any of the other public rankings websites (247, Rivals and ESPN) and in this article we'll break down five of those prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3103053"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a067879e6d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more under the radar prospects at OTE, Alessanco has the positional size and strength to immediately make an impact at the high major level. A high IQ forward who can pass, rebound and knock down an open shot, Alessanco checks a lot of boxes. Alessanco had experience playing for the Brazilian national team and currently holds offers to Nebraska, Michigan and Texas. Taking an official visit to Nebraska 4 weekends ago, it seems like they could be the favorites to land his commitment at this stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3041762"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a067879e744"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect who has been a killer on the EYBL Scholastic circuit, don't let the Stephen F Austin commitment fool you, Manciel is a big-time talent. The first place team in the Southland Conference is 25-4 and it's because they recruit talents like Manciel. In many of Wasatch's biggest games of the season, Manciel has stood out as an efficient scorer and a tough on ball defender against either guard position. I expect Manciel to hit the ground running at the college level and he picked a program that consistently wins at the Division I level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3240966"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a067879e78d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more dominant rim protectors and rebounders on a per minute basis on the EYBL Scholastic circuit, Seini stood out to me in person at La Porte for a Bella Vista Prep squad that is one of the better teams in the league. Not a very hard sell to me, Seini protects the rim, rebounds the ball on both ends, sets strong screens, has a 7'5 wingspan and a 9'3 standing reach according to Draft Express. At the U19 world cup, Seini led the event in rebounds per game for Cameroon. Seems like a player who should be on every national rankings website by this stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543489"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a067879e7d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The third and final EYBL Scholastic member included in this article, Whitty has had a big season for Christ School as a senior. One of the top scorers in the league, Whitty has taken his scoring ability to the next level. A monster track athlete, Whitty has the explosiveness and strength to fit in with the up-tempo style of play that the Big 12 is known for. If Whitty is consistently making perimeter shots, he should be able to craft a role early in his college career with the physicality he brings from the point guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1843133"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a067879e810"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of my favorite guards to watch this summer on the 3SSB circuit, Dunson Jr is a pure bucket getter. Recently breaking his school's career scoring record, Dunson Jr has Alexander in prime contention for Georgia's 5 A state title. I'm a big fan of Colorado State's 2026 recruiting class and Dunson Jr should have the opportunity to fight for minutes early in his college career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
