<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings update came out on Monday with over 300 prospects being part of the update. Prospects jumped up the rankings with some prospects leaping up the boards. Here are the top stock risers from the 2026 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2966260' first='Christian' last='Gray'], 5'10 PG Shabazz</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gray had the biggest jump of any prospect on the list as he moved up 113 spots in the rankings. The 5'10 guard uses his quick handle to blow by his defender off the bounce and can finish in a number of ways around the rim. Gray can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He finds his open teammates in the half court and gets deflections on the defensive end. Gray is a speedy lead guard prospect who was a big part of Shabazz's Group 1 title win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763488' first='Andrew' last='Del Rey'], 5'7 PG Waldwick</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Del Rey sparked the Warriors throughout the season, which led him to move up 96 spots in the update. The Nebraska Wesleyan commit has a smooth release on his jumper as he wastes little motion and can knock down triples in bunches. Del Rey is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. He plays with composure on the ball and slides his feet on the defensive end. Del Rey is a sharpshooting guard prospect who torched the nets from distance throughout the course of the season as he put up over 650 points in his final varsity season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2883913' first='Pharoahe' last='Dixon'], 6'3 SG/PG Northern Highlands</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dixon had a monster senior season, which led him to moving up 81 spots in the update. The Middlebury commit uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and can finish through contact around the rim. Dixon can also play on the ball and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is an underrated rebounder and works hard on the defensive end. Dixon is a hard-working guard prospect who should carry that over into his collegiate career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3040469' first='Nick' last='Ferdinand'], 6'6 PF St. Peter's Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ferdinand went up 73 spots in the update as he showed his ability to make plays inside and out. The 6'6 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and his range extends out to the three-point line. Ferdinand uses his strong frame to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Ferdinand is a gritty forward prospect whose best basketball is ahead of him with his ability to stretch the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621632' first='Joshua' last='Swain'],6'5 SG Holy Cross Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Swain jumped up 66 spots in the update as he helped the Lancers take home the sectional title. The 6'5 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Swain uses his size to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He uses his length to cause deflections on the defensive end and moves well without the ball in his hands. Swain had big games down the stretch for Holy Cross Prep as he is a reason Holy Cross Prep won its first ever sectional title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Track:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763474' first='Aivaye' last='Ingram'], 6'5 SF/SG Trenton Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3484965' first='Jordan' last='Williams'], 6'4 SG Deptford</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2829458' first='Noah' last='Shaw'], SG Bayonne</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342686' first='Troy' last='Strelec'], 6'5 PF Hackettstown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2081040' first='Connor' last='Lee'], 6'4 CG Oratory Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
